Silk Spectre of The Watchmen

"Sally Juspeczyk was an ex-waitress and burlesque dancer before becoming a crimefighter on the advice of her agent, and future husband, Laurence Schexnayder. Silk Spectre I was indecently assaulted by The Comedian, but the attack was ended upon Hooded Justice's intervention. An emotionally turbulent second encounter with the Comedian resulted in the birth of her daughter, Laurel, who would become Silk Spectre II. Silk Spectre I was involved in a tumultuous marriage with Schexnayder, which subsequently ended in divorce. Both her appearance in a Tijuana bible and her career as a burlesque dancer suggest she welcomes male attention while her printed interview suggests a seriously low self esteem in that she admits she suspects she brought on the Comedian's assault. She later retires to a rest home in California. The character of Silk Spectre (Sally) is inspired not only by Nightshade, but also by Black Canary and Phantom Lady."
