IB: I assume you meant Bonnie Baxter instead of Corky Baxter since he's her brother. Also, who's June Walton?
Oh yes, I meant Bonnie. And June Walton is indeed one of the Sea Devils

Oh yeah - the Sea Devils! The only one of them whose name I ever remember is Dane Dorrance. I've always wanted to read more of their adventures though. I love Russ Heath's art and I think he worked on that book. I'd kill for an Omnibus.

Well done guys! Beautiful Dreamer and Dumb Bunny were the last two characters correctly guessed and since TL got the final one, the next question goes to him.
I always love looking back at past DC events or covers that celebrate the company's top characters and seeing which ones have stayed popular to today and which ones have fallen by the wayside.

Yes it was! Was that never changed? I remember she got transmutation powers at some point. But in the original she fell asleep on a bench, after wishing the statue of liberty would give her magical powers. Typical. When I pass out in random locations, I'm just picked up by the cops. Over to you Ibby!

I guess you don't embody liberty enough...  In the Golden Age elseworlds mini, who killed poor Miss America?

I think modern version have her being some sort of government experiment, with the Statue of Liberty thing as an implanted memory or hallucination or something.

I guess you don't embody liberty enough... I seemed pretty liberated from what I remember of events leading up to me falling over in random locations. "Give me your hungry, your tired your poor I'll p!ss on 'em that's what the Statue of Bigotry says Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death and get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard" - Lou Reed, Dirty Boulevard. I think modern version have her being some sort of government experiment, with the Statue of Liberty thing as an implanted memory or hallucination or something.
I think I've got that one. I think it might have been an issue of Secret Origins. Were they not trying to replace Wonder Woman with Miss America following Crisis? In the Golden Age elseworlds mini, who killed poor Miss America? That would have been Robotman with a stretchy arm of steel.

Indeed it was! The Golden Age Robotman anyway, not the Doom Patrol one.

Kevin Matchstick, of Mage comics, is connected to which legendary figure?

Very good guess. The answer is connected closely to that.

Also connected very closely to that. The title is a little deceptive.
