Veronica became a good friend of Captain Flag, but he never let her live down the fact that she accidentally knocked him out in their first meeting.

Notes[]

A similar looking FBI agent named Linda Reed, working for FBI Director Morrow, was seen helping Captain Flag in Blue Ribbon Comics #20. Linda and the Captain already knew each other well, seeming like she was an old character. No explanation was ever made for the name change (if that's what it was).
