Dinah Soar is a fictional superheroine appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. [1] Her name is a pun on the word "dinosaur".
Dinah Soar was created by John Byrne, and first appeared in West Coast Avengers (vol. 2) #46 (July 1989).
Dinah Soar is a humanoid pterosaur who was born in the Savage Land. Her lineage is never revealed and it is unknown if she is a mutant or of alien descent. [2]
Dinah became a founding member of the Great Lakes Avengers when Mr. Immortal first assembled the team. [3] She possesses the ability to calm Immortal when he becomes overwhelmed with stress and rage after resurrection. [4] Dinah is unable to speak English and communicates with chirps. [5] [2]
She was first seen in public with the team by Hawkeye and Mockingbird, who later agreed to become their mentors. [6]
In the G.L.A. mini-series, the Great Lakes Avengers battle Maelstrom, who is attempting to destroy the universe. During the battle, Maelstrom kills Dinah with an energy blast. [3] [7] [2] Doorman is also killed in the battle and meets Dinah in the afterlife, where she is seen playing cards with deceased GLA members Monkey Joe and Grasshopper. [8]
Dinah Soar possesses a pterosaur-like physiology that enables her to fly at high speeds. She has a hypersonic voice that allows her to project inaudible sound waves, as well as an empathic rapport capable of calming Mr. Immortal after he resurrects. [4] [7] [2] [9] [10]
The original GLA lineup, which has remained remarkably consistent over the past 27 years, consisted of: Dinah Soar, a pterodactyl-esque hero of an unknown species, who used her sonic voice as a weapon and only communicated with Mr. Immortal. After consistently turning up in supporting roles, the GLA took the lead in 2005's "GLA" limited series by Dan Slott and Paul Pelletier. Shoved into the spotlight, the team faced their biggest trial yet when they fought massively powerful Maelstrom. The battle killed founding GLAer Dinah Soar and pushed Doorman and Flatman to go on a recruitment drive for new members.
The final two members are Dinah Soar, a large pink pterodactyl woman that speaks in trills and chirps, and Big Bertha, a fashion model who can turn herself into an incredibly obese woman with super strength and durability. Visually the team sticks out and is sure to pique people's curiosity.
A being from the Savage Land, this hero was never confirmed to be either a mutant or alien, but she went on to become a founding member of the Great Lakes Avengers after leaving the Savage Land. Unable to speak English, her history is not as well-known, but she used her natural empathic abilities to calm the rage inside Mr. Immortal every time he was brought back to life. She had razor tipped wings and limited sonar abilities, but sadly she lost her life in the battle against Maelstrom.
