Madeline Joyce, Marvel’s original Miss America of the Golden Age, first appeared in 1943’s MARVEL MYSTERY COMICS #49, then met a new modern audience 31 years later in GIANT-SIZE AVENGERS #1. Gaining super strength and the ability to fly after being struck by lightning, Frank went from heiress to heroine at the height of World War II, serving on both the Liberty Legion and All-Winners Squad. She retired from heroics after marrying teammate The Whizzer, but later died tragically due to radiation exposure during childbirth.When the Liberteens—a new incarnation of the Liberty Legion—formed in AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE ANNUAL #1, the group counted a young Miss America among their ranks, though she has rarely appeared since.“A new icon for the 21st Century,” touts Casey. “A new vision of American female empowerment. She took the name of a Golden Age heroine and reclaimed it in the name of ego and indestructibility. One day, she might be the greatest hero of her age.”
Fuck you, Marvel. God-FUCKING-damn you.
Is the new version a POC? More women of color is welcome, but eh on that awful design and the “empowerment” thing.
What the hell? Who the fuck designed this outfit? I am so fucking sick of belly shirts and thongs.
