Like Miss Masque, The Woman in Red was another of the many Golden Age comic book characters who were stored in suspended animation in the "Vault of Heroes" in AC Comic's FemForce.


The Woman in Red was also used in Alan Moore's America's Best Comics line, though she now had a power upgrade and yet another change in her costume.


And over at Dynamite Entertainment she was another Golden Age hero who had been trapped in "Pandora's Urn" as part of that company's Project Superpowers series.
