History
In 1948, a Qys spaceship crashed Wiltshire, England. Dr. Emil Gargunza used its technology to turn a trio of orphans into superhumans. By speaking their keywords, Micky Moran, Dicky Dauntless and Johnny Bates could transform into the Miracleman Family. Gargunza controlled them by inducing a dream-sate where they shared adventures as Miracleman, Young Miracleman and Kid Miracleman.
By 1963, the British government deemed the Miracleman and Gargunza's Project Zarathustra too great a threat. Gargunza fled to Paraguay, concealing his covert creation of Miraclewoman and Young Nastyman.An atomic strike was launched launched on the Miracleman Family. Young Miracleman was killed. Kid Miracleman escaped to live on as a superhuman and was corrupted by his power. Miracleman reverted back to Micky Moran and grew to middle age with no memory of his life as Miracleman.
In 1982, Moran's memory returned. As Miracleman, he fathered a superhuman child, Winter, and uncovered the truth about his past. Gargunza attempted to possess Winter and was killed by Miracleman. The Qys returned to Earth seeking to exterminate those created from their misappropriated technology. Winter's existence as a new form of "intelligent life" stayed their hand. Miraclewoman convinced the Qys and their enemies, the Warpsmiths, to use Earth as a place for détente and the joining of their cultures.
In 1985, Kid Miracleman attacked London, killing thousands. Miracleman and his companions were revealed in the ensuing battle. From London's ashes arose Miracleman's towering pyramid, Olympus, and a new world. It is a world free of War, of Famine, of Poverty. It is 1993. It is the Golden Age. There are its people tales...Residents
Notes
- Prior to being given an official reality number, this universe was referred as Earth-TRN393 as a part of our Temporary Reality Numbers classification system.
- Marvelman originated as an adult reboot of the comic book series of the same name and was published in Warrior, a British anthology series. When Marvelman was reprinted in the United States, the title was changed to Miracleman to avoid legal issues with Marvel Comics. It's ironic that Marvel took ownership of Miracleman and related characters in 2010.
- In the early years of Warrior, Dez Skinn, creator and editor, planned to build a shared universe around the stories printed in the anthology, Marvelman, V for Vendetta (DC Comics' future property), Warpsmith and Axel Pressbutton in particular. Kimota! The Miracleman Companion #1 includes a chronology that loosely connects these titles, compiled by Alan Moore and Steve Moore; it states that V for Vendetta takes place in an alternate timeline where Miracleman did not return. It is unknown if other Warrior stories were planned to be integrated into this reality or not, but the Appendix to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe assumed Madman was part of it as well and temporarily used its setting, Earth-18, as the designation for the Miracleman world before it was numbered Earth-82324.
