Shane Aceto


 * "It's hero time!"
 * ―Miracle-Man

Shane Aceto is a former soldier, a founding member of the Champions, and the first miracle superhero. While serving in the United States Army, Aceto was involved in a combat incident which saw his superpowers manifest. As a result, the military enlisted the help of Henry Hudson and his company, as he was a leading authority on genetics and mutation. Aceto was ultimately provided with a specialised suit and various weapons to help him in the field. Eventually, he decided to leave the military and came into conflict with Aidon Caliban and Maxwell Augustus before deciding to work independently with Hudson. This garnered a lot of worldwide attention, as Aceto was the first miracle to use his abilities in order to become a public superhero, turning him into the adored celebrity known as Miracle-Man.

Over the next eight years, Miracle-Man continued his crusade with the aid of Hudson. When a disgruntled Hudson Industries employee used the Emerald Gem to power a device capable of destroying Mondo City, Aceto assisted in the recruitment of the Champions. Joining the team, Miracle-Man played a key role in the Attack on Mondo City, successfully acquiring the Leviathan Gem and stopping the invasion of monsters.

Military Service
Shane Aceto was born on Friday, December 1, 1995. At the age of seventeen, Aceto joined the United States Army where he served as a soldier until his miracle powers manifested during a combat incident. As a result, the government realised his potential and decided to use him for special black-ops missions. Dr. Henry Hudson and his company were tasked with providing Aceto with special equipment and tools. For months, he was unaware of Hudson's role as his supplier and he continued to serve with the army as rumours about the super soldier began to spread across the country.

Conflict with Hades
A few years into his career as 'Miracle-Man', Acteo soon found himself going up against other superpowered individuals. While often praised, Aceto and his motives were also questioned and met with criticism, as the world was "not ready" to welcome miracles with open arms. Eventually, Miracle-Man soon found himself deadlocked in constant feud with miracle Aidon Caliban, who went by the alias of Hades. After preventing Caliban from causing numerous blackouts across the United States, Aceto followed him to Mondo City and finally apprehended his opponent.

The Champions Initiative
Following the arrest of Maxwell Augustus, Aceto decided to leave the military and work independently with Henry Hudson. Over the next eight years, Aceto continued his crusade and aided Hudson in secretly observing numerous miracles living in or near Mondo City, though he was oblivious to Hudson's true objective. Despite the extensive list of potential candidates, it seemed no progress had been made with the project, and the Champions Initiative was subsequently shut down.
