Harv's Spotlight Featuring Huntress

Why Huntress? Why not?! Well, first of all, she is beautiful and has black hair and blue eyes! That alone makes her stand out! But, even more importantly, she is a high school English teacher, like me! How cool is that? How many superheroes are also teachers?! Not many! Also, Huntress hangs out with one of my other favorite heroes, Black Canary! Still, she is very independent and does what she wants, when she wants. She does what she likes and does not worry about what others think.

Biography: Helena Bertinelli is actually the sole surviving member of a mob family murdered by rival factions of the city's Mafioso. In her youth, La Cosa Nostra robbed Helena of her parents and brother, forcing her to seek refuge among Sicilian relations. Trained to fight by her cousin, Helena later returned to Gotham, determined to hunt down the men who ordered and carried out her family's destruction. Her retribution involved dismantling the organization to which she was once bound by blood. As the Huntress, Helena armed herself with crossbow and knife, stalking Gotham's organized crime figures with a violent intent. The city's Dark Knight defender, Batman, has tried time and again to temper her methods, even nominating her for membership in the Justice League of America, though he later had her membership revoked. But, through it all, the Huntress has remained unwilling to compromise her convictions.
