HistoryEdit
Origin
Abandoned by his mother when he was only an infant, Shilo Norman's desire to escape was fostered in an abusive orphanage. He eventually ran away and ended up on the streets, where he was informally taken in by Thaddeus Brown, the original Mister Miracle. Brown was later murdered by the mobster Steel Hand, and Norman aided his successor Scott Free in taking over the mantle and avenging Brown's death.
Later, Norman learned that he had an older brother, a policeman named Aaron, and tried to foster a relationship with him. However, this was cut short went a gang member shot Aaron, killing him. Norman was placed in Free's custody, but escaped in an attempt to get revenge. Fortunately, Scott Free and his wife Barda stopped the boy from doing anything too rash.
Last Laugh
Norman went on to study physics and comparative philosophy at NYU, and even had a girlfriend by the name of Fiona Leeway. He also briefly stood in for Scott Free as the third Mister Miracle. Some time later, he put his knowledge of escape artistry to use as the security chief at the Slab, where he was instrumental in helping to stop the Last Laugh riots. Following the riots, he was promoted to warden of the Slab.
Seven Soldiers
Shilo then took his skills public as a celebrity escape artist called Mister Miracle. He gained money and fame, but began to suffer from anxiety. During this period his stunts began to border on the suicidal, culminating in his attempt to escape from an artificially-generated black hole. The attempt failed, and he was traped in Omega the Life Trap.
Within Omega, Shilo was exposed to a fictional version of the real world, where he became involved in the affairs of the New God, now trapped in human bodies in New York. Norman fought against Darkseid and his associates, who had become powerful in the New York underworld. The other New Gods had been trapped as homeless and vagrants. When Norman tried to fight Darkseid, he was exposed to the Anti-Life Equation; however, he survived thanks to Metron. However, Darkseid had Norman beaten, burned, mutilated and castrated.
Trapped within Omega, Shilo was exposed to a multiple false lives, all of them ending in doom and heartbreak. However, Norman's time with the New Gods was enough to strengthen him, letting him talk Omega into letting him go. After seven days, he emerged in New York in the middle of the Sheeda invasion. He immediately made his way to the Dark Side Club, and found out that Darkseid had arranged his entrapment at the request of the Sheeda, in exchange for them giving him the primordial hero Aurakles. Shilo Norman made a deal with Darkseid - his freedom in exchange for Aurakles'. Taking this offer, Darkseid freed Aurakles, put Norman in shackles and shot him. However, Norman's mysterious Motherbox allowed him to survive, climbing out of his own grave three days later. Norman later aided Firestorm against the forces of Apokolips.
Final Crisis
Norman approached Sonny Sumo, hoping to enlist him for the fight against Darkseid. After Darkseid took control of the world, Norman worked with the Super Young Team against his soldiers. However, he was shot by one of the Justifiers.
