Respect The Huntress (Helena Bertinelli)

This is a thread dedicated to the somewhat "over-zealous" vigilante The Huntress......I may include Helena Wayne too, i'm not sure.

anyway, Here's Huntress's origin as told in her first appearance in Huntress V1 #1 (1989):

Huntress V1 #2 (1989):

Here's Helena on one of her first nights out. She takes on a room full of armed men, and nails one to the wall using small throwing knifes, showing accuracy......more men come to their rescue, and she is shot, but she still evades further harm and makes her escape.

Huntress takes on more armed men, taking out all their guns with one boomerang toss, and taking them down with a simultaneously attack of 3 chairs at 3 targets, all hitting their mark.

(note: this is the same night she's been shot, and she has not sought professional medical attention)

Huntress V1 #4 (1989) :

Huntress comes face to face with her family's killer. she shows accuracy, shooting two arrows into two small bearings holding up a fire escape ladder, causing it to hit his gun hand. Just as it seems he has her dead to rights, she uses a distraction to make a clever escape
