Biography
Origin
Evan McCulloch
He was left at the doorsteps at the orphanage in Kirkcaldy where he was wrapped in a blanket with a picture of his parents slipped inside of it. Miss McCulloch was the one who found him at the door where she took in the young child and raised him just as she did so with the other children. (The Flash v2 #212)
When he was 16 years old, he left Kirkcaldy where he took the picture of his parents and the McCulloch family name. He then made his way to Glasgow where he spent a year getting to grips with the realities of life. (The Flash v2 #212)
McCulloch was then hired for the task of eliminating Animal Man where he attacked Buddy Baker at his home. (Animal Man v1 #8)
He later joined the criminal Network of the Blacksmith where he was part of a new incarnation of the Rogues. (The Flash v2 #183) Mirror Master was involved in the plot to frame the Pied Piper where he posted as Rathaway and killed his parents with this act being recorded by security cameras. Afterwards, he was responsible for capturing Piper and hypnotising him to make Hartley believe he had killed his own parents. (The Flash v2 #189) They intended to take over the city by trapping it behind the Reflection and also using this opportunity to attack the Flash. Their attack saw Murmur infect the speedster with the Frenzy virus but their onslaught came at a time when the Thinker was making his own plan for the city. (The Flash v2 #185)
He along with Trickster and Weather Wizard managed to escape being captured where they fled the scene. Attempting to regroup, they were found by Captain Cold who came to reclaim leadership of the Rogues as the three rallied under his leadership. (The Flash v2 #188)
Overview
Personality and attributes
Upon becoming a costumed supervillain he began to operate under the name of Mirror Master. (Animal Man v1 #8)
Powers and abilities
He had created a number of gadgets and equipment that included:
- The Reflection : a device that was linked to open mirrors placed at key antennae's whereby it could generate a dome that encompassed a city. Anyone within the vicinity that attempted to leave the dome were simply 'reflected' back in thus trapping everyone inside. Those that passed the 'mirror reflection' returned with a false set of memories courtesy of mirror hypnotism that made them believe that they had left the area and returned. Similarly, any communication received a seemingly real automatic reply with this being produced by silver liquid tech. Thus, a city with a Reflection was cut off from the wider world without anyone both in and out aware of this fact. (The Flash v2 #185)
