Dinah Soar

Dinah Soar was created for Marvel Comics and first appeared in West Coast Avengers (vol. 2) #46 (July 1989). Sources credit John Byrne (per cited comic-era summaries) as part of the creative context for characters introduced in that period. In-universe she is described as having been born in the Savage Land; canonical sources state that her lineage is never revealed and it is unknown whether she is a mutant, alien, or of some other origin.

Dinah Soar is depicted as a humanoid pterosaur with a pterosaur-like physiology that enables powered flight. Specifics of coloration, costume, or exact morphological detail beyond the pterosaur-like description are not provided in the cited sources. In characterization she does not speak English and instead communicates by chirps.

Cited descriptions attribute to Dinah Soar a physiology adapted for high-speed flight, a hypersonic voice that allows projection of inaudible sound waves, and an empathic rapport specifically capable of calming teammate Mr. Immortal when he becomes overwhelmed after resurrection. She functions within stories as a founding member of the Great Lakes Avengers and is killed during the G.L.A. miniseries by the antagonist Maelstrom with an energy blast.
