Laurel Lance (Earth-2)


 * For her Earth One equivalent, see Laurel Lance.

"Laurel Lance is dead. On this Earth anyway. Poor Black Canary, bye-bye birdie."

- Black Siren to Barry Allen

Laurel Lance, nicknamed Black Siren, is a meta-human from Earth Two and a high-ranking lieutenant of Zoom's meta-human group.

Becoming a meta-human
Around 2013 Laurel was one of the many affected by Harrison Wells' particle accelerator, and gained the power to emit sonic screams powerful enough to kill people within seconds and take down buildings. Following this, she became a criminal named "Black Siren" and employed into Zoom's army. She was one of his enforcers in Central City. At some point she emerged as a high-ranking lieutenant of Zoom along with Cisco Ramon/Reverb.

Invading Earth One
As part of his plan to conquer Earth-1, Zoom brought over his entire army of meta-humans which included Laurel who he ordered to attack various buildings at random. Laurel also learned of her Earth-1 doppelgänger and her death, yet felt little remorse for it. Laurel first attacked Mercury Labs and leveled the entire building, but the Flash was able to save everyone inside. Next, Laurel lured out the Flash into the streets. He was shocked to see her as he knew her Earth-1 counterpart. Laurel used her sonic cry to weaken the Flash and then physically attacked him, but before she could kill him, Wally West ran his car into her and helped the Flash escape.

Laurel later met up with Hunter at the Central City Police Department precinct, gloating of her defeat over Flash but questioned why she was attacking buildings at random. Hunter explained that he needed the Flash distracted so that he wouldn't see his real plan coming until it was too late. When Laurel asked what his plan was Hunter simply replied "no good", leaving Laurel visably confused and slightly disturbed.

Laurel, as instructed, went to demolish another building but was confronted by "Reverb" and "Killer Frost", much to Laurel's confusion as she believed them dead. "Reverb" and "Killer Frost" seemingly made an offer to overthrow Zoom by teaming up together and Laurel appeared to consider the offer, but was skeptical and tossed a brick to "Reverb". When he caught it with his right hand, Laurel realized that "Reverb" and "Frost" where actually their Earth One doubles Vibe and Earth-1 Caitlin Snow. As Laurel tried to kill them, Vibe hit her with a sonic blast, activated subconsciously, and was unable to do so again. Unfazed, Laurel simply tried to kill them again, but was disoriented and knocked out by a device Dr. Wells set up to render all Earth-2 humans unconscious.

After falling unconscious, Laurel was locked up in the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator, where she attempted to get out, though her sonic scream had no effect on the soundproof cell. Caitlin considered telling Sara and Quentin, the sister and father of Laurel's deceased Earth-1 counterpart, about Earth-2 Laurel, but Barry voted against the idea, not wanting to ruin their memory of the Laurel they knew and loved.

Personality
Unlike her Earth One counterpart, who was a compassionate and loving, young woman, Laurel revels in the destruction that she causes with her powers, showing several cruel and sadistic traits. She was even unphased about the death of her Earth One counterpart. Hunter Zolomon himself commended her on her abilities and seems to possess some level of respect for her, given on how he is willing to converse with her without his mask and as evidence to her status as one of his top lieutenants. She has been shown to be prideful to the point of being arrogant and overconfident which lead to Wally West almost killing her with a car. However, she is also very intelligent and observant as she quickly realized that Cisco and Caitlin were not their Earth Two doubles, as they were pretending to be.

Powers

 * Sonic scream: Laurel is able to emit a high frequency scream, that comes from her voice. The highest known frequency the scream can reach is 250 decibels. Her scream is so strong that it can launch a full-grown human or meta-human, even potentially killing them, and also cause tremendous damage to the area, as one shout caused a tremor that took down all of Mercury Labs. She is well known for collapsing buildings with her powers on both Earths One and Two.

Abilities

 * Hand-to-hand combatant: Laurel has proficiency in unarmed combat. While striking at the Flash while he was disoriented by her sonic scream, she demonstrated a graceful and well-coordinated series of punches and kicks.

Equipment

 * Black Siren suit: Laurel wears a black leather suit while terrorizing her victims as Black Siren.

Trivia

 * Like the DC comic version of Black Canary, Laurel possesses the meta-human ability of a super sonic scream, which she can deploy to shatter objects and incapacitate her opponent; however, unlike her Earth One counterpart, she is a villain, instead of a hero.
 * It is unknown if Earth Two Laurel had a relationship with Oliver Queen.
 * Following the controversial death of her Earth One counterpart, fans have speculated that Earth Two Laurel may take Earth One Laurel's mantle as Black Canary.

Behind the scenes

 * Black Siren is the alias of Donna Nance, a founding member of the Justice Guild of America, in an alternate Earth, from the TV series, Justice League. The character herself was actually based on the Golden Age Black Canary.
