Donna Mason
Donna Mason, daughter of Virginia Senator William M. Mason, could have found a life of luxury simply by marrying well. Donna was her father’s daughter, however, with a keen mind and a desire to do some good in the world. She became a secretary working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, assigned to the dashing agent Dan Bradley.
Although she was careful not to upstage her boss, Donna’s keen investigative skills helped Agent Bradley crack many a case. One such involved a cell of fifth columnists in the nation’s capital, where Donna deduced that their target was in fact the Bureau itself. She tried to warn Agent Bradley that he was walking into a trap, but she only succeeded in being shot and left for dead as the spies abducted her boss.
While lying there, close to death, Donna experienced a vision in which the Spirit of Liberty came to her and offered her a choice: save herself or Agent Bradley. She chose another’s life over her own without hesitation and the Spirit of Liberty proclaimed her worthy. Donna awakened healed and filled with newfound power, dressed in the red, white, and blue of Lady Liberty!
Lady Liberty saved Agent Bradley and busted up the spy-ring. She continued to show up from time to time when Dan Bradley was in danger or needed her help—and he never noticed that his whip-smart secretary, Donna, was never around when Lady Liberty was on the scene. The Damsel of Democracy was quick to sign-on with The Liberty League, offering to serve as its first recording secretary, despite being one of its most powerful members. This humility was a hallmark of Lady Liberty’s career.
Lady Liberty remained active after the war for longer than any Leaguer except The Centurion, her lifespan and vitality maintained by her powers. Even her amazing powers eventually faded, though, and with them her heroic career. Donna Mason eventually retired from the hero game, her ultimate fate unknown.
