IMPULSE

The Fastest Teen Alive

The Past

Bart Allen is the grandson of Barry Allen and Iris West. Born in the 30th Century, his powers caused Bart to age at a rapid and inconsistent rate.Iris placed the child in virtual reality so he could have a semblance of growing up naturally, Bart raised with a childhood that was essentially consequence free because of this.He became a "creature of pure id, living instinct with no before-or-afterthought," saying and doing whatever came to mind whenever he felt like it.His rapid aging proved to be a problem that did not settle itself however, so Iris took Bart into the past. They arrived during the time when Wally West was the Flash, Wally curing Bart's aging problem on accident.Bart would join Wally in fighting against the Zero Hour Crisis, making his debut to other heroes and the world as 'Impulse.'Too much for Wally to handle, Bart is taken in by Max Mercury to be trained in the use of his powers responsibly.

The Powers

-Speed Force Conduit: Speed force conduits possess a connection to the Speed Force, a cosmic force that allows its users to push the boundaries that keep time and space. As a conduit of the Speed Force, all aspects of their physiology are accelerated and enhanced.
-Accelerated Healing: By having a connection to the speed force, every speed force conduit has an incredibly fast healing factor and can heal from most injuries in seconds and devastating injuries in minutes. However, Bart has "hyper-metabolism", meaning his body's metabolism is much faster than even that of other speedsters. Side effects of this include accelerating aging, as Bart revealed he had physically looked like a teenager at the age of 2.
-Toxic Immunity: Bart's hyper-metabolism provides him with a enhanced immunity to toxins. When exposed to a drug that would negate his super speed, Bart's metabolism quickly pushed out the drug and its effects.
-Enhanced Senses: The Speed Force enhances the speedster's senses, allowing them to perceive and process thoughts faster than the normal person.
-Phasing: Speed Force conduits can tap into the Speed Force to vibrate their molecules in a way to achieve intangibility for short bursts, allowing them to phase through objects.
-Speed Force Aura: The Speed Force manifests an aura around the speedster and whatever they are carrying, protecting them from adverse effects of their speed, such as friction with the air.
-Superhuman Durability: The Speed Force Aura also protects speedsters from kinetic impacts, which in turn, makes them much more durable and resistant to injury than any normal human.
-Superhuman Stamina: The Speed Force grants its conduits with a great increase of stamina, allowing them to fight or run much longer than the average person. Although a great increase, it is not unlimited.
-Superhuman Speed: The universal factor of being a Speed Force conduit grants its user with imperceptible amounts of speed. All powers that conduits possess derives from their speed.
-Superhuman Agility: The speedster's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to superhuman levels. This allows them to easily maneuver while moving at superhuman speed.
-Superhuman Reflexes: In conjunction with their enhanced senses, The speedster's reflexes are heightened immesurably, allowing them to dodge or react faster than normal.
-Vortex Creations: Speed Force conduits are able to create vortices of air by running in circles or rotating their extremities at super-speed. These vortices can be used for a number of effects.
-Enhanced Mental Process: The Speed Force enhances Bart's mental capacity to levels greater than any normal human, allowing him to take in and process information at an accelerated rate. While most speedsters will eventually forget information they rapidly receive, Bart does not.
-Cosmic Awareness: Bart learned to use the Speed Force to fill in the gaps of his forgotten memories about the universe. While doing this, Bart learned of the various time shifts, reality bends, and reboots that have occurred within the universe.
-Invisibility By vibrating his atoms and molecules at the right frequency, Bart can turn invisible.
-Electrokinesis: As a conduit of the Speed Force, Bart generates large amounts of electrical Speed Force energy from his body. This Speed Force Lightning emanates off of him especially when moving at super-speeds. Bart was able to charge his hand with the lightning to electrocute Jay Garrick, in order to restart his heart.
-Speed Scouts: Bart has the ability to create "scouts", which are energy-like avatars of himself which he could send through the time-stream, then absorb their memories when they returned.
-Decelerated Aging: Along with every speedster that draws from the speed force, the loved ones of the speedsters will gain eternal youth like Jay's wife and Barry's wife ages have shown.
-Speed Force Empathy: Bart can sense when another Speed Force conduit is troubled, and can be drawn to the location of that speedster.

The Present

A little older and a little more capable, Bart is currently living out of Titans Tower in New York to try and be his own hero.OOC Disclaimer
Bart is currently 19 in-character, this is the way I can best think to reconcile his weird aging in DC as well as not having adult Conner and Tim running around while Bart is still essentially 12.My Bart has experienced all of the original Impulse, Young Justice, and New Earth runs up until Flashpoint: Kid Flash Lost, where he was trapped in the Speed Force rather than pulling an Infinite Crisis. He’s back now and returned to his Impulse identity in order to reconnect with the roots of why he started being a hero.
