Breaking Down the Hall of Justice Mural in Superman, Part 6: Miss Liberty / Bess Lynn

Created by Ed Herron and Fred Ray, Bess Lynn was a patriot and frontier nurse during the American Revolutionary War who adopted a masked identity to fight the British. Wearing a black mask, wig, and the colors of the American flag, she became Miss Liberty — a symbol of defiance who fought both on the battlefield and behind the lines. She also organized a women’s underground network to aid the cause.

Like Jon Valor, she was recruited by Epoch into the Five Warriors from Forever, manipulated into battling the Justice League and Justice Society, then returned to her time. Her heroism ended tragically when she died defending what would become the Liberty Bell from enemy troops — crushed beneath it in the struggle. Her legacy lived on through her descendants: Libby Lawrence (Liberty Belle), who also appears on the mural, and Jesse Chambers (Liberty Belle II/Jesse Quick), who inherited her powers from a fragment of the bell.

Group Affiliations: Five Warriors from Forever

Speculation: The Five Warriors’ time-travel adventures would fit perfectly into a Booster Gold series, and her familial ties to Liberty Belle (also depicted in the mural) could be a connection to an All-Star Squadron project.

First Appearance: Tomahawk (1950) #81
