Their civilian identities were "borrowed" from someone else?

That's it. Black Condor took over Sen. Thomas Wright's identity and Wonder Woman took over Diana Prince's identity. Presumable taking over a senator's identity would be more difficult today.

There are conflicting stories. One has WW just adopting the identity. Another has her buying Diana Prince's id papers so Diana can go to Argentina to be with her fiance.

I think there's at least one story where the real Diana Prince comes back and wants her identity back!
I've always been fascinated by Black Condor's secret identity, because it seems to set up a lot of interesting story potential.

Timid radio engineer and inventor Fred Carson received super-powers from a ring given to him by Tibetan monk. Pretty standard fare for a Golden Age character's origin, but why is he significant in the history of comics?

He was the only character to ever have received powers from a predominately non white country who was actually non white?

Well Fred Carson was the first comic book character written by Jack Kirby! Nope! And while I believe he may have been the first character written by another famous comic creator, that's not the fact that I'm looking for.

He was subject of a law suit from All-American over similarities to the Alan Scott version of Green Lantern?

He would have been the first gay character if the law suit about promoting certain lifestyles was not successful
