Sly, subtle, but all the same able to tear a man apart. a true femme fatale... That was Dinah's mother back in the war. One of the later adopted members to the Justice Society of America, Dinah Drake would, coupled with the abilities of her teammates and her own power, the Canary Cry, spend the last few years of the war pushing back against the Nazi and reclaiming Europe. Running counter-intelligence, espionage, skirmishes and, when needed, fighting on the front lines. The JSA did it all..

But that was all a long time ago now, the first Canary has grown old.
She passed on the legacy to her daughter who found herself with the same power, the same Canary Cry, with which she began a crusade as the

New Black Canary.

Dinah Laurel Lance has been operating as the Black Canary for nearly a decade now, and most of that time as a member of the Avengers Initiative. Turns out if your mother worked for a secret government agency, and you adopt her namesake, it's not too difficult for certain people to find out your identity. A job was offered, and she's been with them ever since.

Black Canary has never really been my favourite DC hero, the younger portrayals may well fit in with the less authoritative operations of the Justice League but, I could never really see herself doing that as she got older, less brash and impulsive. To me she does fit with the rest of the JL mould, and so I wanted to make use of the freedom Absolute Comics provides, and place her somewhere I feel she more rightly belongs- the Avengers.

This will be a young Dinah, around her mid-to-late twenties and after she's grown out of her independent crimefighter days, opting to work as an Avenger alongside others, figuring she can do more good in the world that way. Maybe she'll defect to the Justice League, who knows. Maybe she'll fall for an archer, WHO KNOWS!

For now, I'm keeping Black Canary as a Roaming character that'll show for Avengers Missions and maybe some S.H.I.E.L.D. adventures, mainly focussing on @Sep's Lady Liberty journey of finding Fury- if that ever gets off the ground. Though I might switch her to a Driving character if more Avenger adventures are needed to keep the roster busy. (seriously, why are all the Avengers green?!)
