HISTORY

Martha Roberts was the daughter of Doctor Roberts, who tutored his young protégé' Darrel Dane in his home laboratory. During the summer of 1939, Martha was being blackmailed by a criminal named Falco over love letters she had written one of her former college teachers. After imbibing a concoction, Dane found himself shrunk to the height of six inches, but with his normal strength intact. Martha sewed him new clothes to wear, and he began to worry that he might never be able to regain his normal height.

After refusing to pay Falco any more blackmail money, Martha was kidnapped by Falco and rescued by the "doll man". Finding through intense concentration, Dane could affect his height, he decided to begin to fight crime as The Doll Man, often assisted by Martha.

Several years later, while wishing and concentrating about being able to shrink down to aid Doll Man, Darrel also was thinking about the same thing and suddenly, Martha's height and weight dwindled down until she was on the same scale as Doll Man. She began to team with Doll Man as Midge, the Doll Girl.

She continued to fight crime with Doll Man for several more years, but her current whereabouts and activities after 1953 are unknown.

POWERS AND WEAPONS

Doll Girl could shrink through mental concentration to a height of 5 and 1/2 inches. She retained her normal strength, and was a fair hand-to-hand combatant. She could pilot the small "flying saucer" that the duo used, and was able to uses other small vehicles as needed.
