"Are you familiar with my body of work? If you are, then you know I can come up with something so much better than "Speedy"." This article should be moved to Alexa Rivera. If required, use the talk page for discussion. |
Alexa Rivera, nicknamed Fuerza by Cisco Ramon, is a resident of Central City who is currently serving as a host to the mysterious inter-dimensional force of nature known to Team Flash as the Strength Force.
Biography
When the Flash convinced Abra Kadabra not to destroy Central City, Fuerza emerged from the ground, causing a brief earthquake and killing Abra Kadabra with one punch. She then held the Flash in her arms but soon after she was upset and left.[1]
Following these events, Fuerza first attacked the Speed Force itself, followed by Psych, leaving it badly injured enough to seek Team Flash's help.[2]
After returning from the past where he battled Deon Owens, Cisco Ramon realized that Fuerza was the host of the Strength Force.[3]

Behind the scenes
- In the comics, Alexa Antigone, also known as Fuerza, hails from the South American nation of Corto Maltese, where she is an anarchist who battles against her corrupt government. She is a conduit of the mysterious cosmic force known as the Strength Force, which provides her with a vast assortment of powers to wage her war on corruption.
