History[]

Early life[]

Helena is an archeologist and teacher. She raised her daughter on her own. Her work on Greek architecture was of interest to Aquaman and Wonder Woman. She was abducted from a dig site in Olympia in February 2015, after she had uncovered a strange Babylonian artifact that she felt was out of place.[2]

The Team was sent to investigate, and discovered Sandsmark had left behind a tablet device. She had saved a message on it, detailing what little she had discovered of her abductors.[2]

After locating all the fragments for the Light, she discovered she was to be taken to Gotham City. She left another message on her device, hoping it would lead to her release.

She was held by Riddler in an empty circus tent. Nightwing and his squad eventually found her and released her. Sandsmark was pleased, as she had feared her messages would not be heard.

Following her release, she continued to work with the Team. She discovered that Riddler had set her up to find the original artifact, and had been closely monitoring her. She also discovered the third artifact they got was a fake.[3]

Helena went to the Premiere Building with Eduardo Dorado Sr. and Jay Garrick in order to pull Cassie, Ed and Bart from the Outsiders. Helena was particularly concerned about the extra danger they had put themselves in by becoming public heroes, though she had reluctantly supported Cassie being a member of a covert team. Eventually the young heroes convinced their guardians that little had really changed, and that if they could not stand up for meta-humans, then no one could, and all three went on to publicly support the Outsiders.[4]
