Biography[edit source]
Early Life[edit source]
| “ | Yeah, it's true, I was an addict. Then I hit rock bottom, and that was a wake-up call. So, I got clean, I went to school. I could have worked in a hospital, but this is where I belong. Helping people, just like me, turn their lives around. | ” |
— Alexa to Barry Allen[src]

In 2015, Alexa became addicted to drugs and went into rehabilitation. After restoring her life and returning to school, she realized that she would not become a doctor and became a field supervisor for Keystone Cares to help people.[3] Despite her resistance against her addiction, her parents no longer talks to her, and she was alone for most of her life, until she had a new "family".[4]
Earthquakes[edit source]
During the invasion of Central City by Mirror Monarch, the Strength Force was created alongside 2 other forces. Alexa was then chosen by the Strength Force as its "avatar", taking over her life and giving her powers.[5]

In mid-2020, Fuerza attacked The Flash and Abra Kadabra. The latter then attacked Fuerza with an Antimatter Bomb, which was quickly destroyed by Fuerza, and she was able to survive the Antimatter. Fuerza then charged at Kadabra and sent him flying, killing him on impact on the ground. The Flash then threw a lightning bolt at her, and she absorbed the energy, converting it into her own energy and leaped forward to him. She then grabbed him and held him in her arms until he was unconscious, allowing her to leap away to escape.[6]
Approached by The Flash[edit source]
10 days later, Team Flash detected isotopic signatures in Keystone Cares. Barry and Nora then quickly arrived on scene and entered a tent under Iris' guidance. Alexa then greeted them and introduced herself. However, she was frightened by Barry as he wore a CCPD windbreaker. She told them that she already overcame her drug addiction and asked them not to arrest her. Barry calmed her and responded that they are crime scene investigators, meaning they do not arrest. Barry politely asked her to go with them to S.T.A.R. Labs and she refused, only to be interrupted by Nora, who demanded her to go as she treats her as an enemy. Barry then brought Nora out and told her to calm down as she frightened her as well.[3]

Hours later, Barry returned as The Flash and asked once more for Alexa to go with him. Despite her original refusal, she quickly changed her mind as she thought The Flash is a person she could trust. Barry then brought her back to the facility and activated the Arc Radiators on her, confirming that she was Fuerza. After she realized what she has become, she stood up from the machine and was blasted by Nora. As Nora approaches Iris and attempted to murder her, Barry counteracted the attack with her lightning bolt. Not knowing it was part of Nora's intention, Barry was defeated and Alexa was burned and killed by lightning bolts.[3]
Resurrection[edit source]
When Timeless Wells and Barry went back to the moment the Forces of Nature were born, they erased them out of existence and Alexa's body started fading. This was reversed moments later when Barry changed his mind. During the process, Alexa sat up and stared at Caitlin for a moment before collapsing once more. As Barry and Iris reconciled, the facility shook and urged them to go to Alexa. Caitlin informed them of the "medically impossible" and they deduced it was because they were in sync that reconnected Alexa with the Strength Force. They placed their hand on Alexa's foot, generating blue lightning bolts on her body and reconnected her with the Strength Force once more, resurrecting her.[5]
