Black Canary

Black Canary is the superheroine alias of two characters featured in DC Comics: Dinah Drake and her daughter Dinah Laurel Lance. A highly skilled martial artist, her signature ability is a destructive scream named the "Canary Cry". First appearing in 1947 on the 86th issue of Flash Comics volume 1, Black Canary is one of DC's oldest and longest-running superheroines. She is mainly associated with the teams Justice League and Birds of Prey.

In the Ms. /co/ tournaments, Black Canary is best known for her Cinderella run in Ms. /co/ 2018. As a 66th seed, she took down 2nd seeded Jessica Rabbit in the 2nd round. Her upset victory generated momentum which eventually landed her an appearance in the quarter-finals, where she lost to Kim Possible and ultimately placing 8th after the consolation round. She is currently the lowest-seeded female contestant to reach the Elite Eight, and the second-oldest (after Betty Boop, who debuted in 1930, made the top 8 in 2021).

However, Black Canary's result appeared to be a fluke, as she had a poor qualifying performance in the 2020 contest, placing 296th out of 1093 nominees. She was the only returning non-champion contestant from 2018 who failed to earn a tournament berth that year.

Her next eligible Ms. /co/ tournament will be in 2021.
