Supervillains from DC Comics who debuted after 2010
Allegra Gracia
A character from DC Comics Allegra Garcia first appeared in “Titans (vol. 2) #28” in December 2010. She is the daughter of supervillain Eduardo Reyes, also known as Wavelength, and has inherited his powers to control light.
Allegra grew up in the Santa Marta slums of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, under the care of her foster parents, Ramon and Esperanza Garcia. As she developed the ability to emit electromagnetic light, she got involved with local gangs and took part in criminal activities in Gotham City. Eventually, she was stopped by local vigilantes and sent to Arkham Asylum.
Her father, Wavelength, hired Deathstroke and a team of Titans to rescue her from Arkham. After a daring mission that involved facing Batman and various Arkham inmates, Allegra was taken back to Brazil. There, she confronted her father for abandoning her and used her light powers to defeat him. However, Deathstroke declined her offer to join him, telling her she had much to learn.
In popular media, Allegra Garcia also appears in the TV series “The Flash,” portrayed by Kayla Compton. Her character undergoes a transformation from a metahuman with a criminal background to a reporter, working with Team Flash to combat supervillains and seek justice.
Tommy Merlyn
A fictional supervillain in DC Comics, Tommy Merlyn is associated with the Green Arrow. Created by Judd Winick and Freddie E. Williams II, he is the son of Arthur King, also known as Malcolm Merlyn or the Dark Archer. Tommy Merlyn first appeared in “Green Arrow Vol. 5 #0” in September 2012, coinciding with the launch of the “New 52” reboot and the “Arrow” television series.
In the comics, Tommy is introduced as the best friend of billionaire playboy Oliver Queen, who later becomes Green Arrow. When Oliver’s reckless actions lead to a tragic explosion that claims the life of their friend Leena, Tommy is badly burnt but survives. He resurfaces years later as the Dark Archer, seeking vengeance and becoming a formidable archer like his father.
He possesses exceptional archery and marksmanship skills, comparable to those of Green Arrow and other skilled archers in the DC Universe. In the Arrowverse television series “Arrow,” Tommy Merlyn is portrayed by Colin Donnell. His character undergoes various developments, including friendship with Oliver, romantic relationships, and ultimately, a tragic fate during the first season of the show.
Tommy reappears in subsequent seasons through flashbacks and hallucinations, adding depth to his character’s story. Also, there are different versions and adaptations of Tommy Merlyn in the Arrowverse, each with its unique storyline and circumstances.
Bloodwork
Also known as Bloodwork Ramsey Rosso is a character in DC Comics and The Flash TV series. He first appeared in “The Flash #28” in August 2016. In the comics, Ramsey Rosso was born with a medical condition called hemophilia, which meant his blood couldn’t clot properly, making even small cuts dangerous.
Ramsey grew up to become a coroner to help bring justice to people, but he became obsessed with finding a cure for his condition. He started experimenting on himself with stolen metahuman blood, hoping to heal himself. These experiments went wrong, giving him the power to control and change his blood, essentially making him a metahuman.
As Bloodwork, he battled the Flash, but his desire for power and immortality led him to do terrible things, like draining the blood of others. He even believed he could make everyone live forever by infecting them with his mutated blood.
In the Arrowverse TV series, Bloodwork’s story was adapted with a twist, as he sought immortality and became a formidable foe for the Flash.
Godspeed
Godspeed, also known as August Heart, is a fictional character in DC Comics. He first appeared in “The Flash (vol. 5) #3” in September 2016. August Heart was a detective and a close friend of Barry Allen, who is also known as the superhero Flash.
August’s life takes a dark turn when his brother is murdered, and the person he believes is responsible goes free due to evidence being destroyed in a lightning strike at Barry’s lab. Fueled by grief and anger, August confronts a criminal group known as Black Hole, leading to a confrontation that results in him being struck by lightning from a Speed Force storm. This event grants him superhuman speed and the ability to tap into the Speed Force.
August decides to become a vigilante known as Godspeed, seeking to bring justice by killing criminals rather than arresting them, which puts him at odds with the Flash. He can absorb the speed of other speedsters, although this process often results in their death. Godspeed is also capable of creating clones of himself but at the cost of severe physical pain.
In the TV series “The Flash,” Godspeed’s character differs slightly, with a backstory involving time travel and tachyon technology. His story is one of vengeance, loss, and the dangerous consequences of seeking justice outside the law.
