Joshua Ayers (Earth-7045)

Joshua Ayers a.k.a. Miracle Man is one of the lesser-known enemies of the Fantastic Four. He was originally a stage magician with megalomaniacal desires, capable of convincing others through hypnosis that he has amazing powers. In subsequent outings, he appears to obtain actual, significant superpowers that allow him to mentally control and rearrange matter, but this turns out to be yet another illusion.

History
to be added

Powers

 * Hypnotic Control: Miracle Man possessed superhuman hypnotic powers which enabled him to influence the minds of large masses of people simultaneously. Apparently, he could telepathically plant his hypnotic illusions in the minds of his victims, for they would "see" the illusions without being told what to see. Miracle Man's hypnotic powers even worked over television, since people watching the movie premiere on television "saw" the monster model come to life as he had intended that the spectators would.

Abilities

 * Gifted Intelligence
 * Stage Magic

Weaknesses

 * Miracle Man's hypnotic powers apparently only worked upon making eye contact. As such blinding him would render him powerless.

Trivia

 * Given the two's powerset and the fact it comes from the same source, Mesmero has taken a liking to Miracle Man, much to the latter's displeasure.
