It is neither Plastic Man nor Mr. Terrific.

The Rope appeared in a title published by DC.

Neither The Whip nor Madam Fatal.

The first encounter with the Rope was in a feature that starred another character.

I thought the hints would have given away by now! wink

The villainous Rope was twice captured by what Golden Age hero?

Hints:

1) It is a character originally published by DC.
2) It is not a member of the Justice Society.
3) The first encounter with the Rope was in a feature that starred another character.
4) It is a character who was never a member of the All-Star Squadron.

Not: Plastic Man, Mr. Terrific, Hourman, Jay Garrick, Madam Fatal, The Whi;p, Tarantula, Johnny Quick

That would be it!

The Rope first appeared in Star-Spangled Comics #83, in what would turn out to be the last Golden Age appearance of the Star-Spangled Kid and Stripesy, and would appear again in Star-Spangled Comics #84, in Merry's first solo adventure.

Over to you, Ibby!

Never heard of her! Must have been a rip-off of Boy of 1000 Faces! wink

Really? In possibly Roy Thomas's worst idea ever, she's Brainwave Jr.'s mother!

That's funny! I just read an issue of Infinity Inc. contained in my CoIE Companion Vol.2 that pictures his mom and dad, but she's not shown in costume or referenced to have an alter-ego. That would have been quite serendipitous! sigh

She later turned up alive as a member of "Old Justice" in the Young Justice series, and had a daughter or granddaughter or something that showed up in Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers of Victory series!

It was that appearance in Old Justice which first introduced me to Merry! And, as she's pretty much the only DC Golden Ager NOT in the JSA or All-Star Squad, I just guessed her randomly!

Alas, her descendant died in Morrison's series, right? Man...

Which Justice Leaguer's given name caused him embarrassment when he tried to flirt with an Australian woman?
