Ms. Victory

Miss Victory is most-famed as being a central member of FemForce, a team of all-female superheroes published by AC Comics in the 80s . It all started in 1941, when we asked Joan (a Washington DC secretary) to be part of a research team. She was the assistant of Dr. Mark Benton at the Colorado Project. The objective sought by the team, under the governance of president Franklin D. Roosevelt, was to find a way to improve human abilities. They were asked to create the perfect soldier. The research progressed well until the moment when Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese military, December 7. The war was truly present for the Americans and Roosevelt wanted to find a way to win. Dr. Benton had created a chemical compound, the V-45. With this experimental vitamin they hoped to produce a "fighting" machine with accelerated cellular regeneration. Eager to have concret results, the president asked Dr. Benton to make test directly on humans. This request was out of his personal values and he refused to proceed. He was then replaced by Joan Wayne at the head of the project. Her assistant was Octavia Howard.
