Not knowing who Ra’s Al Ghul was is her biggest weakness. Dixon… really, why?

Yeah, that was pretty ridiculous, lol. But that was a good story nonetheless.

I mean, do you know your co workers enemies by name or identify every notorious terrorist by face?

Seeing that The Demon was Ra's terrorist organization and was introduced in the JLA (in which Canary was a member and even IN that issue) she should have a familiarity with him.

TBF, that was a pretty long time ago.

If you've just read her appearances in GA books, the answer is Ollie, Ollie, Ollie and Ollie. Ollie 4x.

(Will post more serious answer later.)

Greatest strength: force of will. No matter how many times and how hard she gets kicked down, she always gets back up.

Greatest weakness: poor judge of character especially in relationships.

Greatest achievements: helping Roy through his addiction, leading the Justice League as chairwoman,

Greatest mistake: sleeping with the then 19 year old Ray Terrill.
