Sometimes history repeats itself... when larger-than-life lads inspire equally legendary ladies to careers that lead to success. Such was the case for Kristin Wells of Earth-One and Mary Wills of Earth-Two. Each was fiery redhead, who knew what she wanted in life and excelled in it. And, due to their relationships with their male role models, they became Superwoman and Roberta.
Kristin was a journalism student and teacher of the 29th century, seeking to find out the secret identity of the 20th century's most mysterious hero which took the name of Superwoman. Thinking it was possibly Lois Lane and then Linda Danvers, the former Superwoman and present Supergirl respectively, she soon discovered that she was to wear the legendary garb. Aiding Superman and the Justice League of America against King Kosmos, Wells discovered she was the heroine who saved Earth-One, and would return to the modern era on a second occasion when she carved out a brief, historically memorable costumed career.
Mary was an aspiring student and future teacher who fell in love with the Boy Wonder, Robin, while also being a classmate of his alter ego Dick Grayson. Training herself in various physical and mental disciplines while equipping herself with an array of gadgets, Mary created the costumes identity of Roberta the Girl Wonder.
These ladies utilized various devices and tools to help them replicate superhuman abilities. Superwoman used an opal beam amulet and gravity redistribution flight belt to enable her to create space warps, decrease the mass of objects she could then lift, and the power to fly through the air. Roberta used her crime compact which included, in addition to her grapple line, a candid camera, various capsules (gas, smoke and explosive), crystal radio, a compass and skeleton key. With these devices, Superwoman and the Girl Wonder were capable of rendering valuable aid to Superman and the Boy Wonder, respectively.
