escription: Sally was a runaway who came to New York to find excitement. She worked a number of odd jobs before Laurence Shexnayder decided to cash in on the costumed crimefighter craze in early 1939 by creating the "Silk Spectre." Hiring wrestlers and strongmen to pose as criminals, the Silk Spectre garnered a large amount of publicity (and money). Sally joined the Minutemen and was almost raped by the Comedian in late 1940. She retired in 1947 and married Shexnayder, who was her agent.

In 1948 (or 1949), she slept with the Comedian, and gave birth to a daughter, Laurie, in 1949. Laurie was brought up to be a crimefighter (just like her mom) and ended up becoming the second Silk Spectre. Note: Sally Jupiter's real last name is Juspeczyk, which was changed to hide her Polish heritage. Laurie changed her name back.
