Miss America

Golden Age Origin
Joan Dale, a reporter, took a ferry to visit the Statue of Liberty and fell asleep on a bench. Before she dozed off, Joan thought about the good a person could do if only "they had the powers that the Statue of Liberty must possess". She then had a dream where the statue came to life. It told Joan that it would give her magic powers to help America because it heard her wish. After she awoke, Joan discovered it was more than just a dream and that she truly had magic powers. She then made a costume and became Miss America. Her powers included the ability to control, create, and change matter. Also she could also fire energy bolts from her hands and shrink herself.
