Fictional character biography

Miss X aided Tex Thompson and Bob Daley after the third member of their team, Gargantua T. Potts, left to become a cook in the French Army.[2] She wore no costume, and her sole disguise consisted of a pair of dark sunglasses.[3] Tex was intrigued and obsessed with finding out who the mysterious Miss X was. In the final panel of Action Comics #29, he confided to his partner that he thought he had figured out who she was.

In Action Comics #33, Thompson was declared dead. This turned out to be a ruse, and Thompson returned as Mister America. Miss X made her final appearance in Action Comics #43 (Dec. 1941).

gollark: Hmm, "bee apioform", all the cheap disks are SMR nowadays.
gollark: There's *one* Toshiba drive model which they actually have enough data for to draw reasonable conclusions from.
