8 Golden Age Characters Who Should Appear In The Arrowverse

The unfortunate side effect of two separate DC superhero universes running alongside each other on different mediums – the DC Extended Universe and the crop of TV shows known as the Arrowverse – is that they often can’t use the same characters. The TV series, in particular, have many of the big DC heroes off-limits. This could be seen as a major weakness, but thankfully, the Arrowverse has managed to turn it into a strength.

Mr Terrific

While Echo Kellum’s recurring character on Arrow, Curtis Holt, is mostly based off Michael Holt who only debuted in 1997, the original version of all-round renaissance (super)man Mister Terrific first appeared in 1942, which sneaks him onto this list.

After appearing several times in Arrow season four, Curtis will be made a main character for season five. Given that, it is more than likely that he will take up the identity of Mister Terrific on the show fairly soon. In case that isn’t the plan, though, he really should. Despite the Terry Sloane version of the character having been around for so long, the hero has never appeared in live-action before now – a quick reference in Smallville has been the extent of it so far.

A genius level intellect as well as an Olympian athlete and master martial artist, Curtis’ super alter ego would definitely give Green Arrow a run for his money.
