Picture [if available]:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Super Powers: New God Physiology: These New Gods have evolved due to their close proximity to the Source, a primeaval energy, believed to be one of the ultimate foundations of the Universal Expression of Energy, along with their superior technology, into beings of genetic stability and evolutionary perfection. The denizens of New Genesis are stronger, faster, and smarter than homo sapiens, despite their resemblance to the same.
- Immortality: Like few other of the New Gods, Mister Miracle is functionally immortal, having ceased aging physically near the age of 30. Unless he falls in battle, Mister Miracle is immune to the ravages of time, and could easily live for thousands upon thousands of years.
- Invulnerability: He is resistant to blunt trauma like punches, kicks, and blows from weapons like bats and maces, though not -completely- immune; unless the blows a dealt by a being with similar or greater strength than Barda, there just isn't a chance of injury. However, his invulnerability does not extend to bullets, laser-blasts, or other piercing/slicing weapons - his invulnerability is more akin to that of an Amazon, rather than a Kryptonian.
- Superhuman Strength: While Mister Miracle's strength as a New God is naturally greater than that of a human man of his (approximate) build and stature who engages in regular intensive exercise, his exposure to the Generation Matrix enhanced that twenty-fold. His strength can me measured in the hundreds of thousands of tons.
- Superhuman Stamina: Mister Miracle's stamina and endurance is nothing short of amazing. Due to the naturally exhausting and extensive rigors of his life on Apokolips, Mister Miracle is able to manage his stamina on a certain amount of rest and sustenance (more than minimal) so that it seems he is able to constantly function, though this is not entirely the case. Tied directly to his strength and invulnerability, even his immunity to a certain extent, Mister Miracle can actually function at peak efficiency for almost 48 hours before needing to eat and rest off the stress.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Like all New Gods, Mr. Miracle has a highly developed nervous system. His reaction speed and eye-hand coordination is superior to a normal human's. Scott can move fast enough dodge a bullet before the gun fires and react with blinding speed.
Superhuman Immunity: Scott has an extremely evolved immune system. It explains how he was able to survive on Apokolips for years without dying of a dozen diseases and toxins. In addition, having survived on Apokolips means he has developed immunity to a number of toxins and diseases. - Superhuman Coordination: Mr. Miracle possesses remarkable sense of his body. He can pick a lock with his mouth or wriggle his way out of a straitjacket while Oberon throws knives at him. He can use each muscle of his body in isolation. This makes him incredibly dexterous and allows him to perform many athletic skills as though he had years of training.
Alpha Effect: the antithesis of Darkseid's Omega Energy. the Alpha Effect. Its powers seem to cancel out or undo Darkseid's Omega Effect.
Anti-Life Embodiment: Mister Miracle also has the complete Anti-Life Equation, the Anti-Life Equation is said to give the being who learns it power to dominate the will of all sentient and sapient races. It is called the Anti-Life Equation because "if someone possesses absolute control over you - you're not really alive." but he refuses to use it as it reduces other beings to mindless slaves. Most recently in the anger for the Death of Barda and his friends, Scott has revealed he possesses greater power as the embodiment of the Anti-Life Equation, this power for all purposes allows him to warp reality, space, time, matter and antimatter on a cosmic level. The ability is apparently fueled by rage and negative emotions which scott himself doesnt have a personality for normally.
Learned Abilities: Master Escapologist: Mr. Miracle is the World's Greatest Escape Artist . He can escape most bindings in his sleep. In fact he has passed beyond unconscious competence in the realm of metacognition. He is aware of the unconscious procedures he's mastered and can modify them in their use with other skills or to use new knowledge. He is marginally better at escapes than the Batman, though it would take another expert to make that determination. Much of his skill is the result of his advanced nervous system. Scott has studied the science of traps. He could probably make the Joker green with envy. In addition to building traps, Scott can invent new ones using primitive or Fourth World tech. Mr. Miracle usually knows as much about a trap as the builder. As a corollary Scott is very knowledgeable about security and jails. He learned from the best on Apokolips.
Skilled Combatant: Scott Free is a pacifist and never uses violence unless all other means are exhausted. That doesn't mean he's a pushover. While he is not as skilled as the Blue Beetle or Black Canary, he does know martial arts. In combat, Mr. Miracle often uses his acrobatic skill and extraordinary leaps and flips to outflank opponents and his enhanced reflexes to dodge attacks. Scott is a good marksman but not familiar with thrown or melee weapons. They can hurt people.
Universally Knowledgeable: Scott has seen a lot of the Universe. He is knowledgeable about the Fourth World and much of our Universe. He can navigate a star ship or use a Boom Tube. He knows the people and places of New Genesis, Apokolips and Earth. He also has a working knowledge of many areas of Earth from his years on tour.
- New God Inventive: Himon taught Scott about advanced technology. Scott is an inventor though he usually modifies or improves Fourth World devices and doesn't build totally new devices. He designed most of the equipment in his costume or heavily modified it from standard models. Scott's bugaboo is Earth technology. He keeps trying to apply New Genesis standards to it or modify it with advanced tech. Sometimes he's way too trusting of Earth tech, like propane barbecues. Sometimes he decides a fusion-powered grill would be snazzy. He's not incompetent, he did run a fix-it shop in CT. But sometimes he has lapses into mad science. Scott has no such lapses with League technology or computers. He often divide tech support duty with Beetle.
Expert Performer: Mr. Miracle is a media star as well as a superhero. He knows how to play a crowd and how to make his escapes look a lot tougher and closer than they are. Oddly this sort of thing comes in handy in superheroics. Scott is a master of escaping, using his stealth skills to sneak away and then reappear at a dramatic moment.
Persuasive: Scott is a glib taker and married life has honed his skills of persuasion. He can also be surprisingly intimidating when he wants to. Part of this is his godly heritage. Part of it is living with Barda. He learned from the best.
Equipment: Scott has many weapons to help him escape including his costume, his gloves, his cape, his mask, etc. He also has Aero Disks to help him travel and fly. Mr. Miracle is in possession of the Motherbox and the Multi-Cube, both helping him in battle.
Weaknesses (Must Have): Radion: New Gods are vulnerable to a substance called Radion. It source is unknown and its effects are toxic only in sustained amounts or after explosive exposure. The average New God can be slain by an application of Radion from a Radion blaster or bomb. More advanced beings such as Mister Miracle, protected by their mother box, armor and sheer toughness, have been known to take two hits and survive. Radion, must be hard to come by, because if it was not, Darkseid would obviously equip more of his troops with it. Perhaps it requires the mysterious Element X to create it.
Nonviolent Moral Code: Scott dislikes violence. He will only use it if it's necessary. He could never willingly take another's life except to protect innocents and even then might choke. He doesn't strike the first blow. A sneak attack or roughing a person up is often more than he is capable. He likes to resort to trickery to get things done.
Background: Mister Miracle was Scott Free, the god of escape in the New Gods mythology. Originally, the boy Scott Free was the son of Highfather Izaya, the ruler of New Genesis. However, as part of a diplomatic move to stop a destructive war against the planet Apokolips, Highfather agreed to an exchange of children with his enemy Darkseid. In doing so, he surrendered Scott Free to the care of his enemy while he received his enemy's son, Orion.
For years, Scott Free grew up in the care of Granny Goodness, a sadistic minion of Darkseid who oversaw the training of Darkseid's forces with inhuman intensity. As he matured, Scott learned that he had a natural talent for escaping and overcoming seemingly impossible traps. His talent and his love for freedom were furthered by Himon, a natural troublemaker and the one god whom Darkseid's forces weren't able to capture. Scott refused to be hardened by the planet's cruel abuse and kept his innocence and hope in the midst of such darkness. He fell in love with Big Barda, a warrior who was leader of an elite squad of woman warriors known as the Female Furies; she in turn was won over by his innocence and goodness, and later married him.
Eventually, Scott Free escaped and fled to Earth. Once there, he became the protégé of a circus escape artist, Thaddeus Brown, whose stage name was Mister Miracle. Brown was impressed with Scott's skills (especially as supplemented with various advanced devices he had taken from his previous home). Scott also befriended Brown's assistant, a dwarf named Oberon. When Thaddeus Brown was murdered, Scott Free assumed the identity of Mister Miracle. Barda later followed Scott, and the two used their powers, equipment, and skills in the war against Darkseid, who was still interested in recapturing both of them.
On Earth, the two have often accompanied Orion, and all 3 have served on the Justice League.
For a time Scott retired as an active hero, and a man named Shiloh took his place as Mister Miracle.
Personality : Mr. Miracle is the definition of free-spirited. He loves humor and to show this, he most always resorts to tricks and pranks while fighting. Scott generally doesn't care what he's doing and tends to live in the moment. He can be very serious and even step up to be team leader if needed. Mr. Miracle is very outspoken and is not afraid to stand up for what's right. He tends to be the activist of the League, speaking out to the people about what's right and wrong.

Brief Sample Roleplay
Springfield, Alabama; 4:53 pm
United States Untouchables Training Facility
United States Untouchables Training Facility
A large Boom Tube opened up on the top of the USUTF building and a green, yellow, and red-clad man stepped out. His green cape billowed in the strong winds from the Boom Tube as it slowly closed. The man stepped onto the roof and walked over to the edge opposite of him. He leaned on the ledge of the roof and peered over. Two heavily armed guards paced back and forth in front of the main door. They both shot confused glances at each other and Scott assumed they were a result of the loud winds from his Boom Tube.
A smirk peeled from Scott's lips behind his mask and he pulled out his Aero Disks from seemingly nowhere. Scott jumped onto them and hovered over the roof, looking across at the well-cut, well-kept, green grass the stretched towards the front gates. Finally, Scott soared off the roof and, with his arms crossed over his chest, he hovered to the ground towards the guards. They all cocked their guns and looked up, aiming at Mr. Miracle's head. Mr. Miracle, now smiling, held his hand out and then eased her aim on him.
"Mr. Miracle aka Scott Free, administrative tactician."
"Always gotta make an entrance, Mr. Free? Permission to enter."
"Of course I do."
Scott smiled and jumped off of his Aero Disks. He slid them back together and put them on his belt. the armed guards relaxed and the front door opened. Mr. Miracle nodded to the main guard and walked into heavily air-conditioned building and walked down the hallways. He turned a corner and then entered the main administrative office. There was Mr. Terrific and Batman. Scott nodded to the other tacticians of the Untouchables and smiled.
