Scott Free and Terry Sloane were marvelous men indeed. Each of them were the pinnacles of human perfection and a match for their worlds' Batmen.
Free was the son of planet New Genesis lord, the Highfather, and was traded with the son of his world's arch-enemy in a peace deal. This led to his being raised in bondage on planet Apokolips, until alongside his future wife Big Barda he rose up against his adoptive father Darkseid. Arriving on Earth-One, he took up a career as a master escape artist and part-time superhero as Mister Miracle. He would be aided by his future wife, the super strong Female Fury known as Big Barda, the counterpart to Earth-Two's Marya aka the Giant Girl who like Barda had super-strength and was a member of a female fighting force, the Holliday Girls.
Sloane was a wealthy genius with superb athletic abilities, bored with life, until he was motivated by future girlfriend Wanda Wilson into adopting a superheroic career as Mister Terrific. This led to his membership in the All-Star Squadron and Justice Society of America of Earth-Two. His most steadfast partner would be girlfriend Wanda Wilson, counterpart to Earth-One's Adeline Wilson who was also like Wanda a capable assistant to a costumed vigilante... in Adeline's case Deathstroke the Terminator aka husband Slade Wilson.
Both Misters were Olympic level athletes, excellence with hand-to-hand defense, and could escape nearly any situation they faced. While Scott eventually found freedom from oppression from Darkseid, Terry perished at the hands of his old foe Roger Romaine after a lengthy costumed career.
Additionally, there were others who had their aliases. Thaddeus Brown, renowned escape artist and Scott's mentor, was the original Mister Miracle. And a lad named Shilo Norman would become Free's apprentice and assume his alter ego years later. Mister Terrific enlisted others to stand in for him and a villain adopted his alias later on.
