The Terrifics!

[Robotman]

Surely someone has posted this already but they're really going all out with the FF connection.

Mr. Terrific + Plastic Man = Reed Richards
Metamorpho = The Thing
Phantom Girl = Invisible Girl/Woman

They're only missing The Human Torch.

Metamorpho can turn into phosphorus

Fantastic Four analog aside, I am just really excited to see these characters back in the DCU in a meaningful way.

Red Tornado would be good for that or Firestorm.

Tough crowd, I guess. The FF similarities are obviously intentional, so im confused about the complaints. This looks like something I'll be into b/c sometimes I get tired of Justice League, SS, BOP and Titans being the only options when it comes to team books.

Yeah, the only other DC teams I really like are the original Outsiders and Shadowpact line-ups, so it's nice to have options besides DC's more traditional teams.

Most of them are combos of the different aspects of F4.

Mr. Terrific - 2nd smartest guy in the world, science, leader, can get lost in his work, invents stuff.
Metamorpho - The big strong guy, can transmute into any element or compound, can change to gas, liquid, solid states - by extension incendiary
Plastic Man - The stretchy one, happy-go-lucky goofy prankster, impulsive, uses humor to mask insecurities.
Phantom Girl - Intangibility, phasing, shielding-ish ability.

I like Mr. Terrific so I'll give this a shot

He is also invisible to all forms of electronic detection, last I checked.

Yeah why did they change his name to Curtis on the show again?

Probably because they haven't decided if they will used the real version/Michael in flims, many of Mr T fans have zero interest seeing him being part of team arrow/ green arrow lackey/sidekick so the Curtis version which more less a completely different character is better served in that role, also I heard the Crutis version is sopposed to be Michael brother (Michael has 1 or 2 brother in comics iirc both are dead.. It seem petty similar to Jax Firestorm situation, - where they took a supporting characters of lead hero & made them the hero, but get to more less write em how ever they want with less complains form their fan base..

You're missing:

Mr. Terrific's T-Spheres = H.E.R.B.I.E. (Humanoid Experimental Robot, B-type, Integrated Electronics) the robot

[The Learner]

Interesting. I will give it a try.

[Flash Gordon]

I can't wait! I wish Jeff Parker were writing this, though. Or Matt Fraction.

Absolutely.

. . . I don't see what a new Phantom Girl brings to the team...

Maybe Lemire is a fan of bad / failed TV shows of the 1970s?

Maybe "Mister T(errific)" (Michael Holt) and Phantom Girl ("Tinya Wazzo) are homages to . . .

Mr. T and Tina?

[Jim Kelly]

Geoff Johns has some good ideas for super-heroes, but the T-spheres is not something I've ever come around to liking. And the more they do it, the more it feels like they're trying to force the idea that it's cool. I also don't like the T mask.

Actually the whole emphasis on T reminds me that he's Mr. T.--where maybe they should play up other aspects of the character like the "Play Fair" motif.

[Graphic Autist]

I'm not quite getting how people interpret this as a FF thing...other than something fantastic can be considered terrific.

Seriously...I would otherwise think this was just some team...not BASED off of anything.
