After a bloody war between the New Gods of New Genesis and Apokolips, the planets' leaders came to an uneasy truce. Highfather exchanged his son with Darkseid's son, Orion. Highfather's son was brought up on Apokolips by Granny Goodness, a sadistic follower of Darkseid. She named the baby Scott Free out of mockery. Despite years of abuse, he retained his innocence and indomitable will. As Free grew into adulthood, he nurtured his natural talent for the escape arts and ran away from Goodness.
Free's goal of freedom was furthered by Himon, a New God who stays out of the age old conflict but often causes mischief for Darkseid. While on the run, Free fell in love with Big Barda, an elite warrior, and won her over with his good nature. Together, they fled Apokolips and settled on Earth as husband and wife. Free studied under a circus escape artist named Thaddeus Brown and became friends with Brown's assistant and manager, Oberon. Brown performed under the stage name of Mr. Miracle and was amazed with Free's skills. When Brown was murdered, Free took the name and brought the killers to justice.
As a pacifist, he was ready to live a quiet life and settle down with Barda but her desire for adventure often brought him back into the action. They often serve on the Justice League of America. Mr. Miracle and Batman volunteered themselves to make a tandem escape from an elaborate death trap to raise $1 Million for Gotham City's orphans. Months later, Miracle and Barda were attacked by Faceless Hunter and implanted with Starro clones.
