The Crossbow was the weapon of choice of the hero and vigilante known as Huntress.
History
Although there have been many models of the weapon across the years, it has remained as her primary weapon in combat.
Earth-Two
Helena Wayne adopted the costumed identity of the Huntress in order to follow the steps of her parents. She often used a small crossbow, which she carried in a special holster built into her boot. The crossbow was made of vanadium[1] and had a collapsing mechanism, which allowed it to be folded inside the holster without taking much space and giving Huntress freedom of movement.[2]
Arrowverse
When Helena Bertinelli first became a vigilante, she used a gun as her weapon of choice. Oliver Queen attempted to train her in archery, and gave her a pistol crossbow as a transitional weapon until she developed the strength and skill required to use a bow effectively. Huntress quickly left Team Arrow but continued to use the crossbow as her primary weapon.
