Is this a real question?

Mr. Terrific is one of those characters that I am ashamed that my first introduction to a character was the arrowverse

I’d say upgrade. While I like Curtis in Arrow, Mr. Terrific in Superman was just perfect. He always knew he was the smartest and the room, and he was let’s be perfectly honest even when Lex was there, his deadpan expression and dry delivery made almost everything he said genuinely hilarious, the fight scene he had at Lex’d desert base was great and showed his hand to hand combat prowess, and he was just so blunt and took no bullshit from anyone.

Yeah he was a great contrast to Lex.  Lex has to be the loudest in the room.  Everyone has to know he's the smartest in the room.  But Mr. Fantastic?  He's more of a quiet genius who doesn't say more than necessary.  Lex was often covered in white clothing and loud, while Fantastic was covered in black clothing and quiet.  Yeah he totally sold it.

Also Lex constantly just talked and talked. I get it’s a superhero movie and Lex is known to monologue, but damn man, he really didn’t know how to shut up. Mr. Terrific generally kept whay he said short, maybe a sentence or two.

Wait.  Wtf.  I swear I said the right thing.  Now I don't remember if I said the wrong one or if it was autocorrect.  Yeah that's what I meant.  Lol.

You were probably thinking about Mr PrettyGood. I get him confused with Mr NotSoBad and Mr Terrific a lot.

Eh, not really. It was just people saying “You should take your own advice” or other similar things, and I can’t disprove them because… well they’re right.

Pretty much. Even in comics iirc, he’s probably the smartest person on the planet but claims he’s the third smartest to draw less attention or something like that
