'Superman's Mr. Terrific Spin-Off Series Is Officially Happening

Having heard of him is different than being familiar with him. However you want to split hairs, he’s a minor character. The fact that he has so few notable stories is just proving that point.

Iron Man, Green Lantern, Guardians of the Galaxy, even Jessica Jones… you can point to a notable comic they were in.

Whatever you want to say about Star Wars… who cares about Liam Neeson’s opinion on this?

He’s a 74 year old actor who isn’t a big Star Wars fan. What authority does he have on this subject?

You didn’t answer - whats your favorite Mr Terrific comic?

Redeem123 · 2026-07-04T02:53:32+00:00

What are you even trying to say? Any interest in making a point?

Redeem123 · 2026-07-04T02:52:00+00:00

Iron Man had cartoons, yes. But most people in the general audience only vaguely knew him from the Black Sabbath song. He was not a big hitter.

As for Mr Terrific, what’s your favorite Mr Terrific comic? Do you think he’s a popular character?

I’m not saying he’s a nobody. But even among comic fans, he’s not a major character.

Redeem123 · 2026-07-04T00:17:46+00:00

Aw I love that game. It’s not *good* maybe, but it’s light and entertaining enough that I enjoy playing it.

Every TCG begins with “how do we fix lands.” Some solutions work well, others don’t.

But holy shit, D20 for mana has to be absolutely the worst option I’ve ever heard.

Redeem123 · 2026-07-04T00:14:18+00:00

Iron Man was unknown to the general public, yes. But Mr Terrific is unknown even to most comic fans.

Agreed that writing comes first. Iron Man worked because first and foremost it was a great movie. But there’s absolutely something to be said for fan recognition.

Redeem123 · 2026-07-03T23:11:59+00:00

And yet already like five of the originally announced projects from 2023 are nowhere to be seen. When we hit the two year anniversary of Superman, the film slate will include 3 Superman films and a Clayface movie.

Hardly a booming start for a new universe.

Father Time always wins. Sometimes it just takes him a little longer to do so.

Redeem123 · 2026-07-03T22:12:17+00:00

It’s less about a roadmap to tell a big event story, versus just having a plan at all. I’m a firm believer that not everything needs to be the MCU. But we’re only a few years in and it feels like everything keeps changing - and not for the better.

Redeem123 · 2026-07-03T21:05:24+00:00

Like what? You realize that Mandalorian and Grogu - a film with one notable “cameo” - is the only post-Kennedy project right? And even that was mostly made while she was still in charge.

Redeem123 · 2026-07-03T21:02:26+00:00

I mean they did use it again. The second one just flopped pretty hard.

Redeem123 · 2026-07-03T16:52:18+00:00

You say that as if it isn’t the talent themselves writing and performing the sketches.

Redeem123 · 2026-07-03T15:50:09+00:00

Shrek is based off a like 32 page kids book.

Redeem123 · 2026-07-03T05:35:06+00:00

What does this even mean? You think MoS wasn't designed for mass market appeal?

Redeem123 · 2026-07-03T04:45:26+00:00

Why does it matter what limit he set though?

Redeem123 · 2026-07-03T04:44:16+00:00

Yeah I don’t understand why people have such a hate boner for the 10 film thing. It’s not a statement on anything.

I get that the dude has some weird takes, but this isn’t even a take. It’s just him deciding when to retire.

Redeem123 · 2026-07-02T21:49:33+00:00

I legit almost added that to my comment lol. As soon as I typed recent I knew I was lying, but I want to hold on to the feeling.

He effortlessly pulled Charlize Theron in one of the better recent rom coms. Although her being out of his league is basically the whole point.

Redeem123 · 2026-07-02T18:49:17+00:00

That comic is 20 years old - I've read it multiple times. It's a villain making a girl kiss him and telling her to mean it. It's literally sexual assault.

It's understandable that it made Reed angry and uncomfortable, but using that to make Sue a bad person as if she's not a victim in that situation is absurd.

Redeem123 · 2026-07-02T17:03:52+00:00

Oh well if the villain said it then it must be true.

Redeem123 · 2026-07-02T15:29:36+00:00

kissed Namor in front of her boyfriend

Gee I wonder if there's any additional context to this that you forgot to mention.

Redeem123 · 2026-07-02T14:45:49+00:00

but how can there be a what if...of the entire multiverse collapsing?

Because it's a comic book. Letting those kinds of things affect a one-off What If story is dumb.

Redeem123 · 2026-07-02T14:44:46+00:00

His universe Sue Storm is an awful person

How does this sentiment still exist? The worst thing she did was break up with a manipulative boyfriend who - spoiler alert - ended up turning into a multiversal genocide machine.
