Liberty Belle is the name of two fictional Superheroes . DC COMICS The first Liberty Belle was Libby Lawrence-Chambers, whose Wartime adventures were published in DC's ' '' All-Star Squadron ''. Her powers of enhanced speed, strength, and stamina were linked to the ringing of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia ; thus, she had an assistant in that city who would, when signaled, ring the bell for her. After the war, she married speedster Johnny Quick . They had a daughter who shared both their powers, who took the codename Jesse Quick . In 2000 , Liberty Belle was referenced in an episode of Powerpuff Girls , when the character Blossom adopted the name as an Alias after reading a comic book about a superheroine similar to Wonder Woman named ''Freedom Gal''. This wasn't necessarily a conscious reference to the pre-existing comics character. In '' JSA '' #81, following the destruction of the Freedom Fighters , Belle felt an increased need for power and attempted to increase her power levels by repeatedly ringing the Liberty Bell. For unknown reasons this did not work, and Belle was trapped on the bell, which was producing massive damage via sonic waves. She was saved by Stargirl . It is unclear how her powers were affected. CHARLTON COMICS A backup feature in Charlton 's '' E-Man '' #5 (Nov. 1974 ), Caroline Dean was a red-white-and-blue heroine who helped out on an American rocket launch. Joe Gill scripted, with industry legend Steve Ditko supplying the art. |
