In post-Zero Hour continuity, John Byrne added significant new details about his parentage, age, and Scott's early years on Earth. Mister Miracle's origin was told by Jack Kirby in New Gods vol. 1 #7 (1971). His adventures have always centered on his struggle to create a life on Earth, despite constant interference from both Apokolips and New Genesis. When first introduced, Scott's origin was a mystery he was a flamboyant orphan, an expatriate from beyond. In several early promotional blurbs, Kirby compared Mister Miracle to Twist, and Scott's mentor Himon was also based on the story's Fagin. Mister Miracle was openly based on the title character of the classic Charles Dickens novel, Oliver Twist.

This title outlasted New Gods and Forever People by over a year, perhaps because its themes ran closer to that of the traditional super-hero. Mister Miracle was the most successful of Jack Kirby's New Gods characters.
