History

Nora Allen (née Thompson^[1]) was the wife of Dr. Henry Allen and mother of Barry Allen and Malcolm Thawne.

Nora was seriously hurt when the Allen's car was forced of the road by a young man named Jack Morgan.^[2]. She was comatose for several weeks. Despite the serious risk of brain damage from the length of her coma, she eventually awoke and was able to make a full recovery.^[3]. Shortly thereafter, Barry finally revealed to her his secret identity as the Flash.^[4]

Nora passed away shortly after her son perished in the first Crisis. She and Henry were buried next to Barry.^[1]
