Black Canary (Dinah Laurel Lance)

Dinah Laurel Lance, also known as Black Canary and Myra Kallen, is one of the major characters from the DC Comics series.
== Charactah Account ==
Dinah Lance was born into a family of crime fighters; her mother was a vigilante and her father is a cop. She grew up with the company of heroes, and after years of training, followed in her parent's footsteps by assuming the costume, identity, and legacy of her mother Dinah Drake, the Black Canary.
Black Canary is confident and clearheaded, and she takes her role as a trainer for the younger heroes very seriously. She is not one to mince words, but instead likes to get right to the point. She believes that injuries and setbacks come with the job of being a hero. While teaching the young heroes, she is stern, but also gives praise where it is due. She also shows a great deal of patience, particularly when working with Superboy, who initially dismisses her training techniques.
Black Canary possesses a unique metahuman ability dubbed the "Canary Cry," an ultrasonic scream powerful enough to shatter objects, disorient opponents and as more recently revealed, even shatter skulls and liquefy bones. She is also an expert martial artist, especially in Judo and boxing, and is considered one of the seven best fighters in the DC Universe. In post-Flashpoint continuity, it is revealed she is able to use her Canary Cry to fly.
