Known Background: Captain Miracle first appearred on the morning of 7 December, 1941 at Pearl Harbor, Hawai'i. It is believed that the damage wrought by the Japanese fleet would have been far worse if not for his arrival. He continued to fight for America and the Allies throughout the war. Having issues with bombing civilians, he was believed to be killed by the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. He reappeared nearly five years later, and was a charter member of the Legion of Champions. There were two times, during the Cuban Missile Crisis and Nixon's trip to China, when, again, he was believed to be killed, only to reappear a few years later.
He is rumored to be one of the instigators in the break-up of the Legion of Champions, and he was apparently retired for several years. However, when the modern age of heroes was beginning, Captain Miracle was once again active, this time acting as the elder statesman for the Windy City Warriors in Chicago. This was ended when Professor Mercury attempted nuclear blackmail on the city of Chicago. While removing the nuclear device into space, Captain Miracle was apparently lost again. | |
But, shortly after the Hawk formed, Captain Miracle once again returned, and joined the Chicago superteam, declining joining the Champions of Justice. Captain Miracle remained with the Hawk, acting as the bulwark for the team throughout many incarnations. When the Hawk was annexed into the Champions of Justice, the Captain still declined full membership. He has been seen less often recently, most often in the company of his old Legion teammates Doctor Radio and Amazon Grace. Personality: Captain Miracle is a shy man with a powerful personality. He is fair and decent and has a sense of right and wrong that is both old-fashioned, but somehow welcomed. While not a skilled leader or speaker, he often finds people following his lead. The Hawk's first leader, Midnight Cross held the Captain up as something to aspire to, though his later teammates resented him. The Captain often seems self-effacing; as if feeling unworthy of the faith people put in him. Powers/Tactics: Captain Miracle is the archetypal flying strongman. He fights using his strength, his speed, and his ability to fly, and he's very good at it. The upper limits of his strength are unknown; usually any time anyone works up an estimate, something happens and the Captain will exceed it. He is functionally invulnerable; it is believed that a powerful enough explosion ought to be able to kill him, yet he's returned from four different nuclear blasts. He has been observed wielding a large two-handed sword, and projecting some kind of power energy blast from his hands. These abilities/tools have only been seen occasionally, and only in times of great danger. | |
Captain Miracle was created, designed, and is played by Ken Hallaron, or maybe Jim Caswell.
