.....Bored college student Paula Brooks acted on one of her infatuations, with famous big game hunter Paul Kirk. Studying every facet of his life and trailing him on some of his adventures as Manhunter, Paula decided to herself become a "hunter of men". Training with her Japanese gardner and studying a variety of weapons, she designed a large collapsable crossbow and decided to join up with Kirk and stow away on a mission with the Young All-Stars to prove her worth not only to him, but to join the group.

.....Her firtatious ways and nearly sadistic fighting style caused some friction in the group, she accompanied them on a mission to protect Allied atomic scientists in June, 1942. During a battle, she was killed, only to be resurrected by Gurda, a Valkyrie. The ressurection brought forth a darker side to her personality, splitting her away from her heroic career, into a downward spiral that, after a brief attempt at redemption directed by Paul Kirk, in the late 1940's began her criminal career, hunting down heroes and focusing on Wildcat in particular, and renaming herself The Huntress.

.....After the heroes had retired in the early 1950's, and she had spent several years in prison, The Huntress met and fell in love with fellow criminal The Sportsmaster. In a competitive spirit, in the mid-1960's the two drew out of retirement Starman and Black Canary and Wildcat for a while. The two of them produced a daughter, Artemis, who would later follow in her mother's footsteps and take the name Tigress.

.....As advancing age slowed her down, The Huntress went into semi-retirement, coming out recently as a coach of the villain-influenced Olympic team from the island nation of Zandia.

.....The Tigress was a good hand-to-hand combattant, well versed in many weapons and tracking. She was very good with her hand-held crossbow. Later, her training increased to the point where she could capture active super-heroes. She also used a variety of nets and bolos.
