Synopsis: At the request of the brilliant scientist, Professor Amazo, Mary Lee, modest young school teacher, undergoes an experiment which transforms her into a slim, beautiful creature with unlimited energetic powers.

Disclose Notes: Lady Fairplay's origin is told very quickly in a blurb on the first page. Either the writer/artist didn't have room for a full origin story or there was an earlier, unpublished story that chronicled the character's origin.
