12. Miss Raya

Only a couple of years after the debut of the first super heroes in comic books, America found itself with its first real-life superhero– the incredible Miss Raya!

America’s Super-Sweetheart helped turn the tide in the Second World War, thanks to her super strength, invulnerability, and atomic-powered lights that were as deadly as they were dazzling. More so, though, her presence meant an unprecendented boost to the morale of allied troops.

All of her accomplishments could not be overshadowed by her terrible fate at the hands of mysterious snipers, as she joined the troops as they marched into Berlin.
