After the ProFem thread, I was trying to think if there were any women who were disguised as male superheroes or vice versa - it would be a great secret identity if you could pull it off with the right sort of costume - or body. I suppose guys might have trouble keeping the falsies in place.
Apart from Batman dressing up as an old crone a few times, I can't think of any, but I don't read that wide a selection of superhero books.

Saquatch of Alpha Flight died and came back in Snowbird's body after HER death... Upon returning to human form, Walter discovered he was now "Wanda", much to Aurora's dismay!

In the new Gaimen series 1602 (which is supposed to be in continuity) John Grey is obviously Jean. This is the only current one I can think of.

According to an old issue of Amazing World of DC Comics, there was a hero called Madame Fatal, who was secretly a man, and whose adventures ran, briefly, in Crack Comics (I think), circa 1942.
One can imagine what concerned parents groups must have thought of Mr. Madame.

Wow! LL, you are a man of amazing resouces.
That strip is so silly looking. Is he supposed to be an old lady? I guess that makes sense. Who would expect granny to deliver a donnybrook?

Another obvious one: Ayla as Lightning Lad in Adventure # 308.

Wasn't there an episode of the original Dial H for Hero were the kid (whatever his name was....) turned into a character called something like Diamond Girl? I remember reading it at a very young age and finding it very odd!

D'oh! Ayla should have been the most obvious.
And Caroline just pointed out another one to me that some of you may not have heard of. A friend of ours is a writer/letterer/vice president for iHero Entertainment. They are publishing a new comic called Fishnet Angel who is known as the hard-luck goddess with the heart and soul of a heartbroken man. The comic's official site can be found here.

I think it was in the "Whatever happened to..." Backup feature in DC Comic Presents that showed Dian Belmont taking up the role of the Sandman (and ending up dead)

I remember Vicki Grant, after she turned evil, turning into a Diamond Girl, but not Chris King. If you want a list of all the heroes that have come from the 'H' dial (not counting the new series) go here for another list put together by the amazing John Censullo.

I remember seeing it in an issue of All-Star Squadron as well.

I don't think they've ever said. I had the idea it was natural causes.
