HISTORY
The daughter of the original Black Canary, Dinah Lance grew up surrounded by the heroes of the Justice Society and was determined to become a crime fighter like them. Her parents were, naturally, against this, but fate took a hand with the discovery that Dinah, as a consequence of the meta-gene, was able to project a devastating sonic scream. Armed with this ability, and with extensive martial arts training from Ted Grant, the golden age Wildcat, Dinah launched her super-heroic career, and soon became a founder member of the Justice League of America, where she met and romanced Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow. Dinah continued to serve as a Justice League member on and off for many years, until one of Green Arrow's enemies tortured her and severely mutilated her vocal cords, robbing her of her sonic ability. A year or two later, the romance between her and Queen died, and Canary struck out on her own, battling street level crime, generally alone. Recently, she was recruited by Oracle for a serious of undercover missions world-wide, combating a number of different organized criminal activities.
In the wake of the death of Wesley Dodds, she fulfilled a dream in joining the regrouped Justice Society, where she began a brief relationship with Pieter Cross, the new Dr Mid-Nite. However, when Green Arrow came back into her life recently, she took a leave of absence from the team.
While on a mission for Oracle, Dinah found herself immersed in a Lazarus Pit and was transformed to her physical peak of early adulthood and regained the use of her sonic Canary Cry.
Recently, Dinah took up the chairmanship of a reorganized Justice League, but outside circumstances caused that grouping to dissolve.
