In the late spring of 1941 on Liberty Island, reporter Joan Dale had a dream that the Statue of Liberty came to life and granted her the power to alter the nature of matter. She creates a colorful costume and becomes Miss America, one of America's first heroines. In truth, she had been abducted by the top-secret government agency, Project M, and her powers were actually the result of a secret experiment. They believed the experiment to be a failure and had returned her to whence she had been taken, leaving her none the wiser. (Secret Origins v2 #26)
Later that year, the Japanese plotted their attack on Pearl Harbor. Uncle Sam learned of the attack and assembled a group of heroes called the Freedom Fighters to prevent it. The mission was doomed and all but Uncle Sam seemingly perished in the fight. Sam later discovered, however, that three of his allies had survived: Miss America among them. After the mission, she was reclaimed by Project M. (Secret Origins v2 #26)
Joan revealed that she never lost her powers, but used them to create the illusion that she had aged in order to retire and live a normal life with her husband. Now that Derek Trevor had passed away, she lets the illusion slip and resumes her youthful, heroic guise to aid Uncle Sam and his new team. While fighting the impostor Miss America, Joan discovered that she is in fact an android and destroyed her. (Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters v1 #6)
