Origin[]
Helena Bertinelli was born to a rich mafia family in Gotham city. When her family was murdered in a rival mob hit, young Helena was the only survivor. She was taken in by her uncle and lived in Sicily. As she grew up she trained in secret, honing herself into a weapon and mastering the crossbow. Inspired by Batman, when Helena returned to Gotham to seek revenge on the mafia, she wore a costume and called herself the Huntress. As Huntress, she was a ruthless vigilante who wasn’t hesitant to kill her criminal targets. Her violent nature put her at odds with Batman. Eventually Huntress learned to suppress her killer instincts and formed a tentative alliance with the Bat family. Huntress was very shocked to learn that Batman himself got her inducted into the Justice League of America.
