Since he was a child, Michael Holt stood out from the rest for his great intelligence, which helped him to be a successful man, although what really made him most grateful was having met the one who would be his wife during this journey. Fate unfortunately made him lose just that, and he would want to end it all after that if not for a bigger intervention. Today, the premonitions of many about him proved correct, when Holt literally becomes a superhero, even without powers, and willing to show that his gifts can also make a difference, if the world needs them. Based on the DC comics, 'Mister Terrific' focuses not only on going back to the past and telling the origin of its titular character, but also presents in his present his new mission alongside his team of fellow superheroes, when they realize that someone seems to be interfering with something related to the Justice League.
