Equipment[]
- Black Canary suit: Dinah wears a protective black leather suit as Black Canary to hide her identity from her enemies when she goes out fighting crime. She was presented by Felicity Smoak with a mask to wear in the field to better protect her identity. After the death of Adrian Chase, Dinah received a new mask and suit. After Oliver Queen revealed his secret identity to the world, Team Arrow broke up and Dinah stopped using her suit as a result of the vigilantism law. However, she donned her suit again when the rest of the team were deputized. By 2411, Dinah's suit was upgraded with a hood to hide her identity and she has stopped wearing a mask.
