Plot Summaries for Issues 3-6
Based In Part On the Notes of Thomas Deja

  1. Miracleman leads his new allies, Firedrake and Big Ben, to Brixton, in search of the fourth Miracle. There they find Evelyn Creme, an overweight solicitor with an addiction to cheap candies. Creme is a tinkerer, finding pleasure in repairing odd little machines that her co-workers bring to her. Lurking within Creme is the spirit of a mechanical savant called the Warpsmith. In the comics from which the Warpsmith was birthed, he was an alien ally to Miracleman. By convincing Creme to utter her activation phrase, 'To the Stars', the Warpsmith emerges and displays his amazing abilities that are granted by his Warpsmith suit. The uniform allows him to open up Warps of varying sizes that can transport people and things over incredible distances. His new powers are immediately tested as another agent of the team's mysterious foe arrives in hopes of slaying them. Meanwhile, a woman named Winter -- wife to the team's enemy -- has a strange sense of disassociation from reality. She dreams of being married to someone so much like her husband... but so much more, as well. Her husband returns home to find her naked in the living room, her lips whispering nonsense words over and over... She has something she knows she must say, but cannot remember it exactly. Her husband puts her to bed and knows that his time is running short.

  2. The mysterious enemy arrives first this time, beating the Miracles to the scene of a robbery. When a couple of intoxicated trolls burst into a small cafe, Marie Foulcar -- rescued by Big Ben in the first issue -- finds herself put into danger for the second time in a week. This time, however, she finds strange memories springing forth into her mind. Before she can utter her own word, however, the mysterious stranger shoots and kills both trolls. He puts a gun to Marie's head and apologizes... but he cannot allow her to live. Meanwhile, the Miracles have found themselves a headquarters, much to the relief of Big Ben. The group is currently acting out of a large flat in London, on loan to the group from Betsy Braddock. As the Miracles try to cope with the truth about their existences, Miracleman senses that one of the Miracles is in grave danger. Warpsmith transports them all to the scene, where they see that Marie has activated her true self by uttering an unknown word. As Laser Eraser, she is busy dispatching several trolls who have come onto the scene in search of their fallen friends. An uncanny warrior, she is quickly accepted into the group, though Mystralis (her true identity) is far more bloodthirsty than anyone else in the team.

  3. Miracleman and company track down the last of the Miracles... and find that someone is waiting for them. Michael Moran and his wife Winter are barricaded within their quaint little home, with Michael attempting to make some sort of offering to beings that he refers to as the "Typewriter Gods." Miracleman is astonished to see an older version of himself, with a beautiful wife. Moran tells him the truth -- beginning with his discovery of the battered copies of Warrior magazines in a junk shop near Birmingham (as shown in Pendragons # 25). He was a pawn of the Typewriter Gods -- men who had destroyed his happiness and much of his world by just tapping on their keyboards. He came from a world where so much of his life had been a lie, where he had been forced to kill one of his truest friends. It was a cold, bitter and cynical place... and then, just when he thought nothing could get any worse, he had been consigned to Limbo. He had floated in a gray void with other men and women in gaudy costumes, all of whom had been cast aside in favor of new pawns for the Typewriter Gods to shred. But somehow he had come forth into being here, living with a beautiful woman who the name of his daughter from his own world. When he saw the Warrior magazines, he knew that he was nothing more than a fictional character given new life... and he knew that others like him, like the Miracles, might have come into being, too. But then there were the reports of Miracleman's 'return'.... He tracked all appearances by this other Michael Moran and he came to realize that the other Miracleman came from the comic books of the 1950s and sixties: the bright, shiny world that a scientist named Gaurganza had once fashioned out of whole cloth. "Miracleman" was the very figure that "Mike Moran" had dreamt of being, when he'd been held comatose in Gaurganza's lair in his own world. (In other words, "Miracleman" is the figure from the old Marvelman comics; "Mike Moran" is the figure from the Alan Moore/Neil Gaiman reboot from the 1980s).  As the truth unfolds, Winter Moran remembers the word that has haunted her these past few days... the same word as the one her husband refuses to say. It is Kimota, and with its speaking, she is transformed into a vision of godly beauty and grace. She is Miraclewoman and she looks into the eyes of Miracleman... and knows her true place. As he sees his wife go into the arms of his younger, more innocent self, Mike Moran says the word of power.

  4. Mike Moran, now transformed into a being calling himself Dark Miracleman, enters into battle with the Miracles. The battle is difficult not only from a physical standpoint, but also because the two Miraclemans are reflections of each other -- and Winter is now forced to choose one over the other. The knowledge that he cannot compete with his more "pure" self drives Mike Moran over the edge. He fights savagely, nearly destroying Warpsmith's uniform, badly wounding Firedrake and killing Laser Eraser. In the end, he flies into London and sets the city aflame, declaring his intention to destroy this world that can never be his. Miracleman, accompanied by this woman who seems so right... so perfect... so made for him... confronts his evil doppleganger. While the other Miracles work to limit the damage, the two Miracleman clash in a violent expression of conflicting eras. One represents the stylistic choices of the Fifties and Sixties, representing trust in authority and the belief that might does make right... The other is a product of 1980s Britain, with anarchy in its heart and distrust for government on its tongue. The two men are inside a large factory when it explodes, showering much of the area in burning shrapnel. Firedrake silences the flames and in the soot and darkness, only figure remains... It is Miracleman, with no sign of his doppelganger. In the aftermath, there are still five Miracles left: Miracleman, Miraclewoman, Big Ben, Firedrake and Warpsmith. Though they do not know what the future holds, they know that only they truly understand how special their existences are. They were created to inspire and protect, flights of fancy meant only to live through the magic of paper and pencil. But they are real... and they shall defend England to the best of their abilities.
