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.
