Mr. Miracle was a costumed magician hero said to possess “all of the terrible forces cosmic”. Before he was known as Mr. Miracle, he tried to commit suicide by jumping from a bridge into the waters below. He was saved from drowning by a passerby and taken to a lab far up in the hills. In the lab, he was tended to by Professor Rietz, who exposed the man to a device called a mind ray. Unfortunately, the professor was betrayed by his assistant Sango, the plans for the mind ray were stolen, and the professor was shot. Left for dead, the professor lived just long enough to tell the man he saved of his new powers and to stop his assistant by destroying the mind ray plans. The man dubbed himself Mr. Miracle and used his powers to battle evil.
