Mirror Master (Sam Scudder)
- Main Article: Sam Scudder
Samuel Joseph Scudder was a male human who had been sent to prison for robbery where he worked in a mirror factory. One day he accidentally spilled chemicals on a mirror and found that that mirror captured the image of whatever image it reflected for number of minutes. After being released from prison and further experimentation with his camera mirror he developed a whole arsenal based on lasers and created the identity of the Mirror Master. Mirror Master used his camera mirror to capture pictures of bank tellers, then developed the pictures into 3-D constructs and instructed them to rob their places of employment. Flash was investigating the mysterious robberies where no one knew when or how the money went missing. In his civilian identity of Barry Allen he visited his local bank and saw the usual teller Wilkins heading out, but suspected something was amiss because his hair was parted to the left instead of the right and he was wearing his wedding band on his right hand. He followed Wilkins, who put on a burst of speed, and even after changing to the Flash he had a hard time keeping up. Wilkins went into a strange house that belonged to Mirror Master on the outskirts of town. Mirror Master sent a giant mosquito after Flash, but when the hero approached light speed it broke apart. Flash realized Wilkins and the mosquito were both made of light, so when Mirror Master sent a Minotaur after Flash he defeated it by turning the light out out in the room. With his bag of tricks exhausted Flash easily detained Mirror Master. (The Flash v1 #105)

McCulloch was ready to surrender himself to the authorities when he was caught by U.S. agents who had been impressed with his work.

Labs' particle accelerator exploded, though she was trapped for six years. After learning Carver stole her technology and used it to create Black Hole, McCulloch developed and honed her newfound ability to travel through reflective surfaces and manipulate mirror shards over the years to get revenge.
