CHATBOT: **Alternative Origin Story for the Birds of Prey (DC Comics Redefined)** **The Year 2015: The Formation** In an alternate timeline, the Birds of Prey were not formed by Barbara Gordon (Oracle) or Dinah Lance (Black Canary) but instead emerged from a secret division of ARGUS dedicated to handling supernatural and extraterrestrial threats.
