Manhunter (Kate Spencer) is a superheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. She is the eighth DC Comics character to be given the name Manhunter, but was the first woman. The character first appears in Manhunter (vol. 3) #1 (October 2004) and was promoted by DC Comics as relevant to the popular Identity Crisis limited series.[1]
Kate Spencer appeared as a recurring character on the second season of The CW Arrowverse show Arrow, portrayed by Chelah Horsdal. This version never became a vigilante and was the district attorney.
Publication history
Despite critical success, the first series repeatedly had trouble gaining larger readership. DC Comics considered in May 2006 to cancel the series and issue #25 was to be the last. Dan DiDio, DC's executive editor, was convinced by fan outcry to extend the series for five additional issues in order to improve sales.
