Bart Allen

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

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 time stream, 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 duplicates 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 Titans along with Robin and Superboy.

KID FLASH

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 Titans 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.

RETURN

POWERS

Quicker than the speed of Light

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 from 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.
