When Holt joined Team Arrow, the big question that fans were asking was when will he suit up as his alter ego, Mr. Terrific. Holt has been showing indications of being a superhero in the past seasons. Aside from being smart, Holt also shows abilities of an Olympic-level athlete. However, regardless of being the genius that he is, he has not tried on a suit yet.
In a recent report, Kellum stated that his character will be facing some trouble in the show, and that he will sometimes fail, but "Curtis is a very driven person" and he will pass all the hurdles that he will go through. Kellum also added that it will be a fun journey being Holt since his drive will push him to do everything, from performing in the Olympics to being a member of Team Arrow.
Kellum further noted especially now that Felicity has been removed as CEO of PalmerTech, his job with the company may be in trouble. He stated that Curtis is loyal to his boss and an active worker. He added that Curtis still works at PalmerTech but because of his loyalty to his boss, it might be a solidarity thing, like when the boss is gone Curtis also will go.
What To Expect
He concluded that fans will definitely see Curtis wear the mask as Mr. Terrific this year and that long-awaited event will be seen in the first nine episodes of the fifth season.
Curtis will have more free time in the fifth season now that he will not have a steady source of income. This means that he can help Team Arrow on a full-time basis. He will be creating new hardware for the rest of the team for the upcoming season.
In summary, Mr. Terrific will suit up in the upcoming instalment and a hero added to Team Arrow.
