Miss X premiered in Action Comics #26 (May 1940). She was the first costumed heroine in DC Comics, her costume consisted only of a pair of dark glasses. Although her secret identity was never expressly revealed the reader was led to believe it was Margaret Janice Peggy Maloney the daughter of District Attorney Maloney.

Miss X aided Tex Thompson and Bob Daley after the third member of their team Gargantua T. Potts left to become a cook in the French Army. Tex was intrigued and obsessed with finding out who the mysterious Miss X was. In the final panel of Action Comics #29, he confided to his partner that he thought he had figured out who she was.

In Action Comics #33 Tex Thompson was declared dead (However, he was not dead and would later become Mister America). Miss X was never heard from again after his "death".
