Background

History

Megan Duncan is the granddaughter of Maiden Justice and Statesman from the Golden Age and the daughter of Miss Liberty. She has taken up the mantle to fight for freedom, in this specific case to free Paragon City from its infestation of villains. She has heightened strength and endurance as well as the power of the Girdle of Hera, which was passed on to her by her grandmother.

Early in her career Ms. Liberty worked extensively with Statesman, but recently seems to be spending more time working on making certain that new heroes in Paragon City have the information they need, as well as working on the Freedom Corps. It is clear that she is determined to do her energetic best to make the Freedom Corps the premiere hero assistance group in Paragon City someday.

Miscellaneous

• Ms. Liberty's Praetorian Earth counterpart is Dominatrix.
• She is Statesman's sidekick, but she also leads a group of heroes herself. They are called the Vindicators, and the group is composed of Mynx, Valkyrie, Swan, Infernal, Luminary and most recently, Aurora Borealis.[1]
• Miss Liberty, Megan's mother, created the Freedom Corps. Megan created a military division of Freedom Corps called Longbow.[2] More information about Longbow can be found in the August 5, 2005 entry on the City of Villains fiction page.[3]
• The sword Ms. Liberty carries is the fabled Excalibur. Hero 1 entrusted it to her while he journeyed to the Rikti homeworld with the rest of the Omega Team. Although she cannot wield the sword, Ms. Liberty carries it at her side waiting for the day when Hero 1 returns.[4]
• Ms. Liberty wears the Liberty Belt which was passed down to her from her grandmother, Maiden Justice. It is actually the Girdle of Hera which gives the user powers of the goddess. The Furies gave this belt to Maiden Justice as a wedding present. [5]
• In the GameSpy preview that contains Ms. Liberty's background that was published a month and a half before the game's release, her first name is given as "Jessica," and the original Miss Liberty is identified as her grandmother, not her mother. These facts continue to persist in many places on the Internet, but an official correction has been made on the official CoH forums by one of the game designers.[6]
• She is referenced in the description for the Purifier Badge.
