The Huntress

    (DC, 1989-1990)
™ and ©1989 DC Comics, Inc.

Think of her as a female Batman without the money, car, or castle. The daughter of a vicious Mafia man, Helena Bertinelli set off on her own and changed her name to Helena Martinez. Now she protects the innocent from crime, and from her father, in a city still squarely under the Mafia’s thumb.

This new Huntress is actually the third DC character by that name. The first was a seldom-seen Golden Age villainess who made her debut in Sensation Comics #68. The second was Helena Wayne, daughter of Selena Wayne (formerly Catwoman) and Bruce Wayne (Batman) of Earth-2. The newest rendition borrows heavily from the costume and methods of the second Huntress. At the same time, the writers of this series have given her a richer characterization that makes her something much more than a super-hero spinoff.
