Hanna v1.1
Source of Character: Hanna, the 2011 European-American action thriller film that contains prominent fairy tale elements, directed by Joe Wright. Hanna is played by Saoirse Ronan.
Helper(s): IMDB
Reasons: A nicely entertaining action film that ended up being better than I originally thought it was going to be. The references to Grim’s Fairy Tales throughout the film were quite humorous.
Writeups.org & Amazon.com recommend Hanna (film).

Powers and Abilities
Hannah is a 16-year-old girl who was raised by her father, Erik Heller (an ex-C.I.A. operative), to be the perfect assassin. She has undergone intensive training to become a formidable unarmed combatant, wilderness survival expert, and proficient in multiple languages and studies. All of these skill sets enable Hannah to adapt and survive in extreme conditions.
The ABC of her DNA
Erik Heller (Hannah’s supposed father) was actually once a recruiter for a program in which pregnant women were recruited from abortion clinics so that the C.I.A. could alter their children’s DNA, enhancing their strength, stamina, and reflexes while suppressing emotions like fear and pity in order to create a batch of super-soldiers. However, the project was shut down for unexplained reasons.
In the film Hannah comes across a medical file being collected on her for Marissa Wiegler. Within that file are certain markers in her DNA that suggest Hannah may have an abnormal genetic structure or sequence.
Description
Hannah appears just like any normal 16 year old girl with blue eyes, pale blonde hair and very fair skin complexion.
Personality
Although Hannah is quite intelligent and well-read, she has been brought up in almost complete isolation from the rest of the world. She is unfamiliar with the normal social interactions that everyday people take for granted and is easily confused in social settings.
Whenever Hannah is forced to defend herself all traces of fear and doubt evaporate as she engages opponents in battle. She has been shown to disable multiple, well-armed and highly trained combat operatives with little difficulty.
DC Universe History
Hannah could be dropped pretty much anywhere in the DCU as is. She may have been a special pet project Lexcorp was conducting, or any number of the other alphabet intelligence agencies for the purposes of building a better soldier.
