## Biography

### Early Life

Runk, an old family friend of his parents, helped him. He was taught how to control his powers and how Wally taught him how to meditate. The person he loved most was senior speedster Jay Garrick, who he and Nora loved as an uncle. He saw Bart's impulsiveness as a strength and not a weakness.

At some point before or during 2049, Bart became a vigilante in Central City along with his sister. However, Bart became angry when August Heart/Godspeed murdered his uncle Jay right in front of him. Bart became known as the Adversary to the Godspeed Clones.

## Personality

Bart was impulsive and always eager to rush into danger without getting the information first. Similar to his father, Bart is an exceptional singer, excitable and a fast talker. Despite his bickering with his older sister, it is evident that Bart and Nora love each other when they use their powers protecting Central City. He loved his uncle Jay Garrick. In a potential future, Godspeed murdered Jay, which angered Bart similar to how Barry felt towards Eobard when he killed Bart's grandmother.
