T-Spheres are spherical electronic accessories commonly used by the JSA member Michael Holt aka Mister Terrific. The T Spheres are usualy found hovering around Mr. Terrific.
History
New Earth
The spheres were created by Michael Holt, and respond to his mental and vocal commands. He once described them as "curious" about something, implying that they possess artificial intelligence.[1]
Roulette used a variation of the T-Spheres to capture members of the JSA during her debut appearance.[2]
Batman used a version of the T-Spheres to recruit a new Justice League of America, which Mister Terrific took as a compliment that Batman would steal his designs.[citation needed]
Arrowverse
In the Arrowverse, the T-Spheres were originally a pair of automated drones created by Curtis Holt at Palmer Technologies, as part of Felicity Smoak's program "prototypes for the future". After he became the vigilante Mr. Terrific in Star City, Holt began using the Spheres as weapons to aid him in fighting crime.[3][4]
Black Siren later stole a prototype T-Sphere from the Arrowcave, which Cayden James used against Green Arrow.[5][6]
In the Doomworld Timeline, Felicity Smoak used T-Spheres while fighting crime as a vigilante in Star City.[7]
Functions
The T-Spheres can perform the following functions:
- self-propelled flight
- form a laser grid between the spheres[8]
- create holograms[9]
- record[10]
- sensors
- link to computers/data *communication, linking with and manipulating other electronic devices, from satellites to electronic locks[10]
- be used as a weapon by flying into things[11]
- bombs[12]
- electric charges[13]
Notes
- On Earth 23, Paula Holt uses floating robotic cubes called T-Cubes, which function identically to T-Spheres.[15]
- The villain Foul Play also uses floating robotic pyramids similar to T-Spheres. They are capable of firing lasers.[16]
- In Justice League Action, Martin Stein created S-Cubes that served as rudimentary T-Spheres when Mister Terrific's inventions were stolen by Calculator.[17]
- Quiz Kid created a Q-Sphere to seek out people, everyday people in need of help with their problems.[18]
