I want to add a couple of classmates of Atom Blake at Grimoire, also from Earth S. While I am not generally in favor of 'legacy' characters, I feel like the daughter of a 50s female comic character might be an appropriate way to link back to Fawcett continuity.
In keeping with our discussion about the kind of training one might get at Grimoire Academy, I'm thinking that this legacy character will have no magical powers, may have (or not) some very minor mental powers, and is training for a job that might best be described as 'international woman of mystery' (as I'm not exactly sure what job that would be! She may not be sure either...)
So, are there any non-super female Fawcett characters who appeared regularly? I don't suppose they _must_ be adventure-oriented, it could be that the daughter of Tillie the Model has decided to turn action adventurer rather than be a model like her mom. I'd prefer a regular character over a one shot, but if the single-appearance character has the right background, I would go with that. Could be a villain, as well, I suppose...
I had a thought - maybe she is training to be an emergency doctor - she travels the world to crisis spots where they urgently need doctors...
Darn, I looked up Fawcett Comics female characters and it popped up Miss Masque - her granddaughter would be perfect, but she's Nedor. I really want someone from Earth S...

I haven't decided yet, but here is one possibility...
The clumsy daughter of Mary Dudley (Freckles Marvel) wants to be an action-adventure heroine... somehow Freckles knows a Grimoire recruiter and convinces her that Mary Dudley is a good candidate. And she's made it all the way to Fifth Year despite being particularly unsuited for the role she wants to play... (and by now she is secretly beginning to agree with everyone who says it is a bad idea, and she has privately changed her goal and now she wants to go to work for Grimoire when she graduates...)

Do you suppose that Cindy Lee, who was a student of Andrea Thomas on the Isis TV show, might be on the staff of the Grimoire Academy? Maybe that's why she disappeared from the TV show in the second season, she transferred to Grimoire Academy, and then remained there as staff! That could be fun...

So I went to Earth 4 instead for Ann Morgan; she must have legally changed her last name as a youngster to match that of her grandmother.

Freckles was in the Suspendium trap and is still a young woman. She’s a college student in Chicago. |

Freckles was in the Suspendium trap and is still a young woman. She’s a college student in Chicago. Wrong age then, plus she's got her own story continuing history that I shant touch. But it reminds me that I ought to go back and read "With one magic word: Shazam" published pre-crisis because I might find an interesting character or two there... unless Harvey already killed them off already... |

Has anybody used Radar yet. From what i understand of his background he was the son of a circus strongman and a mentalist/mindreader. Apparently he inherited some of his fathers strength and his mothers telepathy. He could only read surface thoughts as well as having some clairvoyance and x-ray vision although neither one worked very well. They worked so erratically they usually allowed someone to knock him out at least once per issue. His daughter or granddaughter could have inherited the family mental ability.

Radar did show up in my story Crisis Over Earth-3. He could have a daughter, and she might be just the type to go to Grimiore!
