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.{{cite web |last1=Dayton |first1=Deejay |title=DC Comics History: Tex Thompson/Mr. America/Americommando |url=http://www.comicbookbin.com/Tex_Thompson_Mr_America_Americommando002.html |website=ComicBookBin |access-date=22 April 2020 |date=April 25, 2015}} She wore no costume, and her sole disguise consisted of a pair of dark sunglasses.{{cite web |last1=Markstein |first1=Don |website=Don Markstein's Toonopedia |access-date=2 April 2020 |url=http://www.toonopedia.com/miss-x.htm |title=Miss X}} 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).
