Hippolyta and Diana (as Miss America) go hunting for Armageddon, the leader of the saboteurs. While Hippolyta defeats Armageddon, Diana recovers Poseidon's Trident and disappears. By this time, however, Hippolyta realizes that the woman she fought alongside was not the real Miss America. Either that night or the next night, Hippolyta makes a phone call to the real Miss America (Joan Dale) and confirms her suspicions. After Diana returns to the present, she realizes that her mother must have discovered that she was impersonating the real Miss America. Elseworlds Outside of regular DC Comics continuity, James Robinson and Paul Smith feature Miss America in 1993's The Golden Age. Joan Dale is the girlfriend of Tex Thompson, also known as Mr. America. Later in the story, disturbed by the increasingly moody and abusive actions of her lover, Joan steals Thompson's locked journal and heads to her friend Paula Brooks, the reformed costumed thief once known as the Huntress/Tigress. Paula picks the lock and soon Joan, Paula, and Paula's lover, Lance Gallant, are made aware of the same ugly fact that Paul Kirk has finally remembered: Tex Thompson is really the Ultra-Humanite. The journal, however, holds even worse revelations, prompting Paula to call Johnny Chambers, whom the story has characterized as the one superhero that everyone else came to with their problems. In the story's final chapter, a hasty war council is convened of the few mystery-men who know Thompson's secret, and a plan is made: during the upcoming ceremony in Washington at which all of America's superheroes are supposed to swear their loyalty, another new recruit will be named to Thompson's camp, who will then expose the truth about Thompson before the superhero community and the eyes of the world. To withstand the strength Thompson has at his disposal, the whistle-blower has to be one of the more powerful heroes, and Rex Tyler is elected. Nearly every mystery-man and superhero turns out at the nation's capital for the ceremony, but before things can begin, Joan takes to the podium and exposes Thompson herself. Before she can tell the entire truth, Robotman brutally murders her. In other media Joan Dale appears in Reign of the Supermen, voiced by Jennifer Hale. Here, she is depicted as a President of America.
