I think Banshee has the edge here in fighting experience; smarts and the ability to fly though I think Black Canary is more violent minded and aggressive; be a very close match up to go either way unless Banshee just picked her up, flew and dropped her; which is very doubtful he would do.

A middle-aged Irish guy who can maybe box, fly and has a sonic scream vs. a somewhat younger woman who is one of the top 10 martial artists in the world and has a sonic scream.
I see Banshee going home and having a beer, because who needs a bodycast.

BC isn't immune to sonic attacks, and Banshee basically is.
Banshee's ability is considerably more powerful then Canary's.
Yeah, if it comes to hand to hand, she's gonna kick his ass.
But he can freaking fly, and do mass AoE's that she can't dodge. Unless she takes it to tight quarters where he has no range, she's going to lose.

I have to give this one up to Black Canary. While Banshee has the more powerful and adjustable ability, BC has the combat experience and tactical capabilities he just does not have. He has had his rear end handed to him more than once by weaker opponents.
Banshee. He's basically an irish james bond. Plus his power level is a magnitude greater then Canary's.
Does Canary have Oracle talking in her ear?
I hate to say I'd give it to Banshee if he really let go. If he showed any kind of restraint, Canary.

i assume in these comparisons as a default that through whatever circumstances as a premise both of those involved will go "all out".
Oooh, Black Canary's got the fishnets......True. She can't use the canary cry if she's laughing too hard at Sean's costume.
Advantage, Banshee.
What if Canary wears her circa 1985 "disco martial artist" monstrosity?
As for the versus, I'm not normally one to participate in these things because it's basically "who is your favorite character of the two"? But I gotta say, Canary was trained by Lady Shiva. And she survived that, she can survive anything. She can also very precisely direct her sonic blasts (see the issue before last of Birds of Prey as an example). I can see her countering Banshee's powers with her own precise blasts and then moving in to take him out with a swift attack. (What, it could happen in comic books. Screw physics! ;) ) (Also, my favorite is Canary. :) )

(I couldn't find the one of him in costume smoking a pipe.)

IDK, Matthew, she has boob wings and he just has arm flaps. Plus her boots are far more ridiculous. :)

Those boots do seem like they would catch air and produce drag whenever she tried to kick someone, and that's like, her thing.
Indeed, I'm not sure if it's deliberate, but she looks very Olivia Newton-John-ish in that picture... Was she perhaps auditioning for a part in Xanadu?
Anywho, +1 to whoever said Black Canary on the ground, Banshee if he can shoot her from the sky. If she gets her hands on him, she'll clean his clock.
If she's got her little comm-thingie that lets her access the JLA transporter, she might also be able to counter his mobility advantage, not that anyone in the League ever think to use the transporters that way... Batman, cunningest weasel on the planet, still swings around on a rope, despite having a teleporter in his pocket. Doofus.

waitaminute -boob wings? Black canary wins this one. Its not even a contest.
Boob wings FTW.
What he said.

Give it up for the bird.
nice discussion guys; thanks. I thought these two pretty evenly matched with give in take in certain situations that favored their particular styles.
I go with Banshee because BC is a hand to hand fighter and Banshee has shown his is not adverse to shooting someone if he needs to.
And then Wolverine kills 'em both, because he's Wolverine and he does stuff like that from time to time.
Wasn't Banshee in SHIELD for a while?
Pretty sure he can box.
That's not gonna beat "Martial Artist trained by, in addition to a number of other excellent masters, Lady Shiva."
I agree with the others that if Banshee were to beat Black Canary, it would likely be from range and by surprise (and it's not easy to surprise her).

This remains one of the more interesting fights. Banshee edges her out in raw power, but Black Canary remains more skilled. I wholeheartedly agree that Banshee would take out Black Canary by range and surprise.
There is a reason he is called Banshee.
