What Happened To Everyone Who Joined The Birds Of Prey?
11. Lady Black Hawk
Sadly, many members of the Birds of Prey have been lost to reboots, seemingly never to return. For my money, the biggest loss out of all of the characters discarded is the Birds' hard fighting, hard partying, hard drinking pilot, Lady Black Hawk.
The Black Hawks were a WW II squad of fighter pilots shooting Nazis with experimental fighter jets. However, due to shenanigans, Zinda Blake was launched into the future just in time to bury her last remaining teammate. Forced to act as a glorified ad campaign for the now shipping and transport based Black Hawk company, Zinda practically leaped at Black Canary's offer to act as the pilot of their new mobile headquarters.
Zinda is the life of the party wherever she goes, not as violent as Huntress, but just as eager to climb down any bottle that slides down the bar her way, and just as eager to hop on anything with an XY chromosome that passes by. But if you're looking for a fight, what you'll find are two high caliber pistols pointed right at your face.
Unfortunately, as I said, Zinda was discarded entirely when the DC universe rebooted itself in 2011. Considering that it's been about a decade since we last saw her, sadly I wouldn't hold my breath on this excellent character returning. But then, a few years back I said the same thing about Wally West.
