Origin

Brenda Hastings is a spoiled girl who's father owns a radio company.  She ends up joining the Red Cross and going Tatonia during a civil war. 

Creation

Brenda was to play a love interest in the life of Wonder Man.  Wonder Man Sometimes known as the first " Superman Clone" was wiped out after his first appearance when DC Comics sued Fox Feature Syndicate. This also meant that Brenda was not to be seen again either.  The character was created by Will Eisner.  In her one and only appearance Brenda is introduced as Brenda, but afterwards she is referred to as Nora.  It is likely a mistake.  However her full name could be Brenda Nora Hastings or Nora could be a nickname.
