| Origin |
| Bart Allen inherited
super-speed from his grandfather Barry Allen's (Flash
II) side of the family, but his hyper-accelerated metabolism resulted
in an accelerated growth rate. To retard Bart's grown and maintain his sanity, 30th
Century scientists placed him in a virtual reality that kept pace with his
own pace of time. When it became clear their efforts were not helping,
Bart's grandmother Iris West took him to the 20th Century to consult her
nephew Wally West (Flash III). Unlike the 30th Century scientists,
West knew from
experience the intricacies of super-speed. He forced the young
speedster into an
extreme burst of speed that shocked his system and normalized his growth
rate.
After a life threatening encounter with the
Speed
Force, West had
Max Mercury become
Bart's guardian and trainer. Because of his childhood living in a
virtual reality, Bart had no concept of danger and rarely thinks ahead,
acting completely on... Impulse. After
learning his idol Wally West had little faith in his maturity coupled with
a traumatic physical altercation with the assassin
Deathstroke,
Bart decided it was time to grow up and utilize his abilities to their
full potential as Kid Flash. |
