Who is Miracle Man?

Origin A brilliant illusionist and stage magician, Miracle Man most likely had some mutant abilities. During a performance he spotted the Fantastic Four in the audience and began taunting them about how much greater his powers were then theirs. Enraged, the Thing challenged him but was seemingly weaker than the Miracle Man (who actually hypnotized him to think that he was more powerful). The Miracle Man then used his hypnotism to perform various crimes and "miracles", such as bringing a statue to life. Creation Miracle Man was created as one of the first villains of the Fantastic Four by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby . Character Evolution Initially, Miracle Man's powers were thought to be a result of his ability to use hypnosis, that he could simply make you believe that he had amazing powers. Later on, it appeared that he had acquired actual superpowers that allowed him to mentally control and rearrange matter. These new found powers turned out to be just one of his illusions.
