This cosplay models Huntress’ Most popular and recognizable costumeBut the character has worn various looks throughout her history. The original Huntress is actually Helena Wayne, the daughter of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle from Earth-2.
The Pointed mask, cape, crossbow and overall purple color scheme started with the Wayne iteration of the characterHow Helena decided to follow in her parents’ vigilant footsteps after her mother died. Helena Wayne was written out of continuity after the collapse of the multiverse in Crisis on Infinite Earths By Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, but another Huntress is waiting in the wings.
Created by Joey Cavalieri and Joe Staton, Helena Bertinelli made her debut in 1989, using the Huntress alias to take revenge on the mob. Her costume was initially quite similar to the Earth-2 version, but as the character became darker, so did her costume, with a Black, form-fitting outfit replacing her classic purple leotard. Jim Lee redesigned the Huntress costume once more during the Batman: Shut up Story arc, and the basic look has mostly stayed in place through the years (with some added modifications). The modified Lee costume is the look Leto shows off in this cosplay, recreating the heroine in exact detail.
