Editing Miracleman (character) (section)

===Original===
Having discovered the keyword to the universe through his experiments, [[Mississippi]]-based astro-scientist Guntag Barghelt travels the world searching for a worthy recipient of this power. After young Micky Moran first attempts to return a [[Dime (United States coin)|dime]] Barghelt dropped and then defends the scientist from a trio of hoodlums, the scientist takes the youth to his laboratory. There further tests reveal Micky has absolute integrity and a well-defined discernment of good and evil, and treats him in his atomic machine. Micky is granted the power to turn into the superpowered Marvelman whenever he speaks the keyword "Kimota". After Marvelman thwarts an attempt by the villainous Herman Schwein to capture Barghelt's notes, the scientist withdraws to an [[asteroid]] in outer space, knowing Marvelman will protect good on Earth.<ref name=MM65>{{cite comic|title=Marvelman|issue=#65|story=The Birth of Marvelman|date=13 November 1954|publisher=[[L. Miller & Son]]|writer=[[Mick Anglo|Anglo, Mick]]|artist=[[Mick Anglo|Anglo, Mick]]}}</ref> Micky works for the ''Daily Bugle'' newspaper as a copyboy and keeps his superhero identity secret from the world while using his power to protect the innocent. To help him fight evil, Marvelman would later call on the scientist again when impressed by the courage of messenger boy Dicky Dauntless, and calls up Barghelt once again. The scientist gives Dicky an elixir that allows him to transform into Young Marvelman, who would become Marvelman's ally in the fight against evil.<ref name=YM64>{{cite comic|title=Young Marvelman|issue=#64|date=6 November 1954|publisher=[[L.
