A lot of uninformed folks like to dismiss Terry Sloan, the Golden Age Mr. Terrific, as just a forgettable non-powered guy whose only gimmick was a now-corny slogan.
Guys, please.
Mr. Terrific had special talents comics out the wazoo!
For example...
Again, please.
Now, please don't ask, but this case revolves around finding the body of a dead parrot. Don't ask.
No, it's not a Monty Python routine.
But in order to flush out the killer and the hidden corpse of the ex-parrot, Mr T needs to unleash more abilities!
See--"Master Of The Art Of Shadow Casting"!! Let's see Batman pull that off!!
But wait--there's more!
Scoff you may, but it works!!
And Mr. Terrific's true talent?
Punning while punching!!
Mr. Terrific--lip-reading, shadow casting, ventriloquism--FAIR PLAY!!
From Sensation Comics #27 (1944)
