Attachment 36096And that's what I think of that.That would be Mr. Terrific. There is no Reed Richards equivalent in the DCU. Although the future DCU has Brainiac 5, who is emotionally stunted, but close. A go-to guy for everything. One who can intuit facts at a glance, where others see only featureless boxes or what have you. Plenty of smart people in the DCU, but they all either specialize or are in it for or because of the money. Only Richards and Brainy have this insatiable curiosity about everything combined with an uncanny knack to intuit and fulfill that desire.

I thought Terrific was the 3rd smartest man.... i mean that's literally his motto "Mr Terrifc, the 3rd smartest man in the world"

you can say he is being humble, but you would generally say "Yes I'm one of the smartest people"

but "third" is oddly specific

Ah damn, you're right. Strangely, though, I got the idea about T being smartest from you. http://community.comicbookresources....-Reed-RIchards But that was the Mr. Terrific of an alternate future. Small wonder you called me on it. Party on, dude. Wait, now I'm crossing my film references.

Does anyone have a list of stuff that Ray Palmer invented? From what I know:

• Bio-Belt
• Ant Farm
• A.T.O.M. (Arrowverse)

Anything else? I know Choi had his Bangstick that was unique to him.

I often thought Loren Jupiter would make a good friend and supporting character for a Ray Palmer series.
Definitely see him as a financial backer to Palmer's work.

The Justice League needs Ray Palmer.

The Justice League needs Ray Palmer.

i would love to see ray again. i wouldnt mind if dc had another league composed of most of the satellite era league. put the trinity in one branch, and have hal, barry, ray, oliver, the hawks, dinah, zee and ralph in another.

Kane always did the most incredible hands. He's also one of the few ink artists I've seen capable of doing a really marvelous job with a pen rather than a brush.

Oh. A Palmer. I get it.
