Arrow: Ranking Every Version Of The Black Canary From Worst To Best

6. Evelyn Sharp

Evelyn Sharp may have grown into one of the more intriguing and subsequently infuriating characters in Arrow's fifth season, but her arrival in the fourth was nothing short of ridiculous.

After having killed off the actual Black Canary, the writers introduced Evelyn as a thief in the following episode who stole Laurel's Canary Cry collar and attempted to make use of the mantle for her own gain. A contrived nonsensical plot in a bid to force Quentin to believe that his daughter was still alive, it saw the poor imitation nearly end up making a mockery out of the Black Canary's legacy - but we didn't need her to do that because, at this point, Arrow already had.

Insensitive, infuriating and completely unnecessary, 'Canary Cry' was an example of Arrow at its creative worst and it's downright baffling that the writers expected us to even care about Evelyn after killing off the actual Black Canary.
