Overview

Godiva is the name of three DC Comics characters. One is a superhero while the other two are supervillains. Publication history Godiva first appeared in Super Friends #7 and was created by E. Nelson Bridwell. Fictional character biography Dorcas Leigh is a beautiful socialite from the United Kingdom with the power to control her hair's movement. Her first mission was to assist the Elongated Man in dismantling a bomb near London. Later on, she helped Wonder Woman find the Queen Bee. She later helps Jack O'Lantern in the Crisis on Infinite Earths and assists Superman in a confrontation with Toyman. Around this time she is part of a team of Guardians protecting Paris, France from an attacking force of Apellaxians. A nearby reporter states it is one of the largest alien groups spotted so far in the invasion.

Notable quotes

“Taxes have a long and ugly history.  …  From then to now—whatever the form of government—Kings, Commissars Chancellors: even Presidents and Prime ministers lust for loot.  It's enough to set one pining for the reincarnation of Lady Godiva.”
— J. Henderson, "Lady Godiva, Foe of Taxation," Mises Wire (Ludwig von Mises Institute, 3 April 2006).
“Perhaps it is just a matter of time before some new Godiva will coax the current earls of Mercia and bring about the perfection to which Mark Twain alluded...; and usher in a greater era of understanding, compassion, and tolerance, "with liberty and justice for all," to accompany our scientific progress, and this outcome--Godot himself would no doubt deem worth waiting for.”
— Ronald J. Meyers, "Waiting for Godiva," ch. 7 of Waiting for Godiva: A Gude for Thinking Women and Men to the Story of Love (2002), p. 343.
