About Huntress (Helena Bertinelli)
Huntress is played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the movie Birds of Prey. She managed to survive her family’s massacre when her mother and brother shielded her from hit men. She is known to be socially awkward and takes offense to being called “the crossbow killer.” She helped kill Victor Zsasz, known as the last hit man. Then was able to secure her family’s old bank accounts using the money to fund the Birds of Prey, a vigilante group including Renee Montoya and Dinah Lance.
An alternate version of Huntress exists in the DC Comics in which she is Helena Wayne, daughter of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle. She also teamed up with Gotham’s biggest heroes, including Barbara Gordon and Black Canary, establishing her as one of the most popular heroines in the DC Universe.
