Biography
Early life
Allegra was a juvenile offender who comes from a family of criminals. She's been frequently in and out of juvenile facilities for crimes she committed. She was once apprehended by Joe West at the age of 13 for robbing liquor stores. She would often be visited by Joe in juvie and she would refuse to speak to him.
Getting powers
Allegra blasted by the particle accelerator explosion
At some point, Allegra got into a fight with her cousin and her gang at the Juvenile Facility when she wanted out of her cousin, Esperanza's group. When the Particle Accelerator exploded and surged across Central City, she and Esperanza were blasted with the waves of the dark matter giving Allegra and Esperanza the same powers of Electromagnetic manipulation. When this was discovered, she was eventually transferred to the Meta-human wing of Iron Heights.
Arrested again
Allegra was once again apprehended by the CCPD for a series of homicides committed by her cousin Esperenza who resurfaced after years of being presumed deceased. 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.
Visiting the witness
Shortly after Allegra made bail she broke out off her meta cuffs and later went to 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 ultraviolent 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 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.

Behind the scenes
- In the comics, Allegra Garcia was the daughter of the villain Eduardo Reyes/Wavelength. Initially born in the Amazon and raised in the slums of Brazil by adopted parents, Allegra inherited her father's abilities to control electromagnetic light. After she was sentenced to Arkham, Deathstroke and his Titans team were sent to rescue her, and led to a fight between Deathstroke and Batman. Ultimately, Allegra was rescued and returned to Brazil, only to quickly kill her birth father, which led to Slade putting a power-dampening collar on her.
