Curiously , the fact that there was a Golden Age Black Orchid seems to be largely unknown today. . Run a search for 'Black Orchid Character' and you get the various DC revival incarnations, but no mention of the Topps character.
The name is tailor-made for a superhero, if we look at the meaning of the name 'Black Orchid'. Orchid comes from the Greek, ' “orchis” which means what?! Who knew!
