Darkseid's Granddaughter Has Become His Perfect Successor

Warning: contains spoilers for Mister Miracle: The Source of Freedom #3!

The granddaughter Darkseid never knew he had has become his perfect successor! In Mister Miracle: The Source of Freedom #3, on sale now in print and digital, Mister Miracle has been fighting the mysterious N'Vir, who claims to be the daughter of Scott Free and Barda. But when the curtain is pulled back and N'Vir's past is laid bare, readers meet a despot who would make her biological grandfather proud.

There have been three different Mister Miracles through the years: the first was Thaddeus Brown, who passed his act to Scott Free, who in turn trained Shiloh Norman. Scott Free is the best-known Mister Miracle, but he and his wife Barda have been somehow erased from history. No one, not even Shiloh, has any recollection they existed. Enter N'Vir, a mysterious warrior who attacks Shiloh, claiming he is disrespecting her father's legacy. Confused, Shiloh fights back, and in issue three of his new miniseries, he learns the horrifying truth of his new foe. The issue is written by Brandon Easton, with art by Fico Ossio, colors by Rico Renzi and letters by Rob Leigh.

Mister Miracle manages to overpower N'Vir and uses his Mother Box to hack into N'Vir's computer system, learning the truth of his attacker. She is indeed the daughter of Scott Free and Barda from another timeline, and she is also a galactic tyrant. Mister Miracle learns that in her timeline, N'Vir went on a quest for every Mother Box, which she then used to bolster her empire, called the Free Galactic Imperium. This regime is built on surveillance, where every action of every citizen is recorded. In her native timeline, insurgents wearing the colors of Mister Miracle overthrew N'Vir's empire. Readers learn that N'Vir has come to DC's main timeline to start the Imperium ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, as Mister Miracle hacks into her computer, she hacks into his, and uses this to completely overpower him, leaving him naked and stranded in the middle of nowhere.

Despite her heroic parents, N'Vir has far more in common with her grandfather Darkseid. Darkseid has long sought the extermination of free-will throughout the cosmos, and N'Vir has come close to achieving that. Her Free Galactic Imperium monitors its citizens in every facet of their lives - a level of control Darkseid would be proud of. N'Vir also has her grandfather's ruthless streak, shown when she totally dominates Mister Miracle, stripping him of his uniform and leaving him in the wilderness. A lingering question is what happened to Scott Free - who erased him and Barda from existence, and how does it relate to N'Vir's utter failure to live up to her heroic parents' legacy?

Fans must wait until next month to see how Mister Miracle escapes the utter defeat handed to him by N'Vir. The critically acclaimed Mister Miracle - from Tom King and Mitch Gerads - saw Darkseid attempt to seize his grandchild from Mister Miracle and Barda, intending to raise a new despot in his image, but Mister Miracle: The Source of Freedom #3 reveals N'Vir as the true heir to the ruler of Apokolips, even if that's not how she'd ever see herself. Hopefully, Shiloh can defeat Darkseid's granddaughter as the series continues and honor Mister Miracle's true legacy - even if Scott Free technically no longer exists.
