Oakland police identify 14-year-old boy as suspect in sexual assaults,
robberies

Remember when Kid Miracle Man went insane after Miracle Man disappeared from
his life? Without his father figure and moral compass, Kid went on a
decade-long raping rampage because he was far more powerful than anyone else
on the planet and felt that nobody could touch him. This wasn't exactly
Smallville if you have ever read the issues.

Oakland is across the water from San Francisco and although there is a large
African-American population and 100+ homicides per year, I cannot believe at
how sadistic people could be. Couple of years ago, two black guys punched
an elderly Asian man on the sidewalk for no apparent reasons and killed him
on the spot. Two young children have been killed by drive-by shooters in
the past few months. I can't imagine a 14-year-old committing such
atrocities at his age.

It was truly the most disturbing story that I have ever read read in
American comics and truth is scarier than fiction.

It was a British comic originally; the U.S. edition was reprints.

Same thing, with the title changed so Marvel wouldn't sue.

I thought it was cancelled in England and Eclipse paid them to produce new
contents.

Eclipse published reprints under the name Miracle Man and then new
material.
