Canadian publisher Bell Features had its own myriad of superheroes during the Golden Age, one of which was a scantily clad heroine called the Polka-Dot Pirate. Created by Ross Mendes, this buxom swashbuckler is said to have the powers of strength and flight, but really was just a fit fighter in an unforgettable outfit. She either had her own feature in titles like Dime Comics or was the main star of a segment labeled under the Harbor Police. Taking place in Queen City, Polka-Dot would confound murderers by joining a boat race, baffled blackmailers, and teaming up with her hunky police friend Ricky. The vigilante vixen's main claim was her naval-revealing outfit that one villain referred to her as a fugitive from a costume fire sale. Despite her clashing getup, the fashionably challenged crimefighter tried to make the Great White North a slightly less boring place to live.
