Synopsis: - James Jesse has sent several FBI agents to retrieve Mirror Master's suit and gadgets. As he imprisons them in the mirror dimension one by one, Mirror Master looks back on his life to this point. He remembers growing up in a Scottish orphanage, under the benevolent care of Miss McColloch - he particularly remembers Georgie, a sexual bully whom he killed. He remembers his early criminal endeavors leading up to life as a mercenary, including the case where he accidentally shot his own father - his mother later committed suicide, so he never met either of them before their deaths, which he caused. He remembers how a government agency then approached him, wanting to hire his services as a mercenary and giving him the weapons used by the original Mirror Master to give him 'cover' as a super-villain. And he remembers his villainous activities, including his recent alliance with the Rogues. He sends the agents back to James Jesse trapped in a mirror and rejoins his Rogues, though not before snorting a few lines of coke as an escape from the real world.
