Miss X is a character in the DC Comics universe. She first appeared in Action Comics #26 (May 1940), in the feature " Tex Thompson". Although her secret identity was never expressly revealed, the reader was led to believe it was Margaret Janice Peggy Maloney, the daughter of District Attorney Maloney. [1]
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).
