HISTORY 

The incredible gymnast Belle Danville would go crazy to the point of dressing up as the Harpy and going out in search of revenge for the death of her father, Doug Danville, aka the Black Owl. 

After a life dedicated to fighting crime, Danville had ended up being murdered not by a super criminal, but by unscrupulous and greedy business associate. 

Belle's vigilante rage had to be quelled by Rick Walters, alias the Yankee Eagle, her father's former sidekick. Rick stopped her from killing her father's murderers and helped her bring them to justice. 

Both continued working together and in the end, despite the age difference, they fell in love. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

As the Harpy, Belle used metal claws similar to the ones her mother (Scarlet Sable) used to use. She also wore a uniform similar to her father's, with a special cape that acted somewhat like a paraglider. She was an Olympic-level gymnast, extremely agile and strong, and had also received combat training since childhood from her parents. In addition to her claws, her gauntlets could shot needles loaded with a powerful narcotic.
