A new still image released by The Flash has revealed the human form of the Arrowverse's Fuerza. Even though the villain appeared in the fourth episode of season 7, until this point, both Team Flash and the audience had only seen her in her Strength Force form. Now, the show will finally reveal who she is when she is not hulking around Central City.
So far the bulk of the story-line, or "Graphic Novel" for The Flash season 7 has been planting the seeds for the team to discover the mysterious new Forces that have shown up in Central City. Seemingly as powerful as the Speed Force itself, who they have already attacked and injured once, the new Forces include the Sage Force, Still Force, and the Strength Force. As for the abilities of each Force, Strength seems to be all about raw power, while the powers of Sage and Still are based on psychic and time-altering abilities respectively.
This week, TV Line published the first image of the human side of the Arrowverse's Fuerza ahead of her unveiling on The Flash. In the series she is known as Alexa Rivera, a social worker helping disadvantaged citizens of Central City while working through her own past traumas. It is only through the recent discovery of a connection to the Strength Force that she can turn herself into the goliath Fuerza. Check out the image below:
Alexa will be portrayed on screen by Sara Garcia. While many may recognize her from time spent playing Keira on CW's Reign, she has also had roles on Freeform's The Bold Type and X Company on CBS. She has also had stints on the series Designated Survivor, Falling Water, and Burden of Truth. She will debut on The Flash during the May 4th episode titled, "The People V. Killer Frost."
With the way season 7 has gone so far, one cannot help but wonder if Team Flash has yet again created their own worst enemies. In their desire to reform the Speed Force, did they inadvertently create the other Forces? Or did the other Forces always exist and were held at bay by the previous Speed Force? And are they all truly villainous? Seems strange that only the Speed Force would be an ally, when the other Forces have not revealed any motivation yet for attacking her or going after Team Flash. Hopefully, the series will start answering some of these questions when the season picks up again on May 4th.
