## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Sound Manipulation** Like her mother, Black Canary created powerful sonic waves with her voice with which she could achieve various effects, often with the assistance of psionic abilities which function only in unison with her sonic power.

* **Sonic Scream**: ability to shatter solid objects with a sonic scream.
* **Flight**: ability to fly at subsonic speeds by using his voice to propel him through the air and ride the sound waves.
* **Sonar**: could use her sonic powers as a form of sonar (Sound Navigation and Ranging). By sending out a precise, pure note and listening to the returning, altered wavefront of the note, she could evaluate his surroundings in total darkness with varying degrees of resolution.
* **Sonic Shield**: could tighten sound waves around herself or others near her, making a barrier against outside attack.
* **Vocal Disorientation**: ability to change someone’s balance, by affecting their equilibrium using her sonic scream
* **Vocal Trance**: ability to subtly influence people's subconscious mind by changing the tones and vibrations of her voice using sonics
* **Vocal Unconsciousness**: ability to affect the fluid in someone’s ear causing the person to go unconscious.
* **Sound Immunity**: Black Canary's hearing and equilibrium were unaffected by her power or other similar abilities.

* **Superhuman Vocal Stamina**: possessed superhuman stamina in her lungs, throat, and vocal cords.
