* TakeAThirdOption: Upon realizing the Kid Miracleman couldn't be talked down from his rampage, and that the personal forcefield surrounding him couldn't be penetrated by any physical attack, one of the Warpsmiths teleports huge chunks of debris into his skull and chest. The resultant agony was so great that Kid Miracleman was forced to revert to his human form in order to escape the pain. Knowing he was vulnerable and unable to take the risk of Kid Miracleman returning, Miracleman swiftly killed him.

Years later, a civilian who had been a child at the time and on vacation outside London talks about watching the massacre on TV and recalls seeing a glimpse of his best friends corpse as part of a nightmarish human "quilt" Kid Miracleman had mashed together.

* EvilCounterpart: To Miracleman. Mike Moran is a middle-aged out of shape freelance reporter who mostly relies on his wife Liz to make money for their household and is incredibly insecure.

When transformed into Kid Miracleman he becomes a sadistic monster. Miracleman is Mike Moran made perfected, whereas Kid Miracleman is Johnny Bates devolving into a demon.
