An alien 'pseudo-god' and possible successor to Darkseid.
Description[]
Mister Miracle is well-built and athletic and wears a red superhero costume with yellow 'briefs' and face mask. He also has green gloves, boots, a belt and a cape with raised collar. He describes himself as a "master of escape" and acts like a showman, shouting out his name to encourage applause and adulation, but this self-importance can make him reluctant to cooperate with others. Mister Miracle is an adopted son of Darkseid (he is called "Scott" or "Scotty") and a potential future ruler of Apokolips, which he says is his "hometown planet", but has chosen to flee to Earth where he earns his living as a stage magician.
He does not appear to have any powers but has mastery of escapology, meaning he cannot be kept tied down by anyone, and can create smokescreens to cover escapes. He also is able to employ sleight of hand to steal things, and if he has 'lifted' a 'Mother Box', he can transport around during combat using its 'Boom Tubes' before finally escaping through one. Mister Miracle also carries a small spherical device (probably technology from Apokolips) which can create lighting effects to enable him to escape from awkward situations and it can store the part of the 'Anti-Life Equation' he has stolen from Darkseid.
He tells Darkseid that he has left Apokolips because of favoritism shown to Kalibak but his concerns about Darkseid's plan to rule the universe using the Anti-Life Equation are a more likely reason. Mister Miracle is the boyfriend of Big Barda and though she doubts his commitment he is prepared to save her from abduction.
Because he is not initially familiar with Batman and is reluctant to cooperate with him, it is unlikely he is a member of the Justice League.
