Usually characters are either mythic like Superman and aren't meant to be relatable, you just supposed to look up to them, or they're more psychological like Batman where some catastrophic event in their life drives them to fight crime. They usually have some kind of edge with powers or are super intelligent detectives or inventors.

Phantom Lady doesn't really have a dramatic origin, she just steals a fancy flashlight and puts on a costume to fuck up the bad guys. No powers, not the smartest girl in the world, and her gadgets kinda suck, but she's this unstoppable force that picks fights with serial killers and Nazi spies.

What is a super hero? Is it just a power fantasy or is it about choosing to stand up and do the right thing on principle even when you know you're outgunned? In a lot of ways she's got bigger balls than most of the other heroes in comics who can shoot webs or ride around in tanks they keep in their secret bat caves.
