Helena was the daughter of the Earth-2
Bruce Wayne (Batman) and Selina Kyle
Wayne (Catwoman). Her first
appearances were in the 70's revival of
All Star Comics, starting with issue
#70, and her origin story was told
shortly after her initial appearance in
DC Super-Stars #17.

Selina, after reforming as Catwoman
had been out of costume for many
years. She was blackmailed by
Cermak, a former henchman from her
criminal past, into going out on another
job in her old personae. During this
escapade, Bruce went back into his
costume as well to foil the robbery, only
to see his wife get killed.

While this event drove Bruce into
depression and seclusion, it brought out
in Helena the same sort of anger her
father once had. Against his wishes,
she created the costumed identity of the
Huntress and went to settle scores over
her mother's death.

After bringing her mother's killer to justice, Helena joined the Justice Society and was a member during all
their appearances. At the same time, Batman Family ran Huntress solo-stories from issue #17 until it was
canceled with issue #21. In these stories, Helena worked by herself, but had a notable crossover with Batgirl
and Batwoman (who will be mentioned later in this article).

When the Justice Society ceased appearing in anything other than the annual JLA/JSA crossover, she could
often be found as the backup story in Wonder Woman, running from the late 70's through the early 80's.

During her run as the back up story, Huntress also appeared in a three issue Wonder Woman epic that
combined many of the heroines of the DCU.

Helena again did not appear for a while in DC books until Infinity Inc. debuted in 1983. For the first ten
issues, during the Generations Saga, Helena again was in the forefront, and after the conclusion, she took
an inactive role in Infinity Inc., returning to the JSA, leading into the four issue miniseries: America Vs. The
Justice Society.

During this miniseries, Helena, who was a lawyer with a thriving practice, was legal counsel for the JSA as
the 'Batman Diaries' were being used against them as 'proof' of their anti-American involvement in the past.
Helena appeared briefly in her costumed identity, but for the most part remained in her non-heroic personae
to handle the JSA's defense.

After the trial, Helena didn't appear much until the Crisis on Infinite Earths. She, along with the rest of the
assorted heroes and villains (such an antiquated term, isn't it?) went about attempting to save the multi-
verse. In issue #11, The Huntress along with the Dick Grayson, the Earth-2 Robin, were killed by a falling
building.

There were services held for Helena and Dick in The Last Days of the JSA one shot. Her best friend, Power
Girl, as well as the rest of the surviving JSA mourned both Helena and Dick.
