Bart Allen

Bartholomew "Bart" Allen II is the grandson of the second flash, Barry Allen, Bart started his superhero days as impulse and then Kid Flash an then finally the Flash. He was taken before his time. Edit

ORIGIN

 

Bart was born in the late 30 Century and was the son of Don Allen [son of Barry Allen] and Meloni Thawne. Bart was born with his grandfather’s super speed, this came with its down falls, Bart suffered from a hyper-accelerated metabolism, this meant that Bart was aging a lot faster that a normal person for example when he was 2 years old he looked physically 12. To stop Bart from developing mental problems, Bart was placed in a virtual reality simulator which creates a virtual world that kept pace with his growth.

 

When it became clear that the simulator was not working his grandmother, Iris Allen decided to take Bart into the past [our present] to see her nephew, Wally West in hopes Wally would have a solution to his cousins problems. Wally made Bart use his super speed at new levels this extreme burst of speed shocked Bart’s metabolism back to normal. Because Bart spent most of his childhood in the reality simulator Bart had no concept of danger and would often act before thinking. Bart proved too much to handle for Wally so Wally passed him over to the veteran speedster Max Mercury. Max moved to , there he taught Bart about the Speed Force and how to use his powers responsibly.

 

IMPULSE

 

Impulse

Batman gave Bart the name Impulse as a warning not a compliment. Bart joined the Teen Titians in his early career before going on to be one of the founding member’s of Young Justice along with Robin [Tim Drake] and Superboy. For a time, Impulse came into the possession of a space ship gave to him by a rich man in thanks for saving his castle. The team used the ship to reunite Doiby Dickles with his queen and restore the rightful rule of Myrg. Impulse stayed with Young Justice for a long time becoming besr friend with Tim Drake and Superboy.

 

During his time with Young Justice Bart discovered he had the ability to make speed force duplicates of himself the that he can send through the timestream, they could remain in their selected place for a certain amount of time before they had to return to Bart and when they returned they would rebound with Bart and Bart would learn everything his “clones” learned but when one of his dups got killed Bart got the trauma from it. Bart would not use the power again.

 

When Max disappeared, Bart was taken in by Jay Garrick, the golden age Flash, and his wife Joan. Bart would continued his training with Jay and Wally and prove himself as an excellent hero. When Young Justice disbanded, Bart joined a new roster of Titians along with Robin and Superboy.

 

KID FLASH

 

Shortly after he joined the Titians, Bart is shot in the knee by Deathstroke. Bart had to have a prosthetic one, while recovering Bart read every book in the San Francisco library, While in the hospital re-invented himself as Kid Flash [although he was still a goof]. Once he healed he returned, the prosthetic knee did not affect his running. Wally did not approve of Bart taking the mantle of Kid Flash, he thought Bart had’nt earned it but Bart would prove Wally wrong many times over.

After Superboy-Prime attacked Conner Kent (Superboy) in Smallville and injured or killed many Teen Titans, Bart joined with Flashes Wally West and Jay Garrick to stop the rampage of Superboy-Prime by running him at top speed into the Speed Force. Jay reached his limit before entering the Speed Force and Wally turned into energy and vanished, leaving Bart alone with Superboy-Prime. Barry Allen, Johnny Quick and Max Mercury, all of whom had previously been absorbed into the Speed Force, appeared and aided Bart. After taking Superboy-Prime into the Speed Force, Barry told Bart that "Wally is waiting for you". After they disappeared, Jay claimed that the Speed Force was gone.

THE FLASH

Bart spent four years in an alternate reality's Keystone City, with Max, Barry, Wally, and an alternate version of Jay Garrick. There Superboy-Prime managed to escape from his prison, and the alternate Jay failed to stop him. All the speedsters rallied together to return to their dimension so they could warn everyone about Superboy-Prime. However, they knew that not even the fastest men alive could get there before the insane Boy of Steel. Barry suggested to Wally that he somehow absorb the entire Speed Force, but cautioned that it might kill him. Bart bravely volunteered, because Wally had his family to think of, and Barry was incapable of it because he was already dead. Wally handed him the ring and Barry gave Bart his Flash suit, which would both help Bart survive his journey.

Bart reappeared in Tokyo wearing his grandfather's costume. He later helped the heroes against the army of escaped supervillains in the Battle of Metropolis. Bart then explained to the nearby Wonder Girl that his grandfather's uniform was the only thing that could survive the trip back from where he had been, and that he was the only one there "who could still run". Bart then unleashed his anger against Superboy-Prime for killing Conner Kent, pummelling him at super-speed and forcing Superboy to retreat from the battle. When the crisis was over, Bart explained to Jay that he had spent years in an unknown dimension where he grew older. Bart confirmed that the Speed Force was destroyed and that he had used up the residual speed locked in his body fighting in Metropolis. He gave Barry's costume to Jay and said that Jay was once again the fastest man alive.

After about a year pretending to be powerless, Bart eventually was forced to reveal that the Speed Force has been inside him all along in order to defeat a rogue pseudo-speedster. After a very brief tenure as The Flash, he was attacked by Inertia and the Rogues, who drained him of the Speed Force and beat him to death. Ironically, Wally West was returned to New Earth by the Justice League at almost the same time, sadly a little too late to help his protege. Bart is survived by West, his grandmother Iris and girlfriend Valerie.

FUNERAL

 

Keystone city held a funeral for Bart. Jay Carrick, Cyborg, Wonder Girl and one of Bart’s best friend’s, Robin give eulogies. At the end of his speech, Robin plays a video of Bart just after he became Kid Flash, in the video Bart says no matter what happens he will always be proud of being in the Flash legacy and on how happy being a Titian made him. After the Keystone funeral, the Titian held a small private ceremony of there own, the Titians that were present at it were Robin [who spoke at the ceremony], Flash [Wally West], Supergirl, Wonder Girl, Cyborg, Starfire, Ravger, Kid Devil, Beast Boy, Raven and Miss Martian. A gold statue of Bart as Kid Flash was put up next to the Superboy statue.

 

POWERS

 

 

Bart’s primary power is his super speed which he gets from tapping into the speed force. As Impulse and Kid Flash, Bart could achieve speeds greater that mach 10, but when he returned from the alternate dimension he could reach incredible Speeds, such as Light speed. Wally West has said that Bart was faster that all the speedsters put together. Bart can lend and borrow speed from other people, a good example of this is when Wally West fights Professor Zoom and Bart and Jay Garrick among other speedsters lend Wally their speed so he can bear zoom. Bart can move his limbs at such speeds that he can make vibration wave and manipulate his bio mass that he can appeared invisible. Bart can also run across water and up vertical surfaces such as walls. Bart can create vortexes by running and moving his limbs in a circular motion at high speeds.

 

As Impulse, Bart discovered that he had the ability to create clones of himself that he can send any where, the clones have a small amount of time away from Bart when they do return Bart absorbs their memories, however when one of his clones got killed, Bart felt the trauma of its death, Bart has never used the power since the incident.

 

Unlike other speedsters Bart has an photographic memory that lets him remember everything he has ever read, a good example of this is when he read every book in the San Francisco library in a couple of hours.

 

Before he died the Speed force had actually lived inside Bart, making them one in the same. Although it became very dangerous when Bart ever tapped in to speed force, Bart had to wear the flash suit while running to stop it killing Bart, but would gain control over the speed force, he would have been the most powerful Flash ever but died before we saw any of the effects.

 Also the speed force also gives Bart a kind of aura that give Bart immunity from friction and heat generation while running, the aura also gives Bart an small amount of invulnerability.

 

Thanks to his Hyper-accelerated metabolism Bart can heal faster than normal humans although it wound may not heal correctly.

 Bart’s reflexes, stamina and agility are also at superhuman levels.

 

SKILLS

 

Bart is a good hand to hand fighter, thanks to his super speed he can land hundreds of powerful punches a second also Bart is very knowledgeable [he’s still a goof] thanks to his photographic memory.
