It feels like making him black as well was to increase his "exoticism" and that makes me uncomfortable. Not because he is black, but because he is black and so comprehensively "othered" by his sapphire teeth, white suit and dark glasses. We then move onto Evelyn Cream and I am not going to lie, I do find him a somewhat worrying character. She thinks his power might be all in his mind. Liz posits the idea that he has a forcefield that stops him being driven into the ground by the weight. Miracleman picks up huge boulder and lets it smash down onto his head. Liz and Miracleman are still on the moors. Kid Miracleman: "He just better hope I never get out of here. When she starts listing things like superbreath though, Miracleman looks adorably confused.īack with Johnny Bates, he's in some sort of fugue state being examined by doctors and inside his head he's being yelled at by Kid Miracleman, who swears revenge on Miracleman. Flight, super-strength and near invulnerability get an affirmative. She lists off some of the powers she's compiled. I thought if we wer going to investigate your power, I'd better do some research work." It seems two months have passed since his battle with Kid Miracleman, his face is still burned but has healed substantionally. Mike seems a little uncertain about all this but changes into Miracleman nontheless. It seems Liz initiated this idea making her an early example of one of Moore's proactive females. We next find Mike and Liz out on an excursion to the moors to do some tests on his powers. Miracleman and Liz leave him virtually catatonic, while elsehwere in London, the authorities have unleashed the ultimate sanction to deal with Miracleman, a black man with sapphires for teeth called Evelyn Cream. He turns back into sixteen year old Johnny Bates and seems to have lost his power to return back into his superpowered self. He and Miracleman fight, but Johnny is stronger, before he can finish Miracleman off, he accidentally says Miracleman's name, which is the magic word that triggers his transformation. Turns out Johnny hasn't lost his powers and is also completely corrupted and evil. Back as Mike, he and Liz go to meet Johnny. Next day he is called up by Johnny Bates who was Kid Miracleman, now the owner of a large multinational company. He returns to his/Mikes wife Liz and after filling her in on his rather silly history they sleep together. He says the word "Kimota" and turns into the superhuman Miracleman. After being taken hostage by terrorists while covering a protest at a nuclear plant he sees the word "Atomic" backwards through a window. The story so far: It's the early 80's, shabby middle aged bloke Mike Moran has been haunted by dreams of flying towards a grey shape that explodes and consumes him in fire. "Out of the dark he is coming." - Narration
