“I‘m a loser who women don’t like anymore so I have to place personal ads and waste my time here. Remember?”
Steve (Big M) Mirande June 10, 2000
This is the incomparable Steve (Big M) Mirande. Born
in the Bronx on January 25, 1962 to Josephine and Robert
Mirande, Steve has grown into a MANLY MAN who likes
to live life on the edge. The above pho-to, taken during
the filming of the First Telethon for the Benefit of the
Boat People, epitomizes what exactly the spirit of
Steve is. Known by his friends to always be asking
the unanswerable question, "What," Steve has boldly gone
into the abyss and beyond. Where
exactly that is, is uncertain. Suffice it to say if we were
to find out, Steve would invariably go someplace else.
Not easily understood, Steve has always maintained an
aloofness that few other members of the Doom Patrol could
understand, or penetrate. Our not understanding Steve is
understandable it itself for the simple reason that Steve
does not wish to be understood. If he did, all the
universe would surely tremble and we would all probably
DIE. Being a master of pho-tographic skills, Steve
(otherwise known as Rusty
Steve) has often captured on film images unseeable to
the human eye, or more precisely the inner eye that
we all seek to attain.
Come back for the further expanding history of the
man-god Steve, if you dare...
And a million voices as one shouted, "We all love you
Steve!!!"
