Bart in the grandson to Barry Allen and Iris West-Allen, his father being Don Allen who is one of the Tornado twins. His aunt is Dawn Allen. Bart came from the future and ended up taking the role of Kid Flash when Wally West disappeared into the speed force as his mentor the Flash once did.

Bart’s first girlfriend was Carol Bucklen (Impulse #72). His second girlfriend was Valerie Perez (The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #8).

By the way, the main picture for Bart’s encyclopedia page is actually Bar Torr and not Bart Allen.

Bart Allen first appeared in live action for the Season 4 Smallville episode “Run,” as a street dwelling metahuman pickpocket. This version of Bart uses a variety of alias from fake or stolen IDs, including “Jay Garrick,” “Barry Allen,” and “Wally West.” He returns in Season 6 under the codename Impulse as part of Green Arrow’s team to take down Lex Luthor.
