I know some of you were reading the post "Dick Grayson is Dinah's father" and possibly read the little disagreement i had with a certain Green Lantern....Well time for Doc to slice his little piece of humble pie....

This is gonna send Elektra to the Nut House...

Dinah Drake (original Canary) is a thief who becomes a hero. Marries her partner Larry Lance. She and Larry fought someone named Aquarius....Larry was killed and Dinah survived. Dinah supposedly had a daughter who she named after herself.
It is also stated that she had an affair with Ted Knight (Starman of the JSA) during her marriage to Larry...
Supposedly after Larry's death she moved to Earth 1 from Earth 2..(see crisis..I can't begin toi explain the alternate earth stuff)
She fights alongside the JLA and has a relationship with Oliver Queen (Green Arrow)..Later it is found that this Canary is the daughter of Dinah and Larry or Ted Knight, complete with powers Canary Cry. the original Dinah received fatal injuries in her battle with Aquarius and was taken to heaven by the original Spectre...

The Original Canary did have powers though...look out this is gonna hurt
She had the power to summon a flock of Black Canarys to assist her...
:curse:
"Champions small with mighty wings
Foe of every evil thing
Heed my call and arise to flight
Prove the Black Canarys might"

I'm kind of following... so... The first Black Canary was Dinah, who had the power to summon flocks of black canaries to assiste her in battle. Her daughter, Carolyn (well... I think Dinah (again) but... because the series said so... just deal with it) had the power to emit an ultra explosive wave of light and sound with her vocal chords, now her daughter (the origninal's grand-daughter) has the power to read and alter the psyche, telekinesis, and can throw telekinetic light... right?

And if anyone wants a visual depiction of the Canary lineage, take a look at the Drake/Lance Family Tree (http://www.geocities.com/bopfamilytree/can.html).
