Bartholomew "Bart" Allen is a superhero in the DC Comics Universe. Allen first appeared as the superhero Impulse. He would later go on to become the second Kid Flash and the fourth Flash. Allen's first cameo appearance was in The Flash (vol. 2) #91, while his first full appearance was in issue #92. He starred in Impulse (1995-2002) and The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive (2006-2007). Allen was a member of the superhero teams Young Justice and Teen Titans.[1]
Born in the 30th century to Meloni Thawne and Don Allen, Bart is related to a number of superheroes and supervillains. His father, Don, is one of the Tornado Twins and his paternal grandfather is Barry Allen, the second Flash. His paternal grandmother, Iris West Allen, is also the adoptive aunt of the first kid Flash, Wally West (Bart's first cousin once removed). Additionally, Bart is the first cousin of XS, a Legionnaire and daughter of Dawn Allen. On his mother's side, he is a descendant of supervillains Professor Zoom and Cobalt Blue as well as the half brother of Owen Mercer, the new Captain Boomerang. In addition to these relatives, he had a supervillain clone known as Inertia. Allen was absent for nearly two years after his apparent death in The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #13, but resurfaced again as Kid Flash in 2009's Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds.

[edit] Fictional character biography
[edit] Initial reference
As depicted in a Legion of Super-Heroes story, Barry Allen's children -- the Tornado Twins -- were arrested in 2995 A.D. by the government of Earth, which was under the covert control of the Dominators. Following a one-day trial on trumped-up charges of treason, the Twins were executed. According to a Daily Planet news report, Don Allen is survived by his wife Carmen Johnson, his mother Iris West Allen, and his 2-year-old son: Barry Allen II.[2]
This timeline was wiped out by the events of Zero Hour. However, a parallel set of events occurred on Earth-247 (the Earth of the post-Zero Hour Legion), with the Tornado Twins and their families having travelled there from New Earth.
[edit] Impulse
Suffering from a hyper-accelerated metabolism, Bart Allen was aging at a faster rate than that of any human being thus causing him to appear the age of twelve when he was chronologically only two years old. To prevent him from developing mental health problems, he was raised in a virtual reality machine which created a simulated world that kept pace with his own scale of time. When it became clear that this method was not helping, his grandmother, Iris Allen, took him back in time to the present where The Flash, Wally West, tricked Bart into a race around the world. By forcing Bart into an extreme burst of speed, Wally managed to shock his hyper-metabolism back to normal.[3] Because he had spent the majority of his childhood in a simulated world, Bart had no concept of danger and was prone to leaping before he looked. The youth proved to be more trouble than Wally could handle, and he was palmed off onto retired superhero speedster Max Mercury, who moved Bart to Manchester, Alabama. As retconned in Impulse #50, Batman named him "Impulse" as a warning, not as a compliment.
Bart joined the Titans[4] early in his career before going on to become one of the founding members (along with Robin and Superboy) of the superhero team Young Justice. For a time, Impulse became the owner of a spaceship granted to him by a rich sultan in appreciation for having helped save his castle. The team used this ship to reunite Doiby Dickles with his queen and restore the rightful rule of Myrg. Impulse stayed with Young Justice for an extensive period of time during which he developed the ability to make speed-force energy duplicates. This allowed him to be in multiple places at once. The newly acquired power proved useful until one of the duplicates was killed during the "Our Worlds at War" storyline when half the team was lost on Apokolips. Bart quit Young Justice temporarily as the death of his duplicate led him to come to terms with his own mortality.
Following Max Mercury's disappearance, Bart was taken in by Jay Garrick, the first Flash, and his wife Joan. After the breakup of Young Justice, Bart joined some of his former teammates in a new line-up of the Teen Titans.[5]
[edit] Kid Flash
Shortly after Bart joined the Teen Titans, he was shot in the knee by Deathstroke (who at the time was possessed by Jericho) and received a prosthetic one. While recovering, Bart read every single book in the San Francisco Public Library and reinvented himself as the new Kid Flash. Once healed, the artificial knee did not affect his ability to run at speeds approaching that of light.[6] When Robin reminded him that by becoming Kid Flash, he would be forced to live in the Flash's shadow, Bart said firmly, "No, he'll be living in mine."
In the "Titans Tomorrow" storyline, Bart assumed the mantle of the Flash after the current Flash died in a "Crisis". In this alternate future he was able to steal the speed of others, a power he used on his past self. This reality shows a grown Bart posing as a member of the so-called Titans of Tomorrow. However he is really a spy working on the behalf of Titans East, a resistance group led by the future Cyborg. Additionally, the future Bart is romantically involved with Rose Wilson, The Ravager.[7]
[edit] Infinite Crisis
During the Infinite Crisis, Superboy-Prime attacked Conner Kent (Superboy) and injured or killed several Teen Titans, thus prompting Bart to stop his rampage. He accomplishes this by running him at top speed into the Speed Force with the help of veteran speedsters Wally West and Jay Garrick. The feat took its toll on Garrick, who reached his limit before entering the Speed Force, and West, who turned into energy and vanished, leaving Bart alone in the fight against a vastly more powerful Superboy-Prime. Luckily for the young speedster, Barry Allen, Johnny Quick and Max Mercury, all of whom had been previously absorbed into the Speed Force, appeared and aided him.[8]
Bart spent four years in an alternate reality's Keystone City, where along with Wally, an alternate version of Jay Garrick and the ghosts of Max and Barry, Superboy-Prime managed to escape from his prison. The speedsters rallied together to return to their dimension. In an attempt to get there before Superboy-Prime, Bart absorbed the Speed Force using Wally's ring and Barry's costume to help him survive his journey.[9]
Wearing his grandfather's costume, an aged Bart reappeared in Tokyo just in time to fight alongside Superman and many other heroes in the Battle of Metropolis unleashing his anger against Superboy-Prime for killing Conner Kent and so forcing the villain to retreat from battle. When the crisis was over, Bart explained to Jay where he had been and how the Speed Force was destroyed. Having used up the residual speed locked in his body in the fight for Metropolis, Bart gives Barry's costume to Jay proclaiming him "the fastest man alive."[10]
[edit] The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive (2006-2007)
Suddenly older than his friends, unable to remember his missing years, and harboring a secret—that the speed force was still around, and threatened to overwhelm him—Bart set about creating a normal, mundane life for himself. He got a job as a factory worker at Keystone Motors and tried to leave super-heroics behind him however trouble around him would eventually lead him to donning the costume.
When his roommate gained super-powers and became the Griffin, Bart was forced to accept his legacy. He discovered that he had absorbed the speed force, and began learning how to control the power. Following in the footsteps of his cousin and grandfather, Bart Allen became the Flash. Not long after defeating the Griffin, the latest Flash moved to Los Angeles to start a new chapter in his life. As a civilian, Bart began training at the Los Angeles Police Academy, focusing on forensics.
Soon after donning the Flash identity, Bart is considered for Justice League membership and gets particular support from Batman, who feels he is more than ready for the position. Robin contacts Bart and asks him to return to the Teen Titans. However, after fighting Steppenwolf with the newly reformed Justice League, Bart tries to join the League rather than rejoin the Titans.
When Bart confronts Captain Cold at his apartment, Zoom appears and attacks Bart. Zoom apparently was enlisted by Bart's grandmother, Iris. It's later revealed that Iris only came to the past to warn her grandson about the Rogues (consisting of Abra Kadabra, Mirror Master, Heat Wave, the Pied Piper,the Trickster, Weather Wizard, and Captain Cold), led by Inertia, teaming up. Together they are trying to build a machine that will stop time. As their plan begins to come to fruition, Bart is arrested for the fight with Steppenwolf, who was a New God.
[edit] Death & Legacy
Bart reveals himself as the Flash in order to fight the Rogues. During the battle, it is revealed that the machine built by Inertia actually drains the Speed Force from an individual instead of freezing time. When the Rogues use it on the Flash, Bart's powers are stripped away from him, leaving him surrounded by the Rogues and leading to the appearance of the Black Flash. Inertia's machine proves unstable, however, and will destroy the West Coast if the Speed Force is not safely released from it. In order to buy Valerie time to release the Speed Force, Bart fights the Rogues before chasing after Inertia. After catching and beating Inertia, Bart again fights the Rogues. Panicked, Captain Cold, Heatwave, and Weather Wizard strike him down fatally.[1] His sacrifice saves thousands of lives.
Mourners hold a candlelight vigil at the Flash Museum.[11] Outside of Titans Tower in San Francisco, a memorial statue of Bart in his Kid Flash uniform was placed next to the statue of Superboy.[1][12]
As Wally West's return to New Earth coincides exactly with Bart's death, Inertia alleges that Bart's loss of powers is a direct consequence of Wally absorbing the newly released Speed Force. However, no further blame is put on Wally, who avenges his protégé by freezing Inertia's body in time but leaving his mind active. Inertia is put on display in a new area of the Flash Museum, dedicated to Bart's life. In Final Crisis: Rogues Revenge, Inertia is unfrozen and continues his rampage trying to kill Bart Allen's family, but is stopped by the Flash's enemy Zoom. Zoom reveals that he wants Inertia to become the new Kid Flash. Inertia steals Zoom's time manipulation power, leaving Zoom unable to even walk, and renames himself "Kid Zoom." The Rogues and Kid Zoom battle, and, Kid Zoom is incapacitated by the Pied Piper, at which point the Rogues kill him. The Rogues deliver Inertia's corpse to Keystone City with a message reading "Tell the Flash we're even - The Rogues."[13]
Marc Guggenheim, writer of the story arc in which Bart dies, has stated that this was an editorial decision, and that he was instructed that his five-issue run would have to end with Bart's death and the involvement of the Rogues.[14]
Keystone City holds a funeral for Bart, in which Jay Garrick, Cyborg, Wonder Girl and Robin give eulogies. At the end of his own speech, Robin plays a video Bart made soon after he had taken on the mantle of Kid Flash. In it Bart relays to his friends that no matter what happens to him, he will always be proud of having been a part of the Flash legacy and how happy he was being a member of the Teen Titans.[15] Shortly after the Keystone funeral, a more private funeral is held for Bart at Titans Tower, where they have erected a golden statue of Bart as Kid Flash beside the statue of Superboy.
During the Sinestro Corps invasion of Earth, Superboy-Prime's first act was to visit and defile Bart's grave which was inscribed "Bart Allen: The Flash". Superboy-Prime used his heat vision to cross out "The Fastest Man Alive" and write in its place "stupidest boy dead."
[edit] Return: Kid Flash Again
In Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds mini-series, Bart Allen returns as his teenage self in his Kid Flash attire when Brainiac 5 enacts phase two of his plan to defeat Superboy-Prime and the Legion of Super-Villains. His resurrection is brought about by the activation of the "living lightning rod" first seen in The Lightning Saga.[16] Brainiac 5 explains that Bart was destined to die one way or another, due to the fact that his leap from child to adult had jump started Bart's hyper-accelerated aging again, and that had the Rogues not killed him, he would have been dead of old age within months. Due to the fact that he was needed for the battle against Superboy-Prime, Brainiac 5 sent the Legion to use Wally West's lightning bolt and the living lightning rod to house Bart's child-like speed-force essence and then used XS to release it. Bart and XS make mention that they feel a new strength emanating from the Speed-Force, suggesting they can feel Barry Allen's return, although Bart believes it to be Max Mercury instead.[17]
Soon after Bart's resurrection, Superboy is also resurrected by the Legion. Together the pair of the aid the Legion is defeating Superboy-Prime by having him destroy himself (literally). Bart tries to convince XS to return to the past with him, but she instead decides to stay in the future, getting to know their new Earth.[17]
Once returned to the present, Superman assembles the Teen Titans as well as the adult Titans together, and re-introduces them to Kid Flash and Superboy.[18]
In The Flash: Rebirth storyline, when Bart returned to the present, he quickly discovered that things had changed significantly since he had been away. Barry Allen, his grandfather and legendary speedster who had sacrificed himself against the battle with the Anti-Monitor, had also returned from the grave. At The Teen Titans Tower West, where Robin and Wonder Girl had planned a welcome home party for Bart while everyone else was at the parades for Barry, Bart viewed his grandfather's return with skepticism, admitting a desire for things to "go back to the way it used to be". He wished that Wally was still the primary Flash and he would still be his sidekick. Bart's bitterness though centered on feeling angry that Barry was the only one to escape the Speed Force and his former mentor, Max Mercury had not.[19]
Bart was soon distracted by other matters though when his grandfather had killed the speedster, Savitar, by merely touching him, everyone connected by the Speed Force was struck with severe pain. Bart was then checked out by Robin while the others were observed by the JLA and the JSA. When Barry Allen had accidentally killed another with a touch yet again, it was revealed that he was now the new Black Flash.[20] The JLA and JSA worked together to contain Barry in a machine that would severe his tie to the Speed Force. Bart rushed to the scene and confronted Barry over the reason why Max had not returned with him but his grandfather could not provide an answer. The Black Flash part of Barry quickly took over, shattering the machine and attempting to reach out to the speedsters, including Bart, in the area. Barry was rushed away by his friends as Bart, Wally, Iris, and Jay could only look on.[21]
Superman told Bart and the others that Barry had decided to run back into the Speed Force so he wouldn't hurt any of them. Wally decided to go follow Barry and bring him back and Bart asked him to bring back Max if he could. Shortly after Wally left, Linda contacted Jay and Bart to tell them that Professor Zoom, the Reverse-Flash, was at her house attacking Jai and Iris. Bart and Jay rushed to the scene, fighting Professor Zoom through the city, crashing through the parade supplies that had been set up. During their fight, Professor Zoom criticized Bart for being a pollutant in the Thawne line due to being a descendant of both an Allen and a Thawne. He best Bart with ease and just as he was about to stab him with his staff, lightning struck and Max Mercury suddenly returned from the Speed Force, ready to defend his protege. Bart was shocked and overjoyed by his mentor's return. Wally and Barry returned as well and the group of speedsters charged the Reverse-Flash, ready for a fight.[22]
In the aftermath of a battle with the Reverse-Flash, an encounter with Jesse Chambers causes Wally's daughter Iris to manifest a connection to the Speed Force. Much to Bart's surprise, Iris decides to don Bart's old costume and become the new Impulse.[23]
According to DC editor-in-chief Dan Didio, Bart will be returning to the Teen Titans following a storyline centered on Static.[24]
[edit] Blackest Night
With Bart and Conner Kent's return, both of their statues were removed from the Titans Tower's memorial. However, Nekron, the "black personification" of Death, is seeking to reclaim their lives during the Blackest Night crossover.[25] Bart, along with Wally, races across the globe to warn every hero of the Black Lantern Corps' invasion.[26] Bart later arrives at Coast City with Wally and scattered members of the Justice League and Teen Titans to take a stand against Nekron, who's responsible for the Black Lanterns. Despite being resurrected, Bart's previous status as a deceased still allows one of the undead lord's black rings to transform him into a Black Lantern.[27]
[edit] Powers and abilities
Bart's primary power is speed, along with abilities that are common to comics speedsters, such as creating whirlwinds, running on water and vibrating through matter. That last ability will result in 'molecular taffy' if Bart does not concentrate; he also possesses an aura that prevents air friction while running. Before being shot in the knee, he was faster than the current Flash had been at his age. Bart does possess some abilities that other speedsters do not have. He has the ability to produce "scouts," Speed Force avatars that he can send through the timestream, but has used it infrequently since the death of one avatar put him in a coma during the "Our Worlds at War" storyline that crossed over among the Impulse, Superboy, and Young Justice titles. After being forced to use it during the "World Without Young Justice" crossover event, he was able and willing to use them with ease, up until he became Kid Flash. Bart is resistant to the alterations in the time stream. His parents met only in post-Zero Hour continuity, but he arrived before the event. Bart has the ability to recall everything he had ever read, heard or watched (which includes speed-reading every book in the San Francisco Public Library), allowing him to spout encyclopedic information concerning the situation at hand as well as quotations from Mark Twain, of whose work he is fond.[5]
After Infinite Crisis, Bart's connection to the Speed Force is more difficult to control because he now contains the Speed Force and, in essence, is the Speed Force. When he taps into the Speed Force, Bart appears to have electricity crackling around him, and the Speed Force inside him has become so lethal, that he initially wore the Flash suit while running in order to prevent it from killing him.[28] After remembering his experiences on an alternate Earth during a fight with Griffin, he began to gain a measure of control over the Speed Force before it was released from his body just prior to his death.
[edit] Flash legacy
Since his first appearance in The Flash vol. 2 #91, Bart had been trained by several speed-endowed heroes such as Jay Garrick, Johnny Quick and Max Mercury. Prior to his reluctance to don the red and yellow, Bart showed a lot of enthusiasm towards his role as the future Flash. However, Wally West had a number of apprehensions about Bart, as shown by Wally's naming Jesse Quick as his successor and his refusal to deliver to Bart his invitation from Cyborg to join the latest incarnation of the Teen Titans. Bart took these acts in stride though, and, after Robin claimed that he will always live in the Flash's shadow, Bart even says that "the Flash will be in mine."[29]
[edit] Other versions
Numerous versions of Bart have appeared throughout comics.
[edit] Dark Tomorrow
Following the death of Max Mercury and Helen Claiborne, Bart went back to the future to be with his mother, while his girlfriend Carol Bucklen came along. Carol began studying the Speed Force to use it for the benefit of humanity. The corrupt President Thawne, Bart's grandfather, took their research and made the Hyperguard, a group of hyper fast soldiers. The adult Carol managed to pull her younger self and Bart into the future. Bart ended up preventing Max's and Helen's death, thus preventing this reality from happening. This reality appeared in Impulse #73-75.
[edit] Titans Tomorrow
Bart was a crucial part of the Titans Tomorrow storyline. Here, Wally West is dead and Bart is the new Flash. The Teen Titans are now fascistic superheroes controlling the Western United States. However, Bart is really a spy for Titans East, a rebel group lead by Cyborg and Bumblebee. He seems to have a romantic relationship with Rose Wilson.
The Titans Tomorrow group has recently returned, where it was revealed that due to Bart's recent death, the future timeline has been altered so these versions of him and Conner are actually clones of the originals, created by the alternate future version of Tim Drake. However, unlike his previous future self, the cloned Bart is completely on the side of his fascist teammates.[30]
[edit] Time and Tempest
Another alternate future showcased in The Ray #25-26. Here, Bart, Ray Terrill, and Triumph are "three rich guys with superpowers". Bart was in love with Ray's girlfriend, who Ray treated like dirt. However, Bart realized that he didn't have a chance with her either and ends up knocking Ray out and leaving him, not knowing that hitmen were on their way.
[edit] Tangent Comics
On Earth-9, Impulse is a type of soda, which is advertised with the slogan: For that get up and Go.[citation needed]
[edit] Legion of Super-Heroes (TV series)
In a comic based upon the Legion of Super-Heroes animated series, Bart Allen makes a guest appearance as Impulse. When Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel get trapped in a Virtual Reality game, they meet up with Impulse, who aids them in saving the Virtual World that Bart is forced to live in (due to his hyper-accelerated growth) from being destroyed.

[edit] In other media
In the original Kids WB! pitch for the Justice League animated series, Robin, Impulse, and a teenage female version of Cyborg were to be seen as junior members of the League. It was later decided to avoid their introduction, so as to avoid making Justice League seem like the old Super Friends series. The corresponding short animation is available as a bonus on the season one DVD of Justice League. [1]
[edit] Smallville
An episode of Smallville entitled "Run" featured a speedster named Bart Allen played by Kyle Gallner. Bart also carries around identification with the names "Jay Garrick", "Barry Allen", and "Wally West", the first three Flashes in the main DC Universe. He was portrayed as a self-centered teenager who used his powers as a thief for personal gain, although he showed signs of changing his ways by the end of the episode when he helped Clark save his father. As a sort of in-joke, he hits on Chloe Sullivan and tells her that he is from 100 years in the future (He jokingly claimed that they were still in love by that point). At the end of the episode, after Bart says that he will travel the world to find others like him and Clark, maybe starting "a club or a league or something", Clark and Bart have a race; just as Clark seems to be catching up to him, Bart turns and gives him a slight wave and disappears into the distance.
Gallner reprised his role in the season six episode "Justice", using the codename Impulse and wearing a costume of sorts for the first time on air. He appears as part of a team led by Green Arrow. According to Green Arrow, he found Bart one night in Star City during one of his patrols and saw that he was about to help himself to a "free meal", but, seeing goodness in Bart, he helped give him "direction". Along with Aquaman and Cyborg, they form a team to stop Lex Luthor and his LuthorCorp 33.1 project, the group rescuing Bart from a lab after he is captured. During missions, he is called "Impulse," a name he did not choose himself, much like in the comics. He is more composed as a fusion of various Flash traits, and personalities. When Clark and Lex disappeared from the arctic in the Fortress of Solitude, Bart and Victor Stone searched the entire southern hemisphere for them and found nothing. Later, Oliver mentioned that Clark went on a JL mission with Bart in Keystone City and he is seen along with AC, Victor, and Dinah on Chloe's computer screens in the Isis Foundation.
Kyle Gallner returned once again in the season 8 finale "Doomsday" to help Clark fight his biggest enemy yet. Instead, he eventually turns his back on Clark in order to save him. He is last seen at Jimmy Olsen's funeral, and Chloe later mentions to Clark that Bart, along with team mates Oliver and Dinah, disappeared from the face of the Earth and she fears the worst.[31]
