    This article is about the second Mirror Master, Evan McCulloch. For the original and current Mirror Master, see Sam Scudder.

    Origin

    Born in Scotland, Evan McCulloch was raised in a Kirkcaldy orphanage. Though he was generally happy in the orphanage, he murdered a fellow orphan when he was eight after the boy tried to sexually assault him. At sixteen he ran away to Glasgow, slowly becoming involved in crime. He became a hitman, and was assigned two jobs in London. Only after he killed the second target did he realize the man was his father. His mother committed suicide, and McCulloch was nearly driven to give himself up. Instead, he was approached by the American government, who hired him as a mercenary and kitted him out with the recently deceased Mirror Master's equipment. He betrayed the government agents shortly thereafter, and took up a life of crime.

    Creation

    Evan McCulloch was created by Grant Morrison and Charles Truog. His first appearance was in Animal Man #8.
