Huntress (Helena Bertinelli)

## Powers & Abilities

* **Precognition**
* **Spyral Implants:** Like many of Spyral's agents, Helena possessed implants that granted her several abilities to assist her in the field. These were shut down after she left Spyral.
	+ **Hypnos:** Hypnos are implants that enable the user to confuse and hypnotize others.
	+ **Identity Protection:** The Spyral implants make the user's face unable to be captured by surveillance cameras and any person's memory.
* **Archery:** Huntress carries her trademark crossbows on her at all times. Whether they're dual mounted mini-crossbows or one large crossbow is up to her as she has proficiency to use both. She's once used a single bolt to split a bullet in two.
* **Criminology:** Huntress grew up in a criminal environment and later spent a few years surrounded by gangs and criminals. If there ever was a street-wise hero who stayed on the straight and narrow it would be the Huntress.
* **Driving:** Huntress is an effective driver, able to pilot the Batmobile in high stress and combat situations as well as her own motorcycle at varying degrees of above-average driving situations (being shot at, accelerating to high speeds and over semi-separated bridges).
* **Firearms:** Over the years Huntress realized that firing and reloading bolts at armed individuals may not be the most effective even if they were the most non-lethal. She's adapted her arsenal over time to include various firearms.
* **Investigation:** Batman, himself, has mentioned Huntress's prowess during investigation situations. She is credited as the "Batman" of the Birds of Prey team and regularly spends her free-time solving cold cases especially when the Mafia is involved. Batman stated that Helena's Atlas of Organized Crime in Gotham, is **outstanding work.**
* **Martial Arts:** Huntress was very much a street fighter before honing her skills in martial arts. She spent many years getting into intentional fights just to prove and test her mettle. She has since fine-tuned her skill after years of work with Black Canary. She learned various disciplines of martial arts, enough to challenge even Lady Shiva. She prefers to use a specific kind of Kung Fu learned from Richard Dragon.
	+ **Boxing**
	+ **Dragon Style Kung Fu:** One of the many disciplines she has learned is Dragon Style Kung Fu.
	+ **Karate**
	+ **Muay Thai**
	+ **Stick Fighting:** Although she prefers to use her martial arts and hand-to-hand combat when it comes to close quarters, there have been many occasions where Huntress has used her Battle-Staff to take on multiple enemies.
* **Multilingualism:** She can speak both English and Italian fluently.
* **Peak Human Condition:** Huntress works hard to keep her body in peak physical condition. She stated her costume change to include more skin was a result of her 300 ab crunches a day.
* **Pedagogy:** Before and sometimes during her career she has taught at various schools and varying people the complicated language of English. She has cited her skill as a teacher on a few occasions but prefers to leave her civilian life out of sight.
* **Stealth:** Huntress can be very stealthy when she needs to. With her specially outfitted suit and various toys in her utility belt she can sneak into a facility and learn whatever information she desires although she sometimes prefers to fight her way in.
* **Throwing:** Helena learned the art of throwing from her cousin Salvatore Asaro.
* **Espionage:** Due to her former status as an agent of Sypral, Helena is a very accomplished spy. She tutored Agent 37 on the art of espionage as well.
