Mirror Master (Scudder)

Character History

Origin

The first Mirror Master, Sam Scudder, used his mirror technology against the Flash, Barry Allen, mainly in the pursuit of small-time robbery. His first weapons were simple illusion-casting devices, but as he refined the technology, he found ways to travel from one mirror to another, trap people inside mirrors, and turn people into living glass. By the end, any reflective surface - a window, a polished piece of metal, even a simple puddle - could be a weapon. Scudder was co-founder of the Rogues with Captain Cold, Heat Wave, Pied Piper, Top and Captain Boomerang.

Crisis on Infinite Earths

Sam Scudder was one of the villains who was assigned to stop Krona during Crisis on Infinite Earths, he worked alongside Icicle and Maaldor. The group ended up finding Krona's lab and were about to destroy his computer to prevent him from helping the Anti-Monitor, however they began to argue among themselves about who would be the one of actually destroy it. During the scuffle it was discovered that Krona had set a trap and an explosion resulted in the deaths of the three villains, which then allowed Krona to succeed.

Blackest Night

Samuel Scudder was reanimated during the events of Blackest Night as a member of the Black Lantern Corps. When the living Rogues (Captain Cold, Heatwave, Trickster, Weather Wizard, and Mirror Master) traveled to Iron Heights prison he was among the team of dead Rogues that attacked them. During the brawl Scudder addressed the new Mirror Master, Evan McCullough, and called him the foreigner who swiped his gear, then asking who was the reflection and who was the real thing. McCullough quickly shattered the mirror that Scudder was hiding in, however he then reappeared in a wall of ice made by Captain Cold. He then began taunting Captain Cold about his leadership skills before appearing alongside Golden Glider, James Jesse the original Trickster, Top, Digger Harkness the original Captain Boomerang, and Rainbow Raider. Scudder continued to focus on attacking McCullough and eventually bulled him through a puddle into the Mirror World. Captain Cold eventually saved McCullough from the Mirror World, Scudder stopped attacking the Rogues after he and the other dead Rogues noticed the cell of Eobard Thawne. Scudder was then frozen inside the prison after Captain Cold used his Cold Grenade.

Sam Scudder came back as the Mirror Master in the New 52. He has a relationship with Lisa Snart, also known as the Golden Glider, who is the sister of Captain Cold.
