wikidpedia | Scott Free is the son of Izaya (Highfather), the ruler of New Genesis, and his wife named Avia. As part of a diplomatic move to stop a destructive war against the planet Apokolips, Highfather agreed to an exchange of heirs with the galactic tyrant Darkseid;
the exchange of heirs guaranteed that neither side would attack the
other. Scott traded places with Darkseid's second-born son Orion.[23]
Scott grew up in one of Granny Goodness' "Terror Orphanages" with no knowledge of his own heritage. As he matured, Scott rebelled against the totalitarian ideology of Apokolips. Hating himself for being unable to fit in, he was influenced by Metron to see a future beyond Darkseid. Scott became part of a small band of pupils who were tutored in secret by the rebel Himon,[24] a New Genesian living as a "Hunger Dog" on Apokolips. It was at these meetings that he met fellow pupil Big Barda, who would later become his wife.[25]
Eventually, Scott Free escaped and fled to Earth. His escape, long
anticipated and planned for by Darkseid, nullified the pact between
Darkseid and Highfather and gave Darkseid the excuse he needed to revive
the war with New Genesis. Once on Earth, he became the protégé of a circus escape artist,
Thaddeus Brown, whose stage name was Mister Miracle. Brown was
impressed with Scott's skills (especially as supplemented with various
advanced devices he had taken from his previous home). Scott befriended
Brown's assistant, a dwarf named Oberon. When Thaddeus Brown was
murdered, Scott Free assumed the identity of Mister Miracle.[26]
Barda later followed Scott to Earth, and the two used their powers,
equipment, and skills in the war against Darkseid, who was still
interested in recapturing both of them. Eventually, tired of being
chased on Earth by Darkseid's servants, Scott returned to Apokolips and
won his freedom by legal means, through trial by combat.
Scott Free later became a member of the Justice League International
as did Barda and Oberon, which recast him and Big Barda as semi-retired
super-heroes that sought to live quiet lives in the suburbs when they
were not involved in Justice League-related adventures. In particular,
Scott Free was recast as a hen-pecked husband, who often found himself
on the receiving end of his wife's temper, over her desire to live a
quiet life on Earth.
During his time in the League, Scott developed an intense rivalry with Justice League villain Manga Khan.
The villainous intergalactic trader and black marketer repeatedly
kidnapped Scott, ultimately convincing Scott's conniving former manager
Funky Flashman into forging documents forcing Scott to work for Manga as
his personal entertainer. To force him to go along willingly, Khan
replaced Scott with a lifelike robot who was ultimately murdered by
Despero during his first mission with the Justice League. Scott
ultimately escaped from Manga Khan's clutches and reunited with his wife
and friends, though the shock was enough to cause Scott to ultimately
quit the League and to take on a protégé in the form of Shiloh Norman.
