Fictional character biography

Oberon is orphaned as a child after his family is killed in a fire. He later works at a circus under an abusive ringmaster before meeting Thaddeus Brown, the first Mister Miracle, and becoming his assistant. After an Intergang operative kills Brown, Oberon works with his successor, the New God Scott Free. [2] Oberon agrees to become Free's partner and manager and plans his performances.

When Mister Miracle becomes a member of the Justice League International, Oberon becomes the right-hand man of Maxwell Lord. Shilo Norman, Scott Free's successor, encounters Oberon's alleged daughter, who claims Oberon abandoned her mother back during his carnival days. [3] Oberon, Barda and Scott all attend Green Arrow and Black Canary's wedding. [4]

The majority of the New Gods are killed by Infinity-Man during the Death of the New Gods storyline, with Mister Miracle and Barda being among Infinity-Man's victims. [5] [6] After Mister Miracle's death and before his resurrection, Oberon works with the Meta-Movers, a professional wrecking crew. [7]

In Mister Miracle (vol. 4), Miracle discovers that Oberon died from cancer some time prior. [8]
