As far as I can tell, the first time Bart was formally called Impulse was in Zero Hour #3. http://bartallenimpulse.blogspot.com/2014/04/zero-hour-3.htmlDallinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12077214646519366484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576434651382736087.post-21703065530284461542018-03-19T13:38:44.877-06:002018-03-19T13:38:44.877-06:00For what it's worth, there are several canonic...For what it's worth, there are several canonical versions of the origins of Bart's codename, one of which literally happens in the ZH miniseries itself, IIRC. There's also a reference to it early in his original 90s Teen Titans run. :V But I haven't thought about this in years and am not at all sure where in my apartment the issues are. u.uMiss Parsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389273634506977276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576434651382736087.post-1840129321467834292016-05-21T08:57:48.588-06:002016-05-21T08:57:48.588-06:00That's a pretty interesting theory.

Either way, it still is a little strange, but interesting nonetheless. And I think most good comics are strange and interesting.Dallinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12077214646519366484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576434651382736087.post-60566783994367584902016-05-21T04:04:28.749-06:002016-05-21T04:04:28.749-06:00(Grain of salt, since this involves fan-theories a...(Grain of salt, since this involves fan-theories and the like).<br /><br />"While it is odd to consider this secret lab surviving and raising a clone for hundreds of years"<br /><br />I read a fanfic whose writer was just as confused by this "hundreds of years" backstory; they eventually decided to explain it (in-story) as a lie fed to Thad during his growth (said fic also had him grow at a more-or-less normal human rate, so about 15 years, just in time for the Legion's debut/early period if I'm getting the timeline right). Which I think makes quite a fair bit of sense when you consider his character arc in this series.<br /><br />On the other hand, you could always consider the lab as a "time flows slower on the inside" kind of thing...Kalavinkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831802918741508132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576434651382736087.post-64166282976832321832016-05-17T22:01:58.216-06:002016-05-17T22:01:58.216-06:00Thanks for the tip!

I check it multiple times a week for updates. :)<br /><br />For the 100 page spectaculars, I recommend seeing if your local comic store sells Golden Age covers individually. The Golden Age comics were much larger than the modern ones, and I've found the covers for those comics fit those larger 100 page books quite well. Just a suggestion. Looking forward to more!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
