Golden Age History

Diana Adams was the heroine known as Miss Masque, a young socialite who decides to fight crime and injustice in disguise. Originally, Miss Masque had no super powers but relied on her wit and a pair of revolvers.

Disappearance

During the Second World War, she was lured to the Fighting Yank's side by a distress signal from his servant, Markham, she was tricked and imprisoned in the Urn of Pandora by a misguided Fighting Yank.
