Captain Dinah Drake, formerly known undercover as Tina Boland, is a meta-human vigilante, the police captain, formerly a lieutenant of the Star City Police Department and a former police detective of the Central City Police Department. She was eventually recruited into the ranks of Team Arrow by Oliver Queen, who was searching for a successor to the Black Canary mantle.

After discovering that Oliver, John Diggle and Felicity Smoak respectively had violated her privacy, she left the team, along with Rene Ramirez and Curtis Holt to formed their own team known as New Team Arrow, until she rejoined Team Arrow to help Oliver battle Diaz along with Rene and Curtis.

Dinah is also the girlfriend of the late Vincent Sobel.

Early life
Dinah Drake was born and raised in Central City, where she later joined the CCPD sometime in 2003, becoming a detective specializing in undercover jobs. Her first undercover assignment was with the street gang called the Pilgrims, where she was trained in bo-staff fighting. Another one of her undercover missions involved working with a gang of safe crackers. During one of her undercover ops, Dinah learned of The Quadrant. A massive criminal organization that spans all over the United States, but no one was able to confirm their existence.

Dinah has apparently been engaged to be married multiple times, though all of these relationships dissolved.

Undercover
Dinah was an undercover cop going by the name Tina Boland in order to protect her family. In 2013, she was called to Captain David Singh's office for her newest undercover job. They were joined by fellow undercover cop Vincent Sobel, who took an instant liking to Dinah as she did him. Singh assigned Dinah to help Vincent take down drug dealer Sean Sonus, who Sobel has been undercover in for a while. Vincent warned Dinah that Sonus was dangerous, but Dinah wasn't afraid of the risk. During the next three years working together in Sonus's gang, the two began getting romantically with each other.

One night during their undercover mission, "Tina" was helping Sonus stay in the dark in his funding. But when she asked for a little bit more information, she quickly backed off before Sonus got suspicious. Leaving for the night with Vincent, the two discussed what Tina saw in Sonus's books. After revealing Sonus had money hidden away, the two kissed.

After Vincent found out that news had gotten to Sonus that a cop had infiltrated his organization, he informed Tina. The two were in bed when Vincent suggested they call Singh and bust up Sonus's operations now. Tina disagreed, reminding Vincent that they don't have enough on Sonus to take him down. Vincent, however, was worried that Sonus has discovered one of them was the mole. Tina assured him that had Sonus found out, either one of them would've been dead already. Vincent decided to go along with Tina's plan.

The following night, Tina was playing cards with Sonus's right hand man, Declan, when Sonus came over and asked her to look over some numbers before the deal with Alvarez. When she opened to page 12, she horrified to find her police photo on it. A gun was then pointed at her head.

Becoming a meta-human
Tina was then tortured for two weeks by Sonus, trying to get information from her. Sonus captured Sobel, revealing he found out he was a cop too. When Tina begged Sonus not to hurt Vincent, he seemingly killed him. The S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator exploded subsequently, which gave Sonus and Dinah their powers. She screamed as the particles from the accelerator went into her system, turning her into a Meta-human; she was given sonic screaming abilities. In her grief over Vincent's death she used her sonic scream, attacking Sonus.

She handed in her badge after her partner's funeral and went rogue. Three years later, she became a vigilante all across America never settling down her roots. While doing this, she always kept track of Sonus' movement to one day kill him as justice for Vincent. In late 2016, while searching for Sonus in Hub City, Dinah was at a bar when two men started harassing a waitress. She found what they were doing to be cliche. When the two men started harassing Dinah instead, she screamed them out of the bar and smiled to herself.

Recruited into Team Arrow
Tracking Sonus' right hand, Declan, Dinah intended to attack a meeting he was in when she was halted by the vigilantes of Star City; Green Arrow, Wild Dog, and Mister Terrific. Dinah was amused and demanded to know what they wanted. When Green Arrow offered her a place on his team to call home and to better hone her abilities, Dinah declined and warned them if they got in her way she would inflect great harm upon them, then left.

After meeting the vigilantes, Dinah was able to capture Declan and bring him to her apartment room 511. There, she inflected the same torture he inflected on. During Declan's torture, Green Arrow and Wild Dog barged in. But before they could do anything, Dinah killed Declan with her sonic scream. Wild Dog managed to dampen Dinah's powers with a sonic dampener. The three were soon attacked by Sonus' men. While Green Arrow and Wild Dog were distracted fighting his men, Dinah escaped out the window. Green Arrow, however, chased after her and shot a dummy arrow at her to knock her to the ground. Helping her up, Arrow continued to try and persuade Dinah to let them help her take down Sonus without anyone dying in the process. Arrow tried this by telling her that they aren't so different, and that they've each tried to handle the trauma in their lives. Unfortunately, Dinah still wasn't interested, and knowing they were out of the sonic dampener's reach, used her powers to escape.

Finally tracking Sonus to his hideout, Dinah swiftly dispatched his men and entered his office. Sonus, however, wasn't afraid to see Dinah again. Before Dinah could do anything, Sonus revealed that he was affected by the particle accelerator explosion as well and used his sonic wave ability to disorientate her. Just before Sonus could finish her off, Green Arrow and Wild Dog showed up and saved her.

Waking up a few hours later, Dinah proceeded to continue her vendetta. But Green Arrow, in his persistence, asked Dinah again to let them help her. She denied their once again and left. As Dinah was leaving on her motorcycle, the Green Arrow appeared in front of her, revealing his identity as Oliver Queen. Oliver tried to relate with Dinah by telling her about a man in Star City who's trying to convince him that he is beyond redemption. Dinah refused to let Oliver put his issues on her, but he claimed to not want that. Attempting for the final time, Oliver asked her to let them help her and she'll never see them again afterwards. Dinah agreed.

Following Dinah's lead that Sonus was on a rooftop, bringing in a large shipment of a drug called slide, the vigilantes acted on it. With Terrific's help on comms, the three interrupted Sonus's meeting. After dampening Sonus's abilities, taking down his men and destroying the inbound helicopter, Dinah held a gun to Sonus, ready to kill him. Green Arrow tried to talk her out of it, asking her what Vincent would've wanted, but Dinah shot up saying he would've wanted that. Dinah then left the two disappointed vigilantes.

Not feeling any better then before, Dinah tracked down Oliver and found out he was the mayor of Star City. Entering his office, Oliver was surprised to see her again. Dinah expressed her disappointment in not feeling better after killing Sonus and asked Oliver how he does what he does. He told her that he still working on it himself. Dinah then revealed that she and Vincent were lovers and that she hated herself more then Sonus for not preventing Vincent's death. Oliver told her that he believes his team is about finding redemption, revealing Wild Dog and Mister Terrific's true identities as Rene Ramirez and Curtis Holt in the process. Feeling she could trust Oliver, she revealed Tina Boland was her undercover name for her undercover work and that her real name was Dinah Drake. Seeing how Oliver was affected by the name, she asked if it meant anything. He told her that a friend of his was named Dinah, and was the reason he seeked her out. Dinah then joined Team Arrow.

After joining Team Arrow and moving to Star City, Dinah started living in the abandoned H.I.V.E Headquarters.

Mission to Russia
After joining Team Arrow, Dinah found that her first mission was in Russia helping Oliver, John Diggle/Spartan, Felicity Smoak/Overwatch, Rory Regan/Ragman, and Curtis stop a nuclear arms deal between former United States General J.G. Walker and Markovian terrorists. Arriving in Star City's sister city, Dinah talked to Diggle about the unexpected missions Team Arrow goes on, to which Diggle drops the existence of aliens to her. As the team were introduced to Oliver's Bratva friend Anatoly Knyazev, they were shocked when Oliver's so called friend punched him in the face and denied his assistance.The team then went to an A.R.G.U.S. safehouse to discuss their next move. Dinah suggested Oliver makes nice with Anatoly since they were desperate. Oliver agreed and went with Diggle.

That night Curtis was helping Dinah control her abilities, but found Dinah didn't have much control beside "on and off". When Felicity's trail to find Walker hit a dead end, Dinah suggested tracking his burner phone that he used in the states. Using the information Felicity got because this, the team tracked Walker to a Russian church. Dinah remained outside to keep watch. When the mission went sideways, Dinah saved Oliver Diggle from one of Walker's men, who they took prisoner.

Dinah later joined Oliver as backup to fulfill a favor for Anatoly in exchange for his help in finding Walker. After helping Oliver take down one of Anatoly's rival businesses, Dinah talked to Oliver about his influence on this team and how Prometheus has gotten into his head that he infects the people he loves. She assures him that he's nothing like what Prometheus wants him to believe and urged him to talk to Diggle and Felicity and how they've been acting.

With Anatoly's intel, the team moved in on the Markovians. While chasing them down, Dinah used her sonic scream to tip the van over. Oliver and Dinah got out but found the terrorists guns pointed at them. Fortunately, Anatoly arrived in time to provide backup. After securing the nuke and arresting Walker, the team celebrated at a Russian club where she impressed Anatoly with her ability to hold her vodka.

Bonding with Diggle
One day, Dinah was practicing her bo staff routine with Diggle in the Arrowcave. When Felicity found a lead to Prometheus's identity, the two took a break. Diggle complimented Dinah's routine and questioned where she learned how to use a bo staff. Dinah told him that she learned during one of her undercover jobs. When Dinah revealed she's still living at H.I.V.E.'s old headquarters, Diggle suggested she find a better place, but she assured him it was fine.

After an attack on City Hall by an unknown individual, the team managed to grab the weapon he used; an AR-15 Assault Weapon. Unfortunately, the shooter was able to avoid surveillance cameras in City Hall, leaving the team with nothing to go on. Dinah and Diggle attempted to get information from the ESU, to no avail. When they returned, they found an argument had broken out about the use of guns. Dinah voiced her opinion and introduced herself to Quentin Lance, who seemed a bit off hearing her name. Felicity then revealed that she finally found who the shooter was. Much to the team's shock, it was a simple man named James Edlund with no criminal record. They contacted Green Arrow and informed him.

When Oliver returned, the team learned that Edlund's family was gunned down 16 months ago and attacked City Hall in retribution. Dinah and Diggle went out to chase down leads on Edlund's whereabouts. After a dead end, Diggle brought up Dinah living in H.I.V.E.'s headquarters again. After some persuasion, Dinah revealed the reason she hasn't applied for an apartment was because she doesn't feel normal enough to do it. To help her, Diggle told her he felt the same way after he got back from deployment and that Dinah to give herself permission to be normal again. After Edlund was eventually arrested, Dinah took Diggle's advice and got a lease on a studio apartment. She also became the newest recruit at the SCPD. While she was packing her things, Diggle came to check on her and she thanked him for pushing her to do it.

Becoming Black Canary
While Oliver and Diggle were out talking to Prometheus's mother, Amanda Westfield, old foes broke out of a prisoner transport to Iron Heights Prison; Liza Warner, China White, and Carrie Cutter/Cupid. When Oliver and Diggle returned and gave Felicity information on Prometheus, Dinah caught them up on the breakout. After giving orders to find them, Oliver told Dinah they had to leave for Dinah's swearing in ceremony at the SCPD. Diggle took the time to congratulate her, which she appreciated. Oliver proceeded over the ceremony and welcomed "Officer Drake" to the SCPD.

After learning the three escapees were after the late Tobias Church's money spot, Felicity was able to track them to Oak Hill Memorial. Before Dinah could go out with Wild Dog and Mister Terrific, Felicity stopped her, suggesting she wear a mask. When Felicity gave her Laurel's Black Canary mask, Dinah was overwhelmed, feeling she wasn't ready to fill her predecessor's shoes. Felicity assured her it was just the mask.

Wearing her vigilante costume, Dinah used scream to stop Warner, White, and Cupid from escaping with Church's money. When the escapees hired men showed up, Dinah took White on by herself. After some trouble, Dinah screamed White off her and into Green Arrow's grasp. The rest of the SCPD soon showed up led by Captain Frank Pike and took the criminals away and let the vigilantes go. After taking the criminals into the precinct, Dinah spotted Lance coming out of Warner's interrogation room. When Lance talked about Dinah taking up Laurel's mantle, Dinah told him she wasn't ready to replace her. However, Lance assured her that Laurel didn't want a replacement. Just someone to carry on her legacy.

When evidence was leaked that Oliver covered up the death of Officer Billy Malone, Dinah served on Mayor Queen's detail while he faced impeachment. Entering his office with his sister Thea Queen and Lance, Dinah agreed with Oliver that Prometheus was behind this and asked him what their next move was. Oliver didn't have one. Dinah then realized that as Oliver's detail, she was to remain outside his office and did so to blend in.

After Oliver's hearing, Dinah accompanied him in his limo's passenger seat. The extremist, Vigilante, then showed up to kill Oliver and caused the limo to crash. Dinah got out and screamed at Vigilante, causing a piece of his visor to break. Instead of attacking Dinah, Vigilante proceeded to threw a bola to incapacitate her. Vigilante was forced to retreat when the SCPD showed up. Dinah worked the scene of the attack and found the piece of Vigilante's mask she shot off. When contacting the team about it, Curtis believed he could track Vigilante with the piece using his T-Spheres, and recommended Dinah bring it back to base. Unfortunately, District attorney Adrian Chase showed up and insisted she log Vigilante's mask in for her. The next day at the precinct, while Pike was busy with Chase, Dinah swiped the piece and gave it to the team.

While Spartan, Wild Dog, and Mister Terrific went after Vigilante. Dinah stayed by Oliver's side. Just before Oliver went in front of the press condoning the Green Arrow for his actions, Dinah got a call from Felicity that Vigilante was on the sixth floor of a building across from them in sniper position ready to take Oliver out. She warned Oliver, but he was confident that the team can handle Vigilante. Dinah stood next to Oliver in dismay as he announced that Green Arrow and his team are to be hunted down and arrested. Dinah was later in the bunker with the others as Oliver arrived and revealed that he wasn't going to be impeached. Oliver then thanked Dinah and everyone else for having his back through all of this.

After finding out Prometheus was Adrian Chase all along and that he had Susan Williams as his captive, Oliver told the others, minus Felicity, much to their horror. Dinah recommended going to Pike and telling him that Chase is Prometheus, but was reminded by Lance that they didn't have any evidence to support it. Diggle then sent sent Dinah and Curtis to Opal City to get Chase's mother as leverage.

Arriving at Amanda Westfield's house, the two discovered that it was cleared out. They deduced that Chase planned ahead and had his mother leave town. When they heard screaming coming from upstairs, they investigated and found video footage of Prometheus torturing Susan, much to their disgust. They took the footage back to the bunker and told Oliver that it was 30 seconds long, but no indication where they are. When Felicity showed up, Oliver asked Dinah, Diggle, and Curtis to give them the room to talk, to which they obliged.

Getting information from the hacker group Helix, Felicity was able to find where Chase is holding Susan. Dinah, Green Arrow, Wild Dog, and Mister Terrific arrived at an abandoned building while Spartan retrieved someone that would make Chase vulnerable. Hearing that there are many heat signatures in the building, the team split up to canvas more ground. Dinah went with Wild Dog, while Terrific went with Green Arrow. Checking a room, they discovered that the heat signatures were explosives and Dinah and Wild Dog became trapped. Terrific managed to get them out and escape in time to see Spartan coming out with a dying Doris. While Spartan tended to Doris, Dinah, Wild Dog, and Terrific went back in to find Oliver to find his bow. Returning to the bunker, the team got word that Susan made it to the SCPD and that Doris died on her way to Starling General. With no leads, Dinah and the other watched as Felicity went to Helix for help again.

Oliver was eventually let go after 6 days of torture, but disbanded the team for unknown reasons. Diggle, Felicity, and Curtis informed Dinah and Rene about this and they were shocked. Dinah wondered what Chase did to him, but the others opted not to know. The team decided, regardless of what Oliver said, to keep fighting for the city while Felicity works on Chase. Using equipment loaned by A.R.G.U.S., the team set up shop in Felicity's loft. After Dinah made fun of their communication devices, one the computers went off with an alert that there was a break in at Batoon Medical Research Laboratories.

Arriving at the laboratories, Dinah did a sweep and reported two men at the back entrance. Spartan ordered Dinah to not spill any blood to which complied and swiftly took out the two men. She then reported the back entrance was cleared of hostiles. They all converged on the remaining men, only to discover that it was Anatoly and his Bratva men. Anatoly then revealed that Oliver invited him to Star City to steal these drugs in exchange for taking Chase out.

The team regrouped at Felicity's loft the next day to discuss this latest development. Dinah questioned why Rene wasn't in City Hall with Oliver and Lance, but Diggle revealed that Lance banned him from City Hall until Chase was taken down. That night Curtis was discussing the role reversals and how Diggle was the new Oliver and he was the new Felicity, but then asked who the new Diggle was. Dinah and Rene answered at the same time. When Dinah didn't argue further about it, Curtis and Rene agreed that Dinah was the new Diggle. When a discussion broke out on why they're not letting the Bratva kill Chase, Dinah remained quite as Diggle explained that they aren't saving Chase, but Oliver. The computer in front of Dinah then started beeping, revealing Chase's trip to his safehouse. The team left to stop the Bratva.

Arriving in time to see the Bratva had already started their attack, Dinah used her sonic scream on three men and made way for Diggle and Rene to knock out the rest. A fight then broke out where Dinah took cover behind a car and fired on the Bratva men. Chase managed to escape, but not before Curtis retrieved a device to reveal him as Prometheus. Dinah rendezvous and picked Curtis up.

After being convinced by Diggle, Oliver asked the team, minus Felicity and Curtis, to help him stop the Bratva from continuing their thefts. He also revealed that he was afraid that he would've corrupted them if the team stayed. Dinah and Rene were more then willing to help stop Anatoly and prove that Chase was wrong about Oliver and donged their vigilante costumes.

Arriving at ZARN Corporations, the team split up in search of Anatoly and his men. After a while of searching, Dinah found some of Anatoly's men holding employees hostage. Dinah, at first, had difficulties. But with the assistance of Wild Dog and Spartan, Dinah was able to defeat the Bratva men and rescue the hostages.

Back at the bunker, Felicity and Curtis returned with evidence that confirms Chase is in fact Prometheus. Dinah volunteered to bring the evidence to the SCPD. But, before she does, Oliver shows her, and the rest of the team their costumes on the manikins where his old team's costumes used to be. After bringing the evidence to the SCPD, Dinah and Lance urged Officer Lopez to call the U.S. marshals to arrest Chase. Unfortunately, Chase escaped custody.

Working with A.R.G.U.S. to find Chase, the team tracked him to an arcade. Dinah went with Wild Dog and Mister Terrific, but became annoyed when they started arguing about a vintage arcade game. An A.R.G.U.S. agent then set off a bobby trap, turning the whole arcade on and setting off explosives and automatic weapons. Dinah, Wild Dog, and Terrific were able to defuse the situation, but not without A.R.G.U.S. agents being killed in the process.

After an A.R.G.U.S. agent named Jordan Pierce with ties to Chase was killed in an elevator, Dinah went with Oliver and A.R.G.U.S. director and Diggle's wife Lyla Michaels to investigate. Dinah noticed Lyla taking something from Pierce's dead body and was somewhat unnerved that Lyla claimed it was A.R.G.U.S. evidence. The three at first thought this was Chase tying up loose ends, but after seeing video surveillance, they believed Pierce's death was caused by a third party.

When the life another A.R.G.U.S. agent named Ditkoff was at risk of loosing her security key just like Pierce, Dinah rendezvous with the team to intercept the attackers. Coming in with Oliver on motorcycles, Dinah screamed and knocked two of the attackers out, while Oliver handled the third. Just when they were about to stop the last attacker from escaping with the security key, Spartan advised them to let them escape, as Felicity believed it would lead them to capture Prometheus.

When it was deduced that Felicity and her group Helix had gone too far with wanting to rescue known cyber criminal Cayden James, Dinah and the team, minus Rene, opted to stop them. When they attacked A.R.G.U.S.'s black ops facility to rescue James, Dinah was able to hold off the armed men. But unfortunately, Felicity and Helix were able to free Cayden James and escape. Returning to the bunker, Dinah knew they should give Oliver space and left with Diggle and Curtis.

When there appeared to be no power to the bunker and an explosion was heard, Dinah, Rene, and Curtis went to Diggle's apartment for his assistance. Arriving there, the three found some marital issues going on between Diggle and Lyla. Determining that Oliver and Felicity were trapped in the bunker, the five planned to get them out. While Dinah, Rene, Curtis, and Diggle went to the bunker, Lyla would get the supplies they needed.

At the entrance to the bunker, Dinah and Diggle monitored Curtis and Rene's progress as they tried cutting through the elevator. Dinah was amused listening to Curtis and Rene bicker and joked that they would make a great couple. Dinah then noticed how off Diggle was and asked if everything was alright between him and Lyla. To help ease Diggle's worries, she told him how she and her partner Vincent kept things from each other because it was their job. Lyla arrived with the supplies Curtis needed.

Rene and Curtis came back up after an explosion in the elevator halted their efforts. Using knowledge from one of her undercover ops, Dinah recommended using hydrochloric acid to melt through the titanium hatch. Rene and Curtis returned after trying Dinah's suggestion and revealed that it would take more acid then they have to melt the hatch. Lyla returned with a modified version of Curtis's T-Sphere they could use.

Curtis was able to use the improved T-Sphere to break a wall in the bunker. Using the T-Sphere's surveillance, Dinah and the team were able to see that Oliver and Felicity were ok. Dinah and the team were able to rescue Oliver and Felicity before the bunker could explode and kill them, but Oliver was severely injured. Getting him to A.R.G.U.S.'s headquarters, Dinah and the others were releaved to know Oliver was going recover.

When a dead body by the name of Henry Goodwin was sent to Oliver's office by Chase, Dinah was on the scene investigating. She informed Oliver and Lance that Goodwin has no connection to Chase and chocked him sending the body because he's crazy. Oliver asked Dinah to pull any forensics that are on the body and find a connection to either Chase or his father, Justin Claybourne. Pulling forensics, Dinah was saddened to find Oliver's father's, Robert Queen, DNA on the body. When Lance showed up at the SCPD, Dinah gave him the forensics report, much to his shock. The two went to City Hall and told Oliver, and the returning Thea, the news. Dinah then brought some pieces of evidence to Felicity and Curtis to look at.

Dinah and Mister Terrific were later staking out one of the convicted criminals that were released because Chase prosecuted them, Derek Sampson. They found that Sampson was running guns, but didn't have enough evidence to move on him. When Sampson was moving out, Dinah and Curtis were about to follow when Overwatch contacted them, saying Oliver and Spartan were in trouble at Oliver Enterprises. The two arrived just in time to save Oliver and Spartan from sinking in cement. Back at the bunker the team learned that while Dinah and Terrific were saving Oliver and Spartan, Sampson made off with two of the three chemicals Chase's father used to weaponize tuberculosis. They deduced that Sampson must be working with Chase. Lance and Rene then entered saying they may have found someone who can help with the Goodwin mystery; a lawyer named Darren Coffman who represented both Goodwin and Claybourne.

Dinah and Terrific were able to track Sampson to Fairbanks Chemical. A laboratory that had the third chemical Sampson needed called cyclotrizane. Oliver met up with them. The three were able to take down many of Sampson's men, but were unable to stop him from escaping with the cyclotrizane. While Dinah and Terrific tested the samples, Oliver was called back by Thea. With the sample they got, Curtis was able to deduce that what Chase was planning would be worse then what his father planned with no cure. Wanting all hands on deck, Oliver asked Dinah where Rene was and she told him he was with Lance handling something personal.

Tracking Sampson and the chemicals to Robert Queen Applied Sciences Center, Dinah and Wild Dog were in position on the roof waiting for Oliver's, who had taken on the Green Arrow name again, gave the order. Green Arrow, however, was busy fighting Prometheus, so Dinah and Wild Dog joined Spartan and Terrific in fighting Sampson. When he was on the verge of killing Wild Dog, Dinah saved him by using her scream against Sampson. Terrific was then able to stop the spread of the virus and Green Arrow was able to capture Prometheus. With Prometheus in A.R.G.U.S. custody and the city safe, the team went out to drink to celebrate.

Later missions
After joining the SCPD, she would eventually be promoted to the rank of lieutenant. She continued to be a member of Team Arrow and became close friends with Rene and Curtis. She also became friends with Quentin Lance who eventually gave her the codename of Black Canary after his late daughter.

Dinah would meet Black Siren, the Earth Two doppelganger of Laurel Lance and the two would end up in a feud with Black Siren always defeating Dinah every time they fought even when Dinah was armed with a weapon and Laurel was not.

Dinah eventually discovered the identity of Vigilante to be her old partner Vincent Sobel, she allowed him to go and he started sending her texts and leaving her gifts.

Crisis on Earth-X
When Nazis from Earth-X invaded Earth One to conquer it, Black Canary, Wild Dog, and Mister Terrific assisted in fending them off. The three were present at S.T.A.R. Labs when Oliver's Earth-X doppleganer attacked and defeated Killer Frost and Heatwave. After brief fight, the archer quickly defeated the three and locked them up in the Pipeline along with Cisco Ramon, Harry Wells, Killer Frost, and Heatwave. She tried breaking out using her sonic scream, to no avail. When Cisco and Harry started arguing, Canary asked Killer Frost if the two would be arguing the entire time they were imprisoned, to which she cheekfully said, yes.

Eventually, after being freed by the Legends, Canary joined the other heroes on the Waverider, planning their next move. Canary was present when Earth-X Oliver contacted them, demanding them to hand over Supergirl in exchange for leaving Earth One peacefully. Green Arrow denied and the heroes prepared for the final battle. Learning the Earth-Xers were in Central City, Canary joined her team, Team Flash, the Legends, Supergirl, Alex Danvers, and the heroes of Earth-X: The Ray and Leo Snart in the battle. The conflict ended with the Earth-Xers defeat and their Earth saved.

Establishing a new team
Dinah eventually confronted him and told him to leave town, unfortunately for her, Oliver discovered that a member of Team Arrow had betrayed him and setting him up to be arrested and sent to prison, and he discovered the meeting between Dinah and Vincent. Oliver confronted Dinah and accused her of being the traitor, but Rene stepped forward and admitted to being the traitor. Dinah still remained in the team but when Oliver kicked out Rene after he went off on his own, he gave everyone a speech about trust in which Dinah agreed and told him that she didn't trust Oliver anymore and left the team. She later met up with Vincent and told him that she needed a friend she could trust.Five weeks after leaving Team Arrow and reconnecting with Vince, Dinah along with Curtis and Rene created a new team one that would protect Star City and be rival to their former team. Dinah found out Vince was part of Cayden James' criminal cabal heartbroken and outraged she confronted him. However, Vince easily overtook her when he saw that she wouldn't easily be calmed down and listen to him. She eventually found out later that he was in fact undercover and his feelings for her were still real. However, upon witnessing his death for real, she swore vengeance and said Black Siren was at the top of her kill list.

Becoming captain of the Star City Police Department
Sometime after Ricardo Diaz's downfall and Oliver Queen's (wrongful) incarceration, Dinah had been reinstated as the police lieutenant, eventually became the police captain of the Star City Police Department.

Potential future
Sometime before 2039, Dinah led Roy Harper underground to escape from the SCPD. It is unknown whether this caused her to lose her captain position. However years later, she became one of the few vigilantes protecting Star City alongside her successor: Rene's daughter Zoe Ramirez.

In 2039, Dinah saved William Clayton and Roy from some SCPD officers at Smoak Technologies, and revealed that the people in the Glades had revolted and isolated themselves from Star City, while the SCPD abandoned the city and became a defense force for the people in the Glades.

As they were joined by Zoe, William reveals he and Roy were following a trail that led him to Smoak Technologies, where he found a Rubik's Cube that projects a hologram of the Glades. When he claimed Felicity must have set this up, Dinah revealed that Felicity was believed to be dead.

Legacy
In a potential future that Eobard Thawne hails from, Black Canary is one of the several heroes remembered in the "Age of Heroes", whether this refers to Dinah or her predecessor Laurel Lance is unknown.

Personality
Before being subjected to inhumane torture and witnessing Vincent Sobel's death, Dinah was presumably a happy and carefree individual who cared deeply for the ones she loved. She even went far to legally change her name to keep her family safe as she went undercover in Sean Sonus' gang. Dinah never revealed to anyone she was a meta-human following the particle accelerator's explosion and cut all ties with her former life the day following Vince's funeral.
 * -|As a civilian=

Unable to understand herself and the powers she gained, Dinah started to travel all over the USA, protecting those who needed help. Still wired like a detective, she kept track of Sean's movement, which paid off in killing him. However, she admitted to Oliver that killing him didn't give her closure, despite making sure that one less killer was on the street.
 * -|As Black Canary=

Dinah stated to John that since Vincent's death she never had a normal life, so he convinced her to move on and take up a job at the SCPD, which she eventually agreed to. After joining the team she was shown to have a jovial personality among the members and she was shown getting along with them very well, especially with Curtis and Rene and even being concerned about them, willing to risk her life to ensure their safety, she can also be quite probing into people's personal problems, shown when she tries to make sure Quentin doesn't go back to drinking and showing concern for John when he was distracted and unable to shoot properly in the field due to his nerve damage, she eventually even pressed him to tell Oliver, though he did not. Dinah is very similar to Helena Bertinelli and Laurel Lance. The difference between Helena and Dinah, both of them had the same vendetta, but Dinah has a lot of remorse. She can be forgiven and took responsibility for everything.

When Dinah discovers that Vigilante is in fact her ex-boyfriend, Vincent Sobel, she was not only shocked to discover that he was alive, but horrified at what Vincent had become. Despite claiming to John that she would take down her ex-boyfriend the next time she encountered him, she ultimately chose to let him escape, indicating that she is still had unresolved affection for Vincent, despite the ruthless vigilante he had become.

Dinah has a sense of justice, honor and good morals; when she learns that Oliver had her on surveillance (as he believed she was the witness that will testified against him in court - regarding his identity as Green Arrow) she became completely disgusted by his actions and more so when she discovers that even John Diggle and Felicity Smoak did not trust her simply because she was meeting with her ex-boyfriend, even after she had genuinely proven herself trustworthy and after Oliver (unfairly) kicked out Rene of the team - Dinah finally left the team, having lost complete trust and respect for Oliver.

Later, when Oliver finally apologizes for his unfair/unjust treatment towards her, along with Rene and Curtis, and despite the sincerity of his apology, Dinah could not return to the team, having lost complete trust and respect for the original members of Team Arrow - firstly for the violation of her privacy and trust, but foremost because they never trusted her in the first place and did not treat her as an equal, as she felt strongly that she could not be part of a team where there was no trust.

After Vincent's death, this time for real, Dinah returned to her ruthless and destructive ways, she wanted to kill Earth Two Laurel Lance due to her being the one who had killed her boyfriend, claiming that she was obtaining justice for Vincent's death, when this was an act of pure vengeance that regularly clouded her judgement (this was similar to how Helena Bertinelli had justified her actions; regarding her fiancé, Michael Staton's death) and was determined to kill Laurel the same way she killed Vincent, however, when she was given the opportunity to actually do this, Curtis was able to talk her down, after this, Dinah resolved to imprison Laurel instead of kill her.

However, Dinah would never be able to bring Laurel justice; after the latter reveals herself to the public (pretending to be her late Earth One counterpart) making it impossible to imprison Laurel, as she can't even reveal to the public that the latter is the doppelgänger of Earth One Laurel from a parallel universe.

After a few months of bitterness over her inability to bring Laurel to justice, Dinah comes to regret how harsh she was with her former teammates, causing her to agree to join Team Arrow once again and sincerely apologizing for what she did. She even has come to forgive Laurel, to the point that when she had her in a position where she could have killed Laurel, as Laurel was not able to use her powers, she instead frees her and helps her fend off Diaz's men.

Powers

 * Meta-human physiology: After Dinah was struck by the energy of the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator explosion, her DNA and cells were altered to augment her vocal cords.
 * Superhuman sonic scream: Dinah is able to emit a high frequency scream that comes from her voice, with the highest known frequency her scream can reach being 183 decibels. Dinah's scream can produce enough force to launch a full-grown human and other heavy objects back several feet, kill a human being by causing internal hemorrhaging or snapping their neck at close-range, and easily turn over a moving armored truck. She can even emit a scream powerful enough to stop a moving train. Dinah can also use the sonic waves of her scream for levitation, as shown when she directed a falling John Diggle towards a building Alex Faust was fleeing to. Dinah is immune to her own powers and her scream is stated to be more refined than Laurel Lance's.

Abilities

 * Peak of human physical condition: As a trained policewoman and vigilante, Dinah is in top physical condition. Her strength allows her to take on and swiftly incapacitate much larger adversaries. During a fight with Laurel Lance, Dinah was able to flip Laurel over her shoulder. Her reflexes are fast enough for her to easily dodge Laurel's sonic screams and push Emily Pollard out of the way of a sniper's bullets. Dinah's durability and resilience are remarkable since she was able to recover with no visible injuries after being knocked down by an explosion from a sonic scream battle and pinned underneath heavy rubble. Her conditioning allows her to recover from most injuries very quickly, though not superhumanly.
 * Acrobatics/Free-running: Dinah is very nimble, having developed free-running and parkour skills. She can drop from a height of several feet without injuring herself.
 * Honed senses: Dinah has sharp hearing and sight, as well as keen skills of perception. She is able to pick up an incoming danger and react extremely quickly. For example, she instantly deduced a sniper's presence and was able to save the target.
 * Keen intellect/Expert tactician: Dinah is a very sharp-witted individual and a capable tactician. As an undercover cop, she has excellent skill in subterfuge, having successfully worked underground in and dismantled multiple criminal gangs/organizations. As a police detective, she is an experienced tracker, having formulated a network to figure out where Sean was hiding. She was even able to track down Laurel on her own in her pursuit of revenge. Dinah gained multiple skills from her undercover work, which she utilizes as a vigilante. Dinah has considerable knowledge in safe-cracking, having once worked undercover in a safe-cracking gang. Using these skills, she came up with the idea to use hydrochloric acid to weaken the titanium hatch of an EMP-impacted Arrowcave to rescue Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak, which would also ensure that the high levels of leaking methane gas wouldn't be ignited.
 * Expert deceiver: Dinah spent three years undercover in Sean Sonus's gang without being caught.
 * Expert combatant/Martial artist: As a former field police detective and vigilante, Dinah is a highly competent unarmed fighter as seen in several sightings of her. In one of her sightings she was able to subdue three men much larger than herself with relative ease. After taking on the mantle of Black Canary, Dinah is now able to defeat several criminals at once with and without weapons, fight almost at par for a while with China White and effectively hit Vincent Sobel. However, Dinah's combat abilities are inferior to those of Black Siren, with the latter managing to defeat her twice. After a few more months of training and the death of Vincent Sobel, Dinah's skills have greatly improved, as was seen when he easily hit John Diggle while his right arm was injured, disarmed and knocked Quentin Lance down when he had her gun and could have killed Laurel in her first fight if Quentin had not intervened. In her last encounter with Black Siren, Dinah hit her repeatedly and finally subdued her by throwing her on the ground. Dinah has the ability to stand firm against Silencer, who is a member of the Longbow Hunters, but was finally defeated.
 * Expert markswoman/Firearms: Having been a high-ranking police officer in two different cities, Dinah is trained in the usage of at least standard firearms. During a shootout with Sean Sonus' men, she was able to effectively fire even while dodging incoming shots. Dinah was also able to shoot Laurel in the stomach despite being pushed back by her scream.
 * Expert stick fighter: Dinah learned bo-staff fighting during an undercover mission with The Pilgrims. She uses a bo-staff while sparring with John, who praised her skills. Since joining Team Arrow, bo-staff fighting has become Dinah's signature tactic in battle against her adversaries.
 * Indomitable will/High pain tolerance: Despite her personal demons, Dinah is a very resilient and driven women, having spent three years alone hunting down her boyfriend's killer. When Vincent was murdered by Laurel, Dinah was relentlessly determined to get revenge and this empowered her to the point that whereas she was previously trounced by Laurel, Dinah was able to nearly overpower her later on. Dinah also has a very high tolerance for pain; despite two weeks of brutal torture from Sonus's men, she remained defiant throughout and refused to tell them anything. After crashing into a rail with pottery due to a shockwave from a sonic scream battle with Laurel, Dinah, despite being barely able to move for a few seconds, was able to get back up on her feet and continue fighting alongside her team. Similarly, Dinah was able to quickly stand up after being thrown against some cars by Laurel's scream and pinned underneath large debris by Cayden James' bomb.
 * Stealth: Dinah has skills in stealth. She was able to ambush Vigilante as he tried to kill Emily Pollard and Laurel as she tried to flee Star City.

Weaknesses

 * Power-dampening tech: Like most meta-humans, Dinah's powers can be neutralized by using power-dampening tech.
 * Vocal cords: Presumably like Laurel, if someone is able to grip Dinah's throat tight enough, she is unable to use the scream to defend herself.

Former equipment

 * Black Canary suit: Dinah wears a protective black leather suit as Black Canary, to hide her identity from her enemies, when she goes out fighting crime. She was presented by Felicity with a mask to wear in the field to better protect her identity. After the death of Adrian Chase, Dinah received a new mask and suit. After Oliver reveals his the Green Arrow to the world team arrow broke up and Dinah stopped using her suit as a result of the vigilantism law.
 * Bo-staff: Dinah carries a bo-staff as her signature weapon.
 * Expandable batons: After a while of being the Black Canary, Dinah starts using a pair of Black expandable batons to fight which are capable of combine into a bo-staff.
 * Sonic amplifier: A device created by Curtis Holt that allows Dinah to more easily focus her Canary Cry and bypass the effects of a sonic dampener.
 * Leather jacket: Before joining Team Arrow, on missions, Dinah wore a leather jacket for her gear.
 * Gloves: Before being recruited by Oliver, Dinah wore gloves suitable for her in fist-fighting.

Trivia

 * She is the only known character who has worked for both the CCPD and SCPD.
 * Vincent Sobel stated that he and Dinah were cops for nearly 10 years before the particle accelerator exploded. Assuming that they both joined the CCPD between at the age of 18-21 and including the three years between the accelerator explosion and Dinah becoming Black Canary, this puts Vincent and Dinah around the ages of 31-34.
 * Unlike Laurel Lance, Dinah initially didn't much control over her powers beyond "on and off." This may be due the fact that while Laurel most likely received training with her powers in Zoom's army, Dinah had to learn how to use her powers largely through self-teaching before being recruited into Team Arrow.

Behind the Scenes

 * In the DC comics, Dinah Drake (later known as Dinah Drake-Lance) is the first person to take on the legacy mantle of Black Canary and is also the mother of her successor, Dinah Laurel Lance. In the New 52 reboot, Dinah Lance (née Drake) is the only Black Canary ever existed on Prime Earth, with the two previous versions being combined into one.
 * On the show, the character is split into two altogether separate individuals; Dinah Drake, the meta-human Black Canary-in-training and Dinah Lance, the civilian mother of Sara and Laurel Lance, the Canary/White Canary and Black Canary, respectively.
