She had a blue cape, blue belt, and a red, white, and blue shield symbol on her chest (similar to Captain America's steel shield). She also wore a sort of partial red cap on her head. Background: One night during the early 1940's, Madeline Joyce, niece of a millionaire who was financing unknown electrical experiments in a converted lighthouse on the Eastern coast, visited that lighthouse in the middle of a large, violent thunderstorm. While inside, she was caught in an electrical discharge form the equipment that was caused by the outside storm. Instead of being instantly killed, Joyce miraculously survived the charge, but lay in a coma for a week afterwards. She recovered and found out that the jolt of electricity had somehow released her latent mutant ability to negate gravity and thereby fly as well as somehow increasing her physical vitality. She decided to join the homefront effort of WWII and fight for liberty and justice. She put together a costume and dubbed herself Miss America. Miss America had gained limited fame in the United States as a spy-smasher when she met fellow hero Robert Frank, the Whizzer, while battling a Nazi spy ring that had hijacked a railroad in New York. They were working together on that case when Captain America's sidekick Bucky Barnes called on them to join the Liberty Legion and help the Invaders out of a tough situation. They became members of the Liberty Legion and the Invaders and, after the war, joined the All-Winners Squad. Powers: Flight (see note), x-ray vision, the "strength of a thousand men," and the "wisdom of the ages." Flight note: Madeline Joyce has the ability to psionically negate the effect of gravity around her persons allowing herself to float into the air. In coordination with planned jumps, she could simulate the power of flight.
