comment |
Tomboy is a Superhero from The Interregnum, created by Edvard Moritz and published by Sterling in Captain Flash #1-4. She's secretly Janie Jackson, a seemingly-demure 10-year-old and daughter of a police lieutenant, who goes out and fights crime as Tomboy.Not to be confused with the more modern comic, the film or the trope. |

Frame-Up: Captain Flash #4 has Tomboy clearing her father's name after a gambling ring frames him for bribery. He was actually using the frameup as an excuse to go undercover and take them down. |

Arch-Enemy: Despite being a One-Shot Character, it's heavily implied that Lard Vinsion, crime boss and Big Bad of Captain Flash #3, has tangled with Tomboy many times before, an honour no other villain receives. |

Tomboy: Janie deliberately invokes the trope in her superheroic image, right down to the name. However, she's actually more of a girly girl in her civilian identity. |
