Miss X is a character in theDC Comicsuniverse. She first appeared inAction Comics #26 (May 1940), in the feature "Tex Thompson". Although hersecret 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 aidedTex 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 ofAction Comics #29, he confided to his partner that he thought he had figured out who she was.
InAction Comics #33, Thompson was declared dead. This turned out to be a ruse, and Thompson returned asMister America. Miss X made her final appearance inAction Comics #43 (Dec. 1941).
