Synopsis
Mister Miracle continues to cast himself in the role of Messiah. Troubled by such an unpredictable motivational shift, Darkseid tasks Granny Goodness with killing Mister Miracle. To that end, she deploys a Photon Patrol, to Earth, to carry out the execution. In full view of his audience, Mister Miracle is set upon by the Photon Patrol. Only Oberon realizes the attack is not part of Mister Miracle's act. The World's Greatest Escape Artist dispatches his attackers by flying in among high tension wires. The less maneuverable Photon Patrol impacts the wires, and, to a man, are electrocuted. Observing the failure of the Photon Patrol, Darkseid suggests a different tact to Granny Goodness. The attack from Apokolips all but confirms that Mister Miracle has chosen the right path. Celebrating in their hotel room, Mister Miracle reveals to Oberon, Big Barda, and Ted Brown, the techniques he employed to perform his latest death-defying feat. Meanwhile, In Glendale, California, Rex and Ida Hubbard are putting their daughter, Alianna, through her paces. Pride fills Ida's heart at her daughters feats of almost super-human agility. Rex, however, finds his daughter terrifying. Her inscrutable stare. Her total lack of emotion. The Hubbards reflect on the accident that left Alianna, when a child, in a state of near constant agony. Through supreme concentration Alianna learned to master her pain, harnessing an inner strength rarely seen in human beings. Ida sees Alianna becoming the next Wonder Woman.
