Yes, Black Canary II is a "junior".

Black Canary I was Dinah Drake, who married private investigator Larry Lance.

Black Canary II is Dinah Lance, daughter of Dinah Drake and Larry Lance.

I've been enjoying these in depth write ups and look forward to more.

I hope the inclusion of an "enemies" section doesn't keep the bad guys from getting their own articles.

Great work Darth!

These articles are incredible! As Webhead has surely noted, we need to get all of this information involved in the Realms Theme Park Forum. HeroClix as a game is so much more complete with these comic book twists. I would love to see what scenarios could arise from this article alone...

Keep it coming!

Absolutley not. Though I am finding that gathering information on the Bad guy teams is not as easy as the good guy teams.

Next week I begin the work on my first bad team article. It was a good thing that the JLA article, was long. It wore me out, and allowed me to take a week off, while allowing me to break it up into two articles.

Pre-Crisis they were the same character. Earth 2 BC just decided to stay in Earth 1 and join the JLA

Post Crisis BC 1 ran with the JSA in the 40's and was a basic brawler with no powers. (couple of Gadgets and Judo)

BC2 was her daughter (and therefore young enough to wear the fishnets and run with the JLA) To make them a little different this BC had a Sonic Scream, and knew Judo.


I believe they have different Middle Names, but there's no way I'm a big enough nerd to have stored in memory..... I'd have to look it up in the JLA:Y1 story.

Darth,

once again, you put a ton of work into compiling your column. Excellent job, and kudos to giving us the greatest superhero team from DC.

Peace,

The Frontman

webhead, i generally enjoy your articles but there was one error in this one. you list in the jla members not made yet section barry allen. he is in clix form. the jla flash is barry. jus tbecause the sculptor f'ed up and gave him wally's costume does not mean it is wally. what make sthe character is not the sculpt but the dial. i mean does batman always ware his jump suit, no he does not. i am not doging you, its just one of the few things about this game that gets treated with ignorance that should not. again i am not doging but pointin gout a glaring error made by one of the sculptors.
other than the one error that i harped on, TERRIFIC article keep up the great work.

Webhead didn't do the article, I did, and I hate to tell you, but the Flash that we see in clix form IS Wally West. People refuse to accept it, but it's the truth.

Otherwise, thanks for the compliment.

my bad ds, my brain is a little tip't at the moment if you know that i mean.
but do you base that it is wally off of the sculpt or did john L say it was wally or both? i say it is barry off of A-the dial, B-the jla being on all the rev versions and C- his AE.

IIRC, Jeff Grubb designed HT, and I seem to remember him stating that it was Wally.

To the best of my knowledge, middle names for Black Canary I and II have never been announced. However, technically, Black Canary II would not be a junior because her name only matches her mother's married name, and not the name she was born with. (This doesn't stop Wildcat from calling her "Junior" at a JSA reunion. JLA: Year One story, I think.)

From the JSA sourcebook for West End games

Black Canary I:
Real Name: Dinah "Diana" Drake Lance
Occpation: Florist

Black Canary II:
Real Name: Dinah Laurel Lance
Occpation: Crime Fighter

Goes to show that some things do run in the family, as didn't Black Canary open a flower shop in Birds of Prey recently?

Wierd.

Knew I saw it somewhere, I think it was also shown on some plaques on her wall in JLA Year One.

Dinah II was also a florist in JLA Y1 and the Green Arrow "seattle years" comics. The name of the shop in the GA was Sherwood Florist.

Well I find it witty

I'm just giving this a bump, as now that things appear to be fixed, I plan on finishing this and continuing my series on comic accurate themed teams.
