Bart West-Allen

Singing
Expert marksmanship
Skilled hand to hand combat

**Bartholomew "Bart" Allen** is a character in Arrowverse, debuting in the  series *The Flash*. He is the future son of Barry Allen and Iris West and Nora's younger brother. Like his sister and father, Bart is a speedster and uses his super speed to fight crime in Central City with Nora, becoming known as the speedster **Impulse** and has become the arch-enemy of Godspeed.

He is based on Bart Allen and an allusion to Don Allen. Unlike the comics, Bart is Barry and Iris's grandson as opposed to their son in the television series

## History

In the original timeline, he doesn't exist because of Barry's disappearance during the Anti-Monitor Crisis. Because that future was avoided due to Oliver Queen's sacrifice instead, Bart is born in the distant future.  He and his sister are a crime-fighting duo inspired by their parents to use their powers as vigilantes.  However, Bart and Nora sometimes argue on how to fight a villain and have a dynamic similar to Iris and Wally when they were younger.
