First Appearance: Unearthly Spectaculars #2 (Harvey Comics, December 1966)

History: "In a small Midwestern town stands a singularly nondescript old house. The town is remarkable for it's quiet - in fact, for its lack of any sign of human habitation. Perhaps it is the occasional explosion heard in the vicinity, or maybe its the nose cone protruding from the roof... In any case its been a long time since anyone has ventured to ring the doorbell under the sign...Miraces, Inc."

(Unearthly Spectaculars #2, Miracles Inc.) When an intruder manages to easily circumvent their high-tech defense systems and penetrate their base, the members of Miracles, Inc, try to take him down. However he swiftly defeats each of them individually, before confronting the team's leader, The Professor, to explain he has come to join. However he makes the mistake of referring to himself as the "most powerful" person there, which incites the Professor to kick his butt (literally). The Wizard is allowed to join, but he will have to earn his place on the team, starting with doing menial jobs round their base.
