The Terrifics!

[Lonewolf36]

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.

Red Inferno would have been a good Human Torch counter Young, flame power, bit of a hothead.

[Potanical Pardon]

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.

OK...

I hope it's good. I'm still oblivious, though.

I don't think that word means what you think it does. (Or I misread this sentence.)

I'm pretty sure I'm oblivious, but now you're making me doubt that, which would mean I am OMNIPOTENT! Impotent? No...I like Omnipotent better.

Anyways, other than Plastic Man, I am not seeing any connection to the FF.

You're not seeing any connection with them having uniforms all of the same colour scheme, a super-genius leader who shares his name with the team's, a woman with a kind of "ghostly" power, a guy turned into a monstrous being who misses being normal, etc.?

Also being played as a family.

Everything about this announcement pleases me.

My only regret is (and it might not actually be one since there will be two different versions of Midnighter and Apollo running around in DC comics, is that Mr. T is one of my all time favorite members of the JSA and I would hate to think that his inclusion on this team would rob us of him in that book, but as I said it can be as simple as there being two different Midnighters. It does seem like a swipe at Marvel, if you don't want to tell FF stories then we will.

Since we don't know what/when version of a JSA DC is supposedly considering, Holt being on another group doesn't really make a big difference yet. (After all, the JSA was created nearly 60 years before Holt made his first appearance in the world of DC comics.) Who knows what part(s) of the JSA's histories they'll keep in place?

[Nomads1]

Better than the Terrifics, I'd say the group should be named The Terrific Tetrad (more sofisticated than The Tetra-Terrific).
Seriously, though, I'm looking quite foward for this team. Really very courious. But I'd rather the girl be Phase, and not Phantom Girl.

Peace

[Shadowras]

Me too, looking forward to this and the Hulk analogue.

[Clairaudient Freedom Soldier]

When will Mr. Terrific and Phantom Girl have their own overpowered "Franklin Richards"?!

[Kaled]

Everyone-including the panel members-call her Phantom Girl but I wonder if this is actually Stealth from L.E.G.I.O.N....could lead to their return before relaunching Legion of Super-Heroes.
