"I've been in a lot of bad relationships, so it's hard for me to accept a good one when it comes along."
—Allegra Garcia to her boyfriend, Chuck[src]

Allegra Garcia (born February 23, 1999)[1] is a meta-human with the ability to manipulate electromagnetic energy. She is a reformed criminal and a former member of Ultraviolet's gang. After clearing her name from being framed by her late cousin, Esperanza Garcia, Allegra became a writer of The Central City Citizen under Iris West-Allen and a member of Team Flash and Team Citizen. She is also the girlfriend of Chester P. Runk, and in a possible future, his wife. Allegra is also a friend/surrogate daughter of the late Harrison Nash Wells and a close friend of the late Frost.

Allegra found evidence Harrison Wells was alive but later discovered it was Nash Wells instead. Later, she helped Nash and he revealed to her The Monitor, the multiverse, and the Flash's secret identity, Barry Allen. Allegra joined Team Flash and helped out in their missions. After Nash sacrificed himself for the new Speed Force for Barry to get his powers back, Allegra helped rebuild Central City and tried her best to help Frost. Later, Allegra looked for and tried to reach Esperanza but after multiple battles, her cousin died in her arms. After Esperanza's death, Allegra became the supervising editor for the newly evolved Central City Citizen Media.

After Armageddon, Allegra helped Team Flash defeat Deathstorm, a new killer in Central City, and the Negative Forces.

A matter of weeks after the Reverse-Flash’s final defeat, Red Death and The Rogues showed up forcing Team Flash to take action. It was also during that time that Allegra and Chester started to get serious in their relationship and take it to the next level, but Allegra got scared. In the end, Red Death was defeated, and Allegra stopped holding back with Chester, and the two are now dating.

Not long after Red Death’s defeat, the Negative Speed Force resurrected Eddie Thawne and transformed him into its new avatar as Cobalt Blue. During the final battle, Eddie summoned the Reverse-Flash to join the fight amongst others. Allegra fought as Wavelength throughout Central City, until Eobard Thawne escaped and went to S.T.A.R Labs. Chester fought Thawne, but was easily overpowered and killed by him. Chester’s powers brought him back a few minutes later, much to Allegra’s relief, and the two shared a kiss. Allegra was present at Barry and Iris’ party to celebrate baby Nora’s birth.

Biography[]

Original multiverse[]

Early life[]

Allegra Garcia was born on February 23, 1999 in Central City, into a family of criminals. Her father walked out on her when she was a baby.[2] Following in her family's footsteps, Allegra became a juvenile delinquent and was frequently in and out of juvenile facilities for committing various crimes. At the age of 13, she was once arrested by detective Joe West for robbing liquor stores. Joe often visited Allegra in juvie, but she would refuse to speak with him.

Allegra blasted by the particle accelerator explosion

Allegra blasted by the particle accelerator explosion.

On the night of December 11, 2013, Allegra got into a fight with her cousin, Esperanza, and her gang at the Juvenile Facility when she wanted out of the gang. Suddenly, the Particle Accelerator exploded and its energy surged across Central City. Allegra and Esperanza were blasted with the waves of the dark matter, giving them the same powers of electromagnetic manipulation, though Esperanza was presumed dead from the blast. When Allegra's powers were discovered, she was eventually transferred to the meta-human wing of Iron Heights Prison, despite being underage.[3]

Villainous cousin[]

Allegra believed that her cousin was still alive, due to a series of murders that involved people being burnt to death with pure UV radiation. A witness of one of the murders noticed the tattoo on Esperanza's neck which Allegra had a matching ratio of: as a result, Allegra was mistakenly arrested by CCPD. Given no one would believe her hunches about her cousin being alive, she decided to plead guilty. She was almost charged with the max sentence of all crimes committed until Cecile Horton sensed she wasn't guilty with her empathic abilities and held off further prosecution and told Judge Hankerson she had new evidence to stall until she knew the truth. Allegra eventually made bail.

Shortly after Allegra made bail she broke out of her meta cuffs and later went to the witness who claimed to have seen her at the scene of the crime due to Allegra and her cousin sharing the same tattoo. She went to the witness' apartment only to find him dead with ultraviolet burn covering his face. She was later seen by Iris West-Allen and Ralph Dibny in the apartment when they were also visiting the witness for an interview. Allegra in a panic accidentally blasted Ralph in the face with UV Blast and ran but was later caught by Joe West and arrested for a parole violation. Allegra later tried to explain to Joe that she didn't murder the witness and was only trying to talk to him in an attempt to prove her innocence. She was later approached by Cecile who demanded to know who killed the victims but Allegra refused as she believed they wouldn't believe her if she told them and asked for her lawyer.

Cecile guarding Allegra from Ultraviolet

Cecile guarding Allegra from Ultraviolet.

During interrogation Cecile opened up to Allegra about her empathetic abilities and as a result, Allegra finally opened up to Cecile about the night she got powers and revealed that her cousin was also hit and that she was convinced she was dead but also thinks she may have committed those crimes as the witness ID'd her off a tattoo she and her cousin shared though she was in doubt and said it was impossible. Cecile later contacted Iris and Ralph to check the juvenile records they had and see if they can pull up any file on Esperanza and they discovered she had been taken out of the custody of the juvenile facility and transferred to a very redacted organization revealing she had been alive the entire time. Shortly after Iris tried to warn Cecile their phone call was interrupted by an EMP causing the power at CCPD to go out. Esperanza attacked the officers are CCPD demanding they bring her Allegra or they would all burn. Cecile and Allegra later tried to escape but was later stopped by Esperanza. Allegra tried to convince Esperanza to stop and that she wasn't being herself. Esperanza confirmed her statement and said she only goes by the name Ultraviolet. She was unable to get through to her cousin. Cecile guarded Allegra and confronted Esperanza and told her she wouldn't let her hurt Allegra. They were almost blasted by Esperanza until The Flash showed up and fought off Ultraviolet and eventually was able to overpower her.[3]

Changing paths[]

A new job[]

After her cousin had been stopped and apprehended by the CCPD, Allegra was cleared of all charges and was released. With the help of Cecile, Allegra was able to find a job as an intern at The Central City Citizen and was then hired by Iris and was told by Kamilla Hwang[3] not to touch the vegan donuts.

The Central City Citizen office

The following week, Allegra found evidence about "Harrison Wells" being alive after a security camera recorded him breaking into McCulloch Tech. To her dismay though, when telling Iris about it, she kept her out of the story in order to cover up for who she things is Wells. Later, Allegra caught Iris and Cisco talking with the new Wells which made her angrily quit Central City Citizen as a result of learning that Iris lied to her about what would've potentially been a big story for her. Iris confronts her about it and explains that she will eventually tell the truth but not now. Allegra then decided to stay instead of quitting.[4]

Meeting Nash Wells[]

Two weeks later, she finds Harrison Wells in Iris's office and asks him a question about how he's alive. The man introduces himself as Nash Wells and is searching for something that emits ultraviolet. His device eventually makes him deduce that the "something" was, in fact, someone since it makes him aware that Allegra is a Meta-human that can emit ultraviolet. Nash tells Allegra that if she helps him, he will give her the scoop of the century. Later, in the sewers, Allegra is impressed by the story of The Monitor, the Multiverse and discovered that the Flash's identity was Barry Allen. When she tries to use her power to break the Monitor's wall, she fails. Later, Nash would encourage her to try again and reveals that he has figured out that she doesn't use her power by fear of becoming like her cousin. Allegra tries again and succeeds, giving enough time for Nash to take a picture of the Monitor's code. Allegra would return to The Central City Citizen with Nash tired about the big day she had with him. Nash than leaves after taking one last look at her, while she falls asleep on the couch.[5]

When Iris enters, she closes the computer and learns Intel about how Esperanza was recruited. She tries to tell Iris if she should not be working on something else but she declines. Later, she confronts Iris for keeping the secret that her husband is the Flash and tells her that she should start writing about that crisis. Allegra and Team Citizen to investigate the Black Hole.

Later, Allegra accepted Frost's help on Valentine's Day, but the events did not go as planned; Frost encouraged her to go to Jitters to reunite with Emerson Fairweather, but he was flirting with another woman, causing Allegra to decide that she was giving up on love. But apparently they decided to remain friends.[13]

Nash asks Allegra to assist him with a machine that will follow "particles" from another dimension. Allegra asks Nash for what reason he acts like he's known her forever, yet he stays away from the inquiry. He at that point sees a dream of the French Wells in his field of view. They attempt to turn on the machine, however it comes up short, and Nash's photo of himself and the doppelganger of Allegra drops out. Allegra sees the image and gets furious.[14]

After Rag Doll attacked Joe, Allegra and Nash promise to protect Cecile; however, after Allegra advises Nash to simply go, she's assaulted by Rag Doll. Nash appears and attempts to stop him, without much of any result and the reprobate follows Cecile next and hijacks her. Allegra and Nash worked on a machine to help fix the situation and managed.[15]

Allegra is present when Barry tells Team Flash that Iris, Kamilla, and David Singh are missing and probably trapped in the Mirrorverse. She volunteers to do research to help to find her co-workers and friends. Nash wants to assist her, but she harshly dismisses him. However, when Allegra and Barry are attacked by Godspeed, Nash is there to cause the speedster to flee. It is Allegra's retelling of the attack that helps Cisco to understand an aspect of the speedster's powers.

Later, Allegra listens as Barry gives a speech to inspire the members of Team Flash. When Cisco reveals that he needs to travel to Atlantis to get a component he needs to save their teammates, Allegra volunteers to accompany him; however, Barry denies her request, citing that he needs everyone else for his upcoming plan.[16]

Allegra went with Cecile Horton and Nash to Caitlin Snow's apartment to help Frost to pack; she was expecting her mother's arrival to take her to a facility to heal. Allegra becomes annoyed with Nash because he acts awkwardly around the women, so she takes over his packing duties. She does find an outfit she likes and gets permission from Frost to keep it.

She and Nash then go to the police precinct to meet with the other teammates; she questions why they are meeting there, so Barry explains that he does not want to lose his job with the other problems occurring. During the meeting, Ralph Dibny reveals the Black Hole diamond he's been carrying; Allegra senses the radiation that it is emitting. She focuses her power through it and a map appears that leads to a Black Hole warehouse. Before he leaves with Barry to investigate, Ralph gets the diamond back from her.

Later, Nash gives Allegra a red stone and tells her to use it if an emergency arises; an emergency occurs when Team Flash becomes bodyguards for Joseph Carver to protect him from Eva McCulloch's team. During the battle, Allegra focuses her powers through the stone and aims it at her combatant, Ultraviolet, causing her cousin to scream in pain and slowing her assault. However, the battle still does not go well for Team Flash and as they are surrounded and at their opponents' mercy, Eva McCulloch declares the battle ended, with Carver dead.

Allegra approaches Nash about the stone; he reveals that it makes one relive the worst moment of their lives. She takes his coffee and sips it, after earlier, lying to him that she hated coffee; a friendship builds.[17]

Nash's sacrifice[]

When Allegra comes in the Speed ​​lab, an idea sparks in Chester. He states that if Allegra uses her powers to contain the particles she will power the Artificial Speed Force to restore Barry's speed. They take a swing at it but Allegra is not able to contain the energy, Barry moves her out of the way to prevent her from getting hit but instead he's hit with the energy and all the Wells' have been transferred to his her mind. Allegra takes fault on what she did but Nash tells her they were just trying to help.

In the Med-Bay, the team tends Barry as they try to figure out what is going on with him. Gideon reveals that if the Wells stay in his mind, he will die. They blame themselves until Chester brings up they need an Organic receiver to diffuse the energy in, which Allegra discovers that Nash would die if she used him and becomes frustrated with him for lying to her. So she and Chester come up with a plan leaving Nash by himself.

Allegra tries to push the particles out of Barry back in Nash and the plan works. The team begins to worry on what to do as a Jet of Black Hole nears the city, in response Nash decides to give his life to the Artificial Speed ​​Force and all the Wells’ that he had worked with the team before saying their goodbye's to Barry.

When Barry's thinking became corrupted by the Artificial Speed Force, Allegra and Frost used several smoke bombs to transport The Flash back to S.T.A.R. Labs to try to neutralize him. But the quantum ball hits Cisco, who accidentally shoots Allegra, who hits Frost with ultraviolet energy and passes out.[19] Moments later, Allegra woke up and Barry had brought Iris back and returned to normal. Team Flash along with the newcomers Chester and Wells came together to come up with a plan to stop Eva, and after her defeat,[20] Allegra volunteered with the other members of Team Flash in the rebuilding of Central City.[21]

Trying her best[]

Frost's friend[]
"You want to help me? Cover my ass."
Frost to Allegra Garcia[src]

Allegra and Frost exercised together when Chester arrived and informed the ladies that Frost had a reward for her sighting issued by Kristen Kramer as well as being the prime suspect for an ice-related murder at Ivo Laboratories. Allegra became concerned because Frost said little and seemed to accept what was occurring; Allegra asked her friend what she was thinking. Frost attempted that she planned to pursue the criminal herself, but she wanted Allegra to cover for her because Team Flash asked Frost to allow Barry, Joe, and Chester to handle the problem. Allegra wanted to help further but she agreed. When Chester called later to warn Frost that the Meta-human Task Force was on the move, Allegra pretended that Frost was too deep in her exercise routine to answer the phone.

Eventually, Allegra told the truth when Barry asked about Frost after Chester had discovered that the ice had artificial dark matter. She accompanied the Flash to find Frost at her old job and saw that she had defeated Chillblaine in battle. Allegra used her powers to free Frost's eyes from the "snow-blindness" that the villain had caused her. When the Meta-human Task Force arrived to arrest Frost, Allegra suggested that Frost goes on the run, but Frost explained to her young friend that she was not about to sullen the reputation of Team Flash by making them harbor a fugitive any longer. Allegra watched as Frost surrendered to the authorities.[10]

Frost on trial

Allegra sits behind Frost at court.

Time passed and Allegra missed her friend. Frost pleaded guilty to all of her charges and, instead of a trial, wanted to skip straight to sentencing. Kristen Kramer talked the state's attorney into having Frost take the meta-human cure instead of prison time; Allegra protested. Allegra, Caitlin Snow, and Cisco Ramon decided to sabotage the cure that was in the CCPD headquarters, but Kristen was there, so Allegra used her status as a reporter for The Central City Citizen to distract Kramer while Caitlin destroyed the samples. It was later revealed in court that Kristen had other samples prepared by A.R.G.U.S. Ultimately, Allegra watched as Frost talked the judge into giving her prison time instead and Allegra watched as Frost was escorted away.[22]

Fighting the forces[]
Team Citizen (Earth-Prime)

The next day, Allegra meets with Team Citizen and they decide to seek the Speed Force so that it will not kill anyone else. The women ultimately go to the Allen house, but they find Psych instead, who attacks them and has them see their nightmares. Allegra has a vision of Esperanza killing her. When the Sage Force waned, Allegra and the ladies had opportunity to escape.[23]

The next day, Allegra went with Team Citizen to confront Naomi LaSalle before Psych could attack the billionaire. When Psych arrived and attacked, Kamilla summoned the Flash, who took the members of the trio to safety.

Allegra and Iris researched the background of Bashir; Iris used Allegra as a sounding board to devise a way to stop Psych's rage.

When Allegra heard that Psych and Fuerza both were coming to S.T.A.R. Labs, she and Kamilla got weapons to fight them; however, when the two arrived and were more interested in fighting each other, Allegra left.[24] Allegra also helped Team Flash and other forces defeat the Speed Force[25] and the new Rainbow Raider.[26]

Becoming stronger[]

When Chester offered Allegra to play Dungeons and Dragons with him, Allegra suddenly got a notification on her phone from the "Citizen Tip Line" about her cousin, Esperanza, which lead her to deny Chester's offer. When met at Jitters, Allegra revealed to Chester that Esperanza has been spotted in several cities, taking out targets, and states that she suspects her next target is at Central City. Allegra claims that she wishes to make things right with Esperanza, and maybe redeem her. After saying that, however, Esperanza attacks Jitters, and Allegra specifically to stop her from looking for her. After a fight between the two, Sue comes to help Allegra, which causes Esperanza to escape for the meanwhile.

S.T.A.R

Allegra and Sue listen to the story of Esperanza

Eventually, Allegra and Sue track Esperanza to the free facility and utilize the gadget to stop her. Nonetheless, the individual she was attempting to kill was Olsen, the Black Hole doctor who turned Esperanza into Ultraviolet. Allegra and Sue question Esperanza at S.T.A.R. Labs and she educates them concerning how she got her veil, uncovering how the Black Hole doctor cut her voice out of her. She asserts that he's actually doing it to other people and uncovers her scars while faulting Allegra for all that is happened to her. Allegra consents to work with her to discover the doctor.

Esperanza attempts to prepare Allegra with her powers, yet Allegra battles. Sue steps in and prods Esperanza into battling her and Chester gets injured simultaneously. It uncovers that Esperanza may simply be an act of futility all things considered and she leaves to search out the doctor herself. Sue begs Chester to persuade Allegra to surrender yet gives him a thought all things considered. Sue goes alone to attempt to persuade Allegra to stop. Allegra counters that that simply implies she needs to pull more enthusiastically to get them out. Chester's revelation ends up being about Allegra's tattoo, a ying-yang which rouses him. He can utilize Allegra's powers to follow Esperanza's and along these lines, discover her. When they discover her, Allegra and Chester go to defy Esperanza at the doctor's office.

Allegra gets into the office and gets in a tight spot regardless of Chester's earnest attempts, yet Sue appears at help, permitting Allegra to follow Esperanza. She tracks down her in the doctor's lab. It's uncovered that Esperanza made an arrangement with the doctor. He will reestablish her voice on the off chance that she kills Allegra and the entire Team Flash. They battle and Allegra does whatever it takes not to accept the doctor, however the he spurs Esperanza. She attempts to hit her with a killing impact of light, yet Allegra meets her with her own powers. Allegra's powers level up, fueled by her affection for her cousin, in a real sense changing Allegra into a gleaming being momentarily. The doctor winds up captured and back at STAR, Allegra converses with Esperanza and clarifies that she was pondering family when her forces stepped up. She additionally reveals to Esperanza that they recuperated the doctor's records and Caitlin figures they can fix her forever. With the mission over Allegra feeling confident asks Chester out on a date, but Chester denies due to setting up a DND game for the evening. Allegra then asks to join to which he happily accepts.[27]

Caitlin works with Esperanza however her circumstance is convoluted. Caitlin figures she can fix things, yet Esperanza is reluctant to proceed with it. Allegra begs her to rethink and Esperanza accepts. Eventually, an army of Godspeeds begins attacking the STAR Labs' force field mid-operation, but they retreat. Luckily for Allegra, the surgery goes well.[28]

Esperanza Garcia dies

Esperanza dies in Allegra's arms.

Once Esperanza was better, she headed to fight old Black Hole allies. She wanted Allegra's help, but Allegra needed to stay with Team Flash. After hearing John Diggle talk with Barry Allen she decided to go check on her cousin. She found Esperanza on the ground and said her last goodbyes.[29] Later, she had a hard time helping Chester with powering up the machine[30], as she blamed herself for her cousin's death. Some hours later, after a chat with Chuck, she had the confidence to initiate the machine and helped the speedsters fight the Godspeed clones using her powers. After they won the fight, she attended Barry and Iris' vow renewal at the West house.[31]

Armageddon[]

In November of 2021, Allegra's memory was rewritten along with the rest of Team Flash when Eobard Thawne rewrote the events of May with the Negative Still Force to make it seem like Joe had been killed accidentally by a train.[32]

Six months after the Godspeed war and the death of Esperanza, Allegra still worked for Iris in The Central City Citizen. Like Sue bought the building, Iris hired more employees, which made Allegra insecure over her work as a reporter. Iris talked with Allegra about promoting her to supervising editor. Allegra went with the writers and showed her ideas, but they just dismissed her ideas. Later, Allegra got more confidence in herself and her work thanks to the words given to her by Iris on how she had a different voice than them since she had lived in Central City her whole life.[33] After hearing the news about Armageddon and Despero, Allegra comforted the team and Barry on how Despero was probably wrong. They called Alex Danvers, to learn about Despero but didn't learn anything news. After getting kicked out of S.TA.R. Labs, the team stayed in Barry and Iris's apartment when he attacked the team. Later, when they were in Chester's garage, they saw the news about Barry's attack. When Barry came back, he made a comment over Joe, which made everyone uncomfortable since Joe had died six months ago. After Chester's machine was ready, they headed to the West house to save Barry from Despero's attack.[34]

After Barry ran away, the team needed to get him back. Cecile and Iris had different opinions on what to do, so they started to fight. Allegra decided to choose Iris' side and helped her see the footage of Joe's death. After noticing the footage was cut off; They thought Barry maybe had a point. But, the man showing the footage explained why it wasn't complete. After seeing the whole footage they saw they were wrong, making Iris sad. Allegra, to help Iris, brought some papers. Iris started seeing something weird and left.[35] After Barry came back from the Reverse Flashpoint timeline, he reunited with Allegra and the rest of Team Flash.[32]

This section is a stub. You can help expand this section by adding some information.

When Negative versions of the Forces showed up, Allegra helped her friends fight them off, but not before they brought the Reverse-Flash back to life and returned his speed to him. Allegra and the rest of Team Flash tried to talk Barry out of killing Thawne similar to Armageddon, but Barry refused to comply due to being so full of rage over Thawne and the Negative Forces killing Iris. Out of options, Team Flash split up with one half helping Barry to enter the Negative Speed Force to force Thawne out of hiding, while the other half including Allegra worked to bring the Positive Forces back, which helped Barry claim victory over Thawne.[37][38]

Erased futures[]

Future Team Flash at Eobard and Iris' ceremony

Future Team Flash at Eobard and Iris' ceremony.

After Barry left to the future 2031, Allegra and the rest of Team Flash were put on chairs by Despero, later being erased by a wave of time.

In an erased future created by Eobard Thawne, he was the Flash and Barry was the Reverse-Flash. Along with Damien Darhk, the Reverse-Flash killed Ray Palmer, Nate Heywood, Sara Lance, and Cisco Ramon. At some point, Chester and Allegra hooked up, but when Chester went to get coffee for her to have an amazing morning, Allegra got nervous, making her leave.

In 2031, Allegra assisted Eobard and Iris' ceremony, when Barry Allen from 2021 crashed it, making the team angry.[35] Allegra used her powers to attack Barry over Cisco's death. When talking with Alex Danvers, Allegra revealed Chester and her hooked up, but when she woke up he left. Allegra and Alex were attacked by Damien Darhk and Barry Allen when they entered S.T.A.R Labs. When Alex confronted Chester, she learned the truth about the hole thing. After fixing everything, Chester and Allegra were fine now. When Barry ran to fix the timeline (incidentally causing the Armageddon, then undoing it), everything that previously happened was erased.[32]

Personality[]

Allegra was originally a criminal during her youth. As an adult, she is now a regular citizen trying to get her life back on track. Allegra sees herself as the light to her cousin, Esperanza Garcia's darkness and is afraid to become like her.

Allegra liked Iris West's articles in her Flash blog, since they were an inspiration for her in her convict days, and this led her to join The Central City Citizen. Allegra is adamant about being viewed as an individual; so she dislikes Harrison Nash Wells, because he constantly sees his adopted daughter, Maya when he views her. However, after the events of McCulloch Technologies, where they fought against Eva's Team and Nash saved her life, for the first time she was grateful to him again, and she started to warm up to him and accept him as a friend.

Allegra is insecure about her job as the supervising editor for the newly evolved Central City Citizen Media, since the writers don't listen to her and ignore her ideas. She told Iris that she wasn't ready and had no more experience than them, but Iris neglected the comments and told her she had a voice, since she has lived her entire life in Central City. She is also very loyal to team Flash and loving to Chester whom she has feelings for; as well as being extremely protective of him such as defending Chester when he challenged Ultraviolet to a fight and she defeated and injured him, or when she refused to leave his side when Deathstorm attacked. She often shows her tougher more guarded side when around other people including the other members of Team Flash, but reveals her vulnerable and soft side when spending time with Chester, indicating he’s the only person she feels comfortable letting her guard down with. When the two of them started dating, Allegra got nervous due to her previous relationships, but after overcoming her fear, she wasn’t hesitant to go all in and admit her love for Chester and immediately tried to seduce him, to which Chester happily agreed.

Trivia[]

  • Allegra is 5 feet tall.[citation needed]
  • While unmentioned directly, Allegra has a visible crush on Chester, going as far as to invite him to coffee. This crush has also been directly addressed by Sue Dearbon when she told Chester that, because Allegra likes him, she would listen to him. Throughout Season 7 and Season 8, that crush has become more obvious as Chester and Allegra have grown closer, with Allegra even being bold and openly flirtatious with Chester every now and then in season 8.
  • In the season 8 finale, Negative Bashir teased that Allegra was an orphan. Although it is unknown if this is true or if he was just trying to get in her head.
  • In a deleted scene at the end of season 9, Allegra chooses the codename/hero name "Wavelength" despite never choosing on in any scenes that made the final cut.

Behind the scenes[]

  • In the DC comics, Allegra Garcia is the daughter of the supervillain and a reformed criminal with the power of electromagnetism. She debuted in Titans #28.
    • Additionally, Wavelength is Allegra's father who was a mercenary with similar powers.
  • Allegra was from Brazil in the DC comics and she was changed to be Hispanic on the show, despite her name still being spelled the same way. In Spanish, two Ls together make a Y sound so with the spelling on the show it would be pronounced "Ayegra" which wouldn't be the case if the show had retained her Brazilian origin.
  • Allegra was co-created by Eric Wallace, the executive producer of The Flash.
  • Allegra and Esperanza are the second pair of family members in the series who were struck by a dark matter wave simultaneously during a S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator explosion, resulting in developing the same powers. The first time was in Season 1 of The Flash when brothers Mark and Clyde Mardon were hit by the dark matter at the same time, resulting in them both having atmokinetic abilities just as Allegra and Esperanza developed radiogenic abilities.
    • However, in the Mardon brothers' case, Mark's powers were far more precise and potent than Clyde's, whereas Allegra and Esperanza's powers appear to be virtually identical.
