HISTORY
The daughter of the original Black Canary, Dinah Lance was cursed by the Wizard while still an infant, creating the Canary Cry. As she was unable to control this power, Johnny Thunder's Thunderbolt took her to his own dimension and removed all memories of her existence from her parents. After the original Black Canary was fatally injured during the battle with Aquarius, the Thunderbolt retrieved her daughter and had her take the elder's place. The younger Canary moved to Earth-One and joined the Justice League. For years, she believed that she was her mother.
For the post-Crisis, canonical version of this character, see Black Canary (Dinah Laurel Lance).
