Liberty Belle

Belle of the Ball….

Libby Belle Lawrence (then Chambers) is a descendant of the American Revolutionary War Heroine, Miss Liberty.   Libby was a champion athlete in high school and won a necklace with a replica of the Liberty Bell on it.     Being part of a military family, Libby was over in Europe with her father when war broke out in World War II.

Major James Lawrence was killed in a Nazi attack, but Libby survived and made it to the English Channel which she swum across in order to flee the rampaging Nazi army.   This escape made her quite the celebrity on the level of Lucky Lindy and his flight.

Libby found herself back in the states as a news commentator and reporter in which she frequently assisted in supporting American action against the Nazis.   This is when she met up with a friend Tom Revere, who gave her another piece of the Liberty Belle to place in her belt.

Now, when the Liberty Belle is rung, Libby gains amazing athletic powers making her a woman who is a complete powerhouse when her system was flooded with adrenaline.   Libby and Tom worked out a signal that allowed Tom to ring the bell when Libby needed it to happen.

Libby was elected as chairwoman to the All-Star Squadron making her the first woman to hold a position that controlled a super-hero organization (timeline wise).   Liberty Belle and Johnny Quick dated and eventually got married at the height of the war.
