[6] Like Mike Moran, Dicky Dauntless and Jonathan Bates, Terence Rebbeck was the orphan of RAF personnel and was kidnapped by Doctor Gargunza.
[8] However, Gargunza enjoyed vicariously living the life of a supervillain and - without the oversight of Sir Dennis Archer - his perversions were reflected in Rebbeck being the protagonist of ever-more violent and sexual scenarios.
Following the facility's heavy damage by Miracleman they were left for an uncaring pair of cleaners, who dropped them, causing the double-skull to break off in a final indignity for the hapless Rebbeck.
[13] Big Ben's programming convinced him he was a member of the Bulldog Brigade, a patriotic British superteam that featured the likes of Jack Ketch and Owlwoman.
In the para-reality simulations he also allied with Doc Thunderbolt, and fought the likes of Menace!, the Crimson Finger, the Sponge, Dr. Panic and his Phantom Robot and Phineas Fiske, the creature with the cobalt brain.
[14] When Miracleman and Cream locate the Project Zarathustra bunker, Archer used Big Ben as a last line of defence,[15] telling him the former was actually a Communist supervillain called Major Molotov.
Miracleman is perplexed by the resulting confrontation, instantly recognising his opponent is neither a physical threat or in his right mind, though he eventually bats Big Ben aside out of irritation.
[14] Big Ben is later recovered by Spookshow, believing that the evidence of his creation was merely a ploy by Molotov and that he was able to fight a successful delaying action, oblivious that he is being returned to an asylum rather than collected by his grateful team-mates.
She implants her desired name in her mother's mind, swiftly exhausts her supply of breast milk, moves onto solids in a matter of weeks and even develops teeth.
[25] The concept of Firedrakes was another devised by Moore early in the development of the Warrior universe, and a character bearing that name was planned as a member of Challenger Force.
Firedrakes are genetic mutants that create fire early in many species' development; once the civilisation is established the genes usually become recessive, though occasionally throwbacks continue.
Like Winter while she is pleasant her high intelligence and confident persona can make interacting with her unnerving, especially as Mist's abilities are in great contrast to her stepbrother Glenn.
[32] Following Miracleman's return she immediately realises there must be some truth to what he says, though she reacts with disbelief much of his purported origin - in particular to the existence of the Key Harmonic of the Universe, Dicky Dauntless' name and the idea of a villain called Young Nastyman.
[14] She also develops a growing awareness of the danger Miracleman presents to them after Mike only avoids death at the hands of Evelyn Cream due to the latter deciding to disobey his orders.
[37][38] She largely takes this situation with calm,[19] and even asks Gargunza about his history[39] - though she is stunned when he finally tells her of his aim of implanting his consciousness in the baby's body.
[21] Following Winter's birth Liz's mental wellbeing rapidly unravels both due to her daughter controlling her moods and the ongoing drama Miracleman brings to their lives.
[39] The aliens' body-swapping technology gave Gargunza the means to achieve his dream of immortality, which he gleaned information on while devising the Miracleman Family for Spookshow - being inspired to base them around superheroes after finding an issue of Captain Marvel Adventures.
[9] During his research Gargunza discovered he was too old for a clone body of himself to be made, and that implanting his mind in a grown superhuman would likely lead to their adult personality engulfing his.
[36] While Cream outwardly claims to be interested in the financial and political gains his association with Miracleman can bring, he privately worries he has instead fallen under the superhuman's thrall, and begins suffering portentous nightmares.
The reborn Cream subsequently becomes overseer of The city, a settlement created to deprogram veterans of the intelligence community to adapt to a world where their paranoia and subterfuge is no longer required.
[49] Fearful of nuclear war, the nine-year old Jason keeps a stash of resources (including a spud gun, custard creams, Rothmans cigarettes, issues of Health and Efficiency and oven foil to make an anti-radiation suit) in a tree in Epping Forest.
This unwittingly saved his life from Kid Miracleman; Sharon and Dave were killed but never identified, while Garry was impaled on a church weather vane, a visual that featured prominently in Stanley Kubrick's documentary Veneer.
While Trish tries to coax Johnny into speaking of his mental problems and continues to support him she is unable to prevent the boy from being bullied,[23] something that leads to the return of Kid Miracleman.
After butchering the tormentors, he considers sparing Trish due to the kindness she showed him; however, he ultimately decides this would "make them think" he had gone soft, and punches the top of her head through a wall.
The source of their strength is a complete mastery of body-swapping technology; the Qys maintain a gigantic number of alternate bodies in Underspace, which they can switch between with change-words.
[23] The Qys effectively use Underspace as a wardrobe and have used genetic engineering to create bodies optimised for a wide number of purposes including warfare,[43] espionage[22] and pleasure.
[52] Their impressive empire is opposed by the Qys Imperium; due to the size and power of both by the late 20th century they have been locked in a cold war for eleven thousand of years.
[23] The Warpsmiths' power comes from advanced derma-circuitry (implanted at birth) that allows them to instantaneously transport anything across vast locations;[52] this skill can also be weaponised, either to instantly separate an opponent into pieces[53] or by warping objects into their body to cause lethal injuries.
The false Tenda Dril covers for his lack of warping ability by claiming his derma-circuitry is damaged, but is flushed out during an audience with the Black Warpsmiths and destroyed by Aza Chorn.
[9] Darkly named Miracledog by its creator, this creature was taller than a man and an unthinking, bestial predator, with claws that were sharp enough to decapitate Evelyn Cream without him even realising[47] and teeth strong enough to pulverise a handgun.
