Heller (New Earth)

Heller's father was a bank guard who had been fatally shot by a man named Tommy Carlin during a bank robbery. Distraught by his death, Heller swore revenge and began investigating the murder on her own. She learned that Carlin had enlisted in the armed services and so she joined the Women's Auxiliary Corps in order to get closer to him. Heller's fiery temper embroiled her in a number of scuffles, and after several offenses, she was imprisoned inside one of the army base's guard houses.

An army lieutenant named Ben Hunter learned of Heller's superb combat skills and recruited her as part of a Special Forces detachment code-named Hunter's Hellcats. Heller faithfully served under Lt. Hunter throughout the remainder of the war, but never gave up her search for Tommy Carlin.

Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985-86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.
