June Moone was a librarian who stumbled upon a mysterious entity that gave her powers allowing her to effect reality around her... including changing her own appearance. As the Enchantress, she had a short-lived career as a costumed crusader, an obscure heroine that ended ignobly.
Joan Dale was a reporter for the Daily Star who was accidentally recruited against her will into becoming a test subject of Project M. Using an experimental procedure, the scientists at the Project gave Joan to transmute matter. Believing she was granted powers by the massive copper sculpture in New York Harbor known as the Statue of Liberty, Joan began her new mission as a heroine.
June moved to Florida to pursue a new career path. This led her into a meeting with school guidance counselor Linda Danvers, aka Supergirl, with whom she clashed while trying to use her powers to vastly amplify her abilities to wipe out all evil from Earth-One. When Moone's plans were dashed by the Girl of Steel, the pair had a rematch leading to a similar outcome. June then schemed further...
Miss America was recruited by the hero known as Uncle Sam into joining him and other mystery men of Earth-Two in his Freedom Fighters. Together, they traveled to Earth-X to prevent an aerial attack on Pearl Harbor as had transpired on Earth-Two. Yet despite repelling the Japanese air forces, Joan and most of her allies seemingly perished during the battle.
As for the Enchantress, she formed the Forgotten Villains, and this time clashed with Supergirl's cousin Superman and the Forgotten Heroes... and yet again despite having an awesome array of abilities at her disposal, her power-mad desire proved her undoing as her betrayal of fellow allies led to her defeat, nevermore to reappear as a supervillain or heroine.
