Bart Allen

Childhood: 2002-2010
Born April 2nd, 2002 to Barry Allen and Iris West-Allen as Bartholomew “Bart” Henry Allen II. Bart was the youngest of Barry and Iris' children, being born 9 minutes after his sister, Jenni Allen. Their birth came from an abnormal pregnancy, you see Bart and his sister only were in the womb for about 4 months (as a result of an accelerated gestating period). But once they were born everything seemed normal.

Bart looked like his mom but in behavior... definitely like Barry. Though there was one problem, he was a slow learner (mostly because of his short attention span). By the summer before 2nd grade, it was found that Bart had actually lucked out in school since he didn't know how to read. And well, Barry sought to remedy this problem.

When spending time with Bart, Barry tried to find what interested Bart. Bart wouldn't stay still and would run around. The only times when Bart would stay still was when the news was talking about heroes and showing their battles. This gave Barry an idea.

He gave Barry introduced Bart to his favorite book series and Bart took a keen interest in it. So much so that 2-3 days later he had already finished the first book. This helped Barry and Iris motivate Bart so throughout the 2nd grade they had found a way to get Bart to learn and do his assignments (some may call this good parenting but we all know it's bribing). But in the summer of 2010, something happened.

Fastest Kid Alive: 2010 - 2011
A few weeks before Bart was supposed to start 3rd grade, he had discovered his powers. Bart, Barry, and Jenni were playing together when all of a sudden Bart ran a couple miles in a few seconds. When he returned he was excited about gaining powers... but a side affect had happened. Bart was now 9 years old.

Barry told Jenni to get her mother and meet them at S.T.A.R Labs before rushing over there. When they arrived at S.T.A.R Labs Barry asked Caitlin for her help in figuring out what was wrong with Bart and they investigated what was happening. Caitlin took a blood sample from Bart and put it under a microscope.

The first thing she noticed was that Bart's cells over-saturated with energy but didn't know what type of energy, only that it was familiar. She pulled up Barry's records and saw that the energy in Bart's cells were the same as the Speed Force energy in Barry's cells. Caitlin then began to work on a serum with Harry to fix what was happening.

Barry told Bart to stay put and not use his powers and to make it so Bart wasn't bored brought him some books, some board games, etc. But all of a sudden Reverse-Flash attacked and took Barry by surprise. He had sensed Bart's speed force energy and wanted the energy for himself. Bart had no choice but to use his powers and run away.

While running he set up some traps throughout the building, stalling the villain. When Reverse-Flash finally caught Bart, Barry had awoken and came to Bart's rescue. Realizing he was outmatched, Reverse-Flash escaped. By the end of the battle, Bart had aged to 15 years old.

Caitlin and Harry had figured out the serum to Bart's problem and told Barry to get ready to absorb Bart's speed force energy. Barry had called Wally to help so Barry wouldn't take on a huge burden. Five minutes after Bart had drank the serum he released 3 huge bursts of Speed Force energy that Barry and Wally had absorbed.

After this, Barry decided it was time to train Bart. Bart wanted to join the Teen Titans but Barry decided to hold that off until he felt Bart was ready. Bart began the training horribly mostly because his head wasn't in it so Barry had the idea of making it competitive.

For every training exercise Bart completes, he would get 2 points. For every "test" Barry gave Bart, he would earn 5 points. By December 10th Bart had accumulated 90 points. And Barry made Bart train hard for the next 2 weeks.

On Christmas Eve, Bart had a final test, worth 10 points, and worked hard to beat it. And well, beat it he did. The next day, Bart had received a Christmas gift from the entirety of team Flash... his first super suit! And with this suit, Wally had passed to him the mantle of Kid Flash. His first mission with Team Flash was taking down The Turtle.

Kid Flash: 2011 - 2013


One of the first things he did as Kid Flash was join the Teen Titans. He met and became best friends with Tim Drake. He helped them seemingly defeat the H.I.V.E Five. He also helped Barry take down Abra Kadabra. He began hanging out with Jay more, seeing him as a mentor. He also helped the Teen Titans defeat H.I.V.E.

In 2012, Bart would help Barry defeat Captain Cold and his allies. He helped the Teen Titans locate missing teenagers. Bart would develop a close bond with Jay, seeing him as a grandfather figure. He then assisted the Teen Titans in taking down Harvest and N.O.W.H.E.R.E.

In 2013, his cousin Max gained Speed Force powers and Bart helped train him. Bart, the Titans, Young Justice, the League, etc would take down The Reach.

Impulse: 2013 - Present (2016)
When Max finished his training Bart allowed him to take the mantle of Kid Flash while Bart become Impulse. Afterwards, Bart left the Teen Titans and joined Young Justice. In 2014, Bart and the team began looking into metahuman trafficking. He also helped Barry against Reverse-Flash.

That same year, an evil speedster named Inertia attacked Bart. Soon after, Bart would go on to investigate Inertia. Soon after, Jay and Bart found out that Inertia was a guy named Thaddeus Thawne. It was revealed that Thaddeus was the son of Eobard. Eobard had raised Thad to hate the Allens and become his protégé.

Then in 2015, Jay, Bart, and Max were training when all of a sudden Inertia appeared and attacked them. Inertia would overpower Bart but Max and Jay would take down Intertia. He then ran away, disappearing. Afterwards, Bart and the team took down Granny Goodness. Bart helped Barry and Team Flash to take down the Rogues. In 2016, Bart, the team, Justice League, etc took down Darkseid and his invasion. Afterwards, he continued going on missions with the team and Team Flash.
