Justice Society Of America Returns Mr Terrific's Origin (Spoilers)

Justice Society Of America #9 from GEoff Johns and Mikel Janin returns to the original origins of Mr Terrific today from DC Comics (Spoilers)

Mister Terrific first appeared in Sensation Comics #1 in 1942 alongside the first full-length appearance of Wonder Woman – and The Gay Ghost. An early attempt at the trope of a super genius who then excels at super fitness… and takes his prowess to the levels of the street.

Even though his origin was set around his own thoughts of suicide, and ended up saying another. You don't get a lot of that these days.

In today's long-awaited Justice Society Of America #9 by Geoff Johns and Mikel Janin, we have his sidekick Quiz Boy retelling that story, pretty much how it went down over eighty years ago.

As well as a reprise of that punch, and the new gang that it led to.

The Fair Play Club, now being added back into the DC Universe as well.

Pretty much just as it was back then.

Now solidly baked in the history of Mr Terrific. That is, of course, if the events of Justice Society Of America are taken on by the rest of the DCU now that Geoff Johns has left and taking a bunch of DC Comics artists on exclusive contracts with him, to Ghost Machine.

There was a time when JSA was meant to lead into a new Legion Of Super Heroes series as well, and so JSA also looks to the future…

… as well as rewriting the present.

Though might Jonni DC have to have a word to say about that? As recently seen in Blue Beetle #7…

Justice Society Of America #9 by Geoff Johns and Mikel Janin is published by DC Comics today. #10 is currently scheduled for the 30th of April and then #11 for June.
