Black Canary is quite possibly my most used figure from World's Finest. Probably my favorite army (or army core as it's easy to expand) with her is:

Black Canary, Oracle, Green Arrow (I), Red Arrow, Robin (Dick Grayson) at 700 points.

This army works very nicely with each other and is really built around Black Canary's strengths. You want to get the Archers in position to snipe and then charge Black Canary up with Robin beside her, use Robin as a screen to absorb enemy attacks, then weaponize Black Canary based on her opponent.

If it's someone with normal attack immunities or if it's a big crowd, scream away with her special attack.

If it's a mid-level hero, engage and punch away.

Ideally you'll engage with at least one bad guy, so Green Arrow can nail them with Cupid's Arrow. Then you still get the bonding turn with Robin.

If Black Canary falls, Oracle saves her Order Markers and you switch to turns with Green Arrow and Red Arrow both sniping enemies.

Black Canary is a great offensive force for her points, but a glass cannon for sure. That's why I really love Oracle with her for that core of 300 points, because Oracle helps BC win initiative more often, helps her get more out of her attacks, and (most importantly) lets you load up on Order Markers on Black Canary without fear of losing any when Black Canary unexpectedly falls.

It's worth mentioning that a newer 400 point core for Black Canary (500 if you throw in Dick Grayson Robin) is with Green Arrow (II). He benefits from Cupid's Arrow as well, and can probably do more with it than Green Arrow (I). He can also use JL Markers to get in position more efficiently. But she really unlocks him in a way other figures can't.
