The events of Miracleman were perhaps more shocking than the similar genre deconstruction in Watchmen. The ensuing events of the book would take a dramatically realistic look at how a superhero would truly change society, and the deeper thematic matter was matched with more explicit violence, gore and sexuality. Having long ago forgotten the magical word that transformed him into Marvelman, Moran turns into the hero again after a terrorist incident jogs his memory. Marvelman's new adventures took the character on a darker, far more mature path, with the youthful Micky Moran now the middle-aged Michael. However, this all changed when Alan Moore and Gary Leach got their hands on the character in the anthology comic book Warrior in 1982.
The character’s adventures were the typical cheeky pap of the Silver Age, with the powerful Marvelman family constantly defeating the machinations of the evil Dr. Miracleman - who was originally known as Marvelman - was created by Mick Anglo in 19954's Marvelman #25, a series that was transitioning from featuring reprints of the American comic book hero Captain Marvel - now known as Shazam! - into featuring new stories with very similar original characters.
