The Huntress, also known as Helena Rosa Bertinelli, is a fictional
superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.
She is the third DC character to bear the name Huntress. In DC Comics
New 52 continuity, Helena Bertinelli is an alias used by Helena Wayne
while the real Helena Bertinelli is an agent of the spy organization
Spyral.In the first two seasons of Arrow, Helena Bertinelli is played
by actress Jessica De Gouw. The character made her cinematic debut in
the DC Extended Universe film Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous
Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), portrayed by Mary Elizabeth
Winstead.Helena Bertinelli was introduced in her own Huntress series,
written by Joey Cavalieri and drawn by Joe Staton, co-creator and
long-time artist of the Helena Wayne Huntress. Staton recalled, "I
think Paul [Levitz] realized that I felt my involvement with Helena
had been abruptly cut short [by the events of Crisis on Infinite
Earths], so I was always in line to be a part of any reworking of the
character. I don’t recall how Joey Cavalieri came to be the writer
on the Helena Bertinelli version, but I think we did some nice work on
that run. Helena Bertinelli could never have the deep resonance of
Helena Wayne, because she didn’t have the whole Batman/Catwoman
backstory at her command, but Joey worked her into a different mythos,
that of the mob, also dark, noirish".In the 1989 Huntress series,
Helena Bertinelli was born into one of Gotham City's most prominent
Mafia families. In this iteration of the character, she was kidnapped
as a child (aged 6) and raped by a rival mafia don purely to
psychologically torture her father and is a withdrawn girl. Her
parents, Guido and Carmela, send her to a boarding school and assign a
bodyguard for her protection where she learns all forms of combat.
After she witnesses the mob-ordered murder of her parents at the age
of 19, she crusades to put an end to the Mafia. She travels,
accompanied and trained by her bodyguard Sal, before returning to
Gotham to make her debut as the Huntress. Huntress (Helena Bertinelli) Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
