“Oh, this makes a lot of sense… I’m going to take on twelve armed men with nothing but my good looks and a quick wit.”

(yes these are all clips from barely lethal except the smallville ones let me live)

& can we talk about a few things that might make you say, internally, ‘step on me dinah drake’:

  • yes, she is the average frame, height and weight of a woman her age, but she is also able to, by DC’s canon? bench / lift at minimum her own body weight.
  • somewhat related to the above, she is one of the most talented martial artists on the planet; skilled in both rare and commonly known forms of martial arts.
  • she is considered to not simply be a strong leader, but she is said to be a brilliant strategist and tactician.
  • she has taken down both groups of people as well as those easily twice her size before with her fighting skills alone.
  • she does not need to rely on her metahuman gene that provides her ability for the canary cry (however useful it can and could be) to be of use in a fight or to any team she has been a part of.
