| “ | I would have given anything for you father. But now... I can give you only death! | ” |
—Mr. Miracle | ||
Mr. Miracle was the son of Darkseid and one of the most powerful New Gods, a man who could never be trapped in any prison. Ultimately, though, Mr. Miracle was a torn being, wanting his father to show him even a glimmer of value as a son. These feelings of despair came to a head during the Second Apokolips War when Miracle witnessed the humans of Earth 2 valuing family. Despite earning his father's respect and the opportunity to help lead the forces of Apokolips, Miracle realized that he would be nothing more than a possible usurper to the throne and finally chose to escape the shadow of his dark father.

Born to the Highfather of New Genesis, Scot was exchanged with Orion and sent off to Apokolips at the age of seven. Thrown in the slave pits and forgotten, Scot suffered during his first three years experiencing only torture and tears. Accepting Darkseid as his father and rejecting the Highfather, Scot tried to escape from his cell, doing so after a year and then doing so after only two months. Exploring Apokolips and seeing all of it and some of the world beyond, eventually Scot, after not having seen Darkseid for so long, decided to fight against his father. Joining the revolutionaries with Himon and falling in love with Big Barda, Scot's hopes to change his father were crushed by Kanto.
