Book One Chapter 3
Mike returns home to Liz as Miracleman. Though initially freaked out by the appearance of this strange being, Liz quickly realises it is her husband. As he recounts to Liz his history & origin, about the Astro Physicist called Guntag Borghelm who bestows him his powers, about Young Miracleman & Kid Miracleman, about their exploits against their foes such as Young Nastyman, Firebug & Dr. Gargunza, his story sounds absurd to Liz.

Book One Chapter 4: "When Johnny Comes Marching Home..."
Mike finds out that Johnny Bates is alive when Johnny calls him up. Together with Liz, Mike goes to meet Johnny at his business HQ. When Mike finds it hard to believe Johnny's story about how he'd lost his (Johnny's) powers & survived, Johnny makes his play & it becomes clear that he is still Kid Miracleman.
