Mister Terrific
(Kingdom Come version)
Context
Kingdom Come was a landmark 1996 mini-series, depicting a possible — and rather grim — future of the DC Universe.
A version of Mister Terrific is seen in this future. But he seems to have little in common with the heroic legacy started by Terry Sloane in 1942, and continued by Michael Holt from 1997 onward.
History
The only thing for certain about this Mr. Terrific is that he bears little connection, in appearance or in mindset, to either of his predecessors.
He knows the access codes for verbal operation of the android war machine known as NIL8. But it is doubtful that he is the android’s creator.

Powers and Abilities
Mr. Terrific III has no innate powers or abilities. Just a lot of firepower strapped to his body.
Description
Mr. Terrific III is big. Real big. And he wears this… thing, this portable gun rack. Large rifles protrude over each shoulder and jut out by each of his hips. A small rocket launcher is attached to each of his forearms. He resembles his predecessor only in that the words “Fair Play” are emblazoned on his abdomen.
Personality
It takes a very big ego to name yourself something like “fantastic” or “terrific” and the third Mr. Terrific has no shortage of conceit. He believes himself to be the one true crusader for justice remaining in the crazy world of Kingdom Come.
To him, justice and “fair play” aren’t as simple as they once were however. Fairness must sometimes be enforced with a clenched fist. He acts as though guided by a moral code no other mortal can understand, lofty arrogant, and following his own rules.
In short, he is everything Terry Sloane stood against.
