The Mysterious Black Canary

Black Canary is a beautiful, intriguing heroine, who got her start back in the 1940's. She was introduced in Flash Comics #86 in the Johnny Thunder as a sleek,lovely jewel thief (who it is revealed later was infiltrating a criminal gang). She got her feature in Flash Comics #92 as a heroine who was an expert at hand-to-hand combat who worked with her love interest, detective Larry Lance, while as alter-ego Dinah Drake, owned a floral shop.

Black Canary was revived in the 1960's in Justice League Of America comics as a member of the Justice Society, who resided on Earth-Two. She was now married to Larry Lance and appeared annually in the JLA-JSA team-ups in the pages of Justice League Of America comics.

Her life took a fateful turn in the 1969 JLA-JSA team-up, when her husband Larry sacrificed his life to save her from Aquarius. Out of grief, Black Canary moved to Earth-One and joined the Justice League. She also had gained an ultra-sonic scream (canary cry) through radiation. She also began a long standing (on-off) relationship with The Green Arrow.

Black Canary has undergone a vast amount of changes and re-vamps over the years. In the 1980's, she is revealed to actually be the daughter of the original Black Canary and Larry Lance, who apparently both died at the hands of Aquarius.She gained a new secret identity (Dinah Laurel-Lance)

She has been part of several super-groups (Justice Society, Justice League and Birds Of Prey, mainly).

Black Canary has been featured in many animated series as well as several live-action TV series and specials (Legends of the Superheroes,Birds of Prey,Smallville, and currently Arrow).

She remains to this day, a sexy, sleek, mysterious super-heroine in our current pop culture.
