EdwardKnoxII Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Posted August 11, 2004 http://www.hyperborea.org/flash/bart.html This site is great for all your Flash and other speedsters need. Bart inherited super-speed from his grandfather, Barry Allen, but his hyperaccelerated metabolism resulted in an accelerated growth rate. To keep him from going insane, scientists placed him in a virtual reality that kept pace with his own scale of time. Eventually it became clear that their efforts were not helping, so Bart's grandmother Iris took him to the 20th Century to consult her nephew, Wally West. Wally knew from experience the practicalities of super-speed in the field, unlike the scientists who had only observed it in the laboratory. Wally forced Bart into an extreme burst of speed that shocked his system into normalcy -- he retained his speed, but his accelerated growth rate dropped to normal. After Wally's encounter with the speed force, Max Mercury became Bart's guardian and trainer. Because of Bart's childhood in VR, he has no concept of danger and rarely thinks ahead, acting completely on... impulse. During a trip to the 31st Century (Impulse #75, 2001; see Dark Tomorrow), Bart was blasted by an experimental hyper-ray intended to give ordinary people super-speed. Instead it gave him the ability to create "scouts," energy-like avatars of himself which he could then send through the timestream, then absorb their memories when they returned. After one of his scouts was killed on Apokolips (Impulse #77) and the psychic feedback sent him into shock, he has been extremely reluctant to use his new power. Bart is also something of a time anomaly. Though his parents only met in post-Zero Hour continuity, he arrived in the 20th Century before the event hit. He has since displayed immunity to time alterations; he weathered Extant's manipulations of the timeline (Impulse: Bart Saves the Universe, 1999) and remembered Linda Park even after her disappearance (Impulse #1,000,000, 1998 & Flash #152, 1999). After a series of traumas - Carol's and Max's disappearances, Bart's near-death experience on Apokolips, the deaths of Lilith and Troia and dissolution of the Titans and Young Justice, and finally a gunshot wound to the knee, Bart decided to reinvent himself. He read every book in the San Francisco public library, and wove together a new costume, calling himself not Impulse, but Kid Flash. Bart currently lives with Jay and Joan Garrick in Keystone City.
Kurt Angle Mark Posted August 11, 2004 Report Posted August 11, 2004 For those who don't read the comics, who exactly is he and what role does he play? In the comics Bart is a superhero and is the grandson of the Flash, he has the same powers as the Flash. Therefore he will probably be the "Smallville" version of the Flash.
Mole Posted August 11, 2004 Report Posted August 11, 2004 Ohh okay, thanks. Does anyone else think that Smallville, this season, is going to be awesome? Looks like I won't be boycotting the WB.
EdwardKnoxII Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Posted August 11, 2004 To bad there's not a way to make Bart Allen look like he does in the comics. You know big head of hair, little body and really big feet. That would be to funny.
Kurt Angle Mark Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 WOW!!!! Here are two new pics of Lois Lane http://www.kryptonsite.com/s4gallery3.htm http://www.kryptonsite.com/s4gallery4.htm
Kurt Angle Mark Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 The WB showed the Season 4 premiere trailers last night Which can be seen right here
Youth N Asia Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 While I'm a big fan of the show, I hate that they've ended every single season on a cliffhanger. Sometimes it's just nice to get some kind of ending
DerangedHermit Posted September 8, 2004 Report Posted September 8, 2004 Yet another Superman universe character will be on Smallville, Mr. Myxzptlk or in Smallville, a "foreign exchange student named Mikhail Mxyzptlk, brought over to the States by Lionel Luthor before his prison stint because Lionel found him to be 'interesting.'". credit: kryptonsite.com
Anakin Flair Posted September 8, 2004 Report Posted September 8, 2004 While I'm a big fan of the show, I hate that they've ended every single season on a cliffhanger. Sometimes it's just nice to get some kind of ending Well they always, with rare exceptions, did that on Buffy and Angel. So I guess they saw a formula that worked and decided to stick to it.
LaParkaYourCar Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 Has anyone noticed or mentioned that Margot Kidder is also gonna be on the Season Premiere next week?
