Powers

Lori is able to steal the powers of any magic-user she chooses, regardless of where her target may be. She also gains the knowledge of how to activate the powers along with them.

The original user cannot use their powers so long as Lori has them. She can only borrow the powers for a short time before they revert back to their original wielder.

Lori can only take one person's powers at a time. However, nothing stops her from borrowing someone's powers again.

When Lori steals someone's powers, her clothes become a hybrid of her own and her target's (e.g., when she steals the powers of Shazam, her clothes become a Goth version of the Captain Marvel costume).

Lori's power works regardless of the source of her victim's abilities, so long as they are magic-based. She has been seen to steal the powers of Doctor Fate, Zatanna, Shazam, and the Spectre, among others

+==History==
-'''Bart Allen''' was born to [[Don Allen]], the son of [[Barry Allen]], the second Flash, and his wife [[Meloni Thawne|Meloni]], the daughter of [[President Thawne]] of Earth and descendent of the evil [[Professor Zoom]], in the late [[30th century]]. Bart was born with his grandfather's speed. He had incredibly high metabolism and also aged at hyperspeed. When he was two years old, he physically looked twelve. The [[Thawne family]] had hated the [[Allen family]] for hundreds of years. President Thawne had the [[Dominators]] kill Don and his twin sister, [[Dawn Allen|Dawn]]. The Dominators kidnapped Bart, who was later captured by [[Earthgov]] for observation. The scientists of Earthgov raised him in a virtual reality environment so that he aged as swiftly mentally as he did physically. Bart was going to die of old age and Earthgov was not doing anything to fix his problem. His grandmother [[Iris Allen|Iris]] took him away and brought him back to the 20th century, so that her nephew, [[Wally West]], the second Flash, could show him how to control his speed.  He adopted the identity '''Impulse'''.
+Black Alice first appeared as one-shot character in [[Birds of Prey]]. The Birds of Prey traveling the country stopped Black Alice from destroying a shopping mall in a jealous rage. She felt abandoned by both her friends and family and lost control of her powers. The Birds of Prey sent the teenager to live and be trained by Dr. Fate. The next time she was seen, she was helping the Shadowpact in their battle against the [[Spectre]] during [[Day of Vengeance]].  <br>
-After Wally helped him solve his problem and Bart helped him to defeat [[Kobra]], Bart moved to [[Manchester, Alabama]] with [[Max Mercury]].  Wally had used his connections to supply Bart with a birth certificate, etc.  Bart began the ninth grade at [[Manchester Junior High]]. He managed to make quite a few friends, chief among them [[Carol Bucklen]].  Max continued to train him in the art of superspeed, having him run obstacle courses while dodging axes and knives, solving jigsaw puzzles in mid-air, and the like.   During this time, he became one of the founding members of [[Young Justice]].
-Following Max's disappearance, he was taken in by [[Jay Garrick]], the first Flash, and his wife [[Joan Garrick|Joan]].
-[[Image:Bartallen.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Bart as Kid Flash]]Following the breakup of Young Justice, Bart joined the new [[Teen Titans]]. He soon had his kneecap blown out by [[Deathstroke]] (who was at the time possessed by [[Jericho]]) and replaced with an artificial one. While recovering, Bart read every single book in the San Francisco Public Library and reinvented himself as the new '''Kid Flash'''. Even with the artificial kneecap, he could still run close to light speed.
-After [[Superboy-Prime]] attacked [[Conner Kent]] (Superboy) in [[Smallville]] and injured or killed many Teen Titans, Bart joined with Wally West and Jay Garrick to stop the rampage of Superboy-Prime by running him at top speed into the [[Speed Force]]. Jay reached his limit before entering the Speed Force and Wally turned into energy and vanished, leaving Bart alone with Superboy-Prime. Barry Allen, [[Johnny Quick]] and Max Mercury, all of whom had previously been absorbed into the Speed Force, appeared and aided Bart. After taking Superboy-Prime into the Speed Force, Barry told Bart that "Wally is waiting for you". After they disappeared, Jay claimed that the Speed Force was gone.
-[[Image:bart52.jpg|right|frame|Bart after returning from the Speed Force]]
-A speedster wearing Barry's costume returned in Tokyo shortly thereafter to warn of the return of Superboy-Prime. This same Flash, still wearing Barry Allen's costume, would appear in the middle of the Battle of Metropolis against the army of escaped supervillains. Superboy-Prime reveals that the person in the Flash costume is Bart Allen, years older. Bart explains to the nearby [[Wonder Girl]] (who is suprised by her fellow Titan's transformation) that his grandfather's uniform was the only thing that could survive the trip back from where he had been, and that he was the only one there "who could still run". Bart then unleashed his anger against Superboy Prime for killing Conner Kent, pummeling him at superspeed and forcing Superboy to retreat from the battle. When the crisis is over, Bart explained to Jay that he spent years in an unknown dimension where he grew older. Bart confirmed that the Speed Force was destroyed and he used up the residual speed locked in his body fighting in Metropolis. He gave Barry's costume to Jay and says Jay was now the fastest man alive again.
-===One Year Later===
-Bart shunned his super-heroic past for the next year.  He got a job working at [[Keystone Motors]] and began sharing an apartment with another young man named [[Griffin Grey]].  However, he was still connected to the Speed Force, but the connection threatened to kill him.  [[S.T.A.R. Labs]] modified one of his grandfather's old costumes to help him control his connection.  He only donned it, however, to rescue [[Valerie Perez]], a young S.T.A.R. intern, from an explosion at the lab.  Bart and Val began to show romantic interest in one another.
-===Alternate Timelines===
-====Titans of Tomorrow====
-*In this storyline, Bart assumed the mantle of the Flash after the current Flash died in a "Crisis". In this alternate future, he was able to steal the speed of others, a power he used on his past self. At first, he appeared to be working with the Titans of Tomorrow, but was secretly spying on those Titans on the behalf of the resistance group formed by the [[Cyborg]] of this alternate future, [[Titans East]]. In this future, Bart had a romantic relationship with [[Rose Wilson]], the Ravager.

 ==Powers==
+Lori is able to steal the powers of any magic-user she chooses, regardless of where her target may be. She also gains the knowledge of how to activate the powers along with them.
-'''Known Powers:'''
+The original user cannot use their powers so long as Lori has them. She can only borrow the powers for a short time before they revert back to their original wielder.
-'''Super Speed''': can run and move their limbs at superhuman speeds. Over the years, this has fluctuated from his career as Kid Flash, where he could approach the speed of light, to the beginning of his career as The Flash, in which he was limited to a top speed of approximately 700 MPH. In recent years, with the knowledge and mastery of the Speed Force at his disposal, Bart has managed to reach the seemingly impossible speeds, reaching as fast as the speed of thought. Bart is able to run across the surface of large bodies of water such as oceans. West can create wind vortexes by running in circles or rotating his arms and legs.
+Lori can only take one person's powers at a time. However, nothing stops her from borrowing someone's powers again.
-'''Speed Force Avatars''': He has the ability to produce "scouts", Speed Force avatars he could send through the timestream, but has infrequently used it since the death of one put him in a coma.
+When Lori steals someone's powers, her clothes become a hybrid of her own and her target's (e.g., when she steals the powers of Shazam, her clothes become a Goth version of the Captain Marvel costume).
-'''Time Alteration Resistance''': He has also proven resistant to alterations in the time stream, possibly due to an oddity of his origin; his parents met only in post-Zero Hour continuity, but he actually arrived before the event.
+Lori's power works regardless of the source of her victim's abilities, so long as they are magic-based. She has been seen to steal the powers of [[Doctor Fate]], [[Zatanna]], [[Shazam]], and the [[Spectre Force|Spectre]], among others
-'''Photographic Memory''': Most recently, it has been discovered that, unlike other speedsters, his photographic memory allows him to recall everything from his speed-reading. For several issues after this revelation, Bart was shown spouting encyclopedic information concerning the situation at hand.<br>
-'''Superhuman Reflexes'''
-'''Air Friction Reduction Aura''': possesses an aura that prevents air friction from affecting his body and clothes while moving.
-'''Speed Force Conduit''': Speed Force is a vaguely defined extradimensional energy force from which most superspeed-powered heroes draw their powers. The Speed Force serves as the ultimate measure of velocity in the DCU. They are often referred to in terms of barriers: Sound barrier, Light barrier, Time Barrier, Dimensional Barrier, and finally the Speed Force Barrier. Since Infinite Crisis, Bart's connection to the Speed Force has been more difficult to control. When he taps into the Speed Force, Bart appears to have electricity crackling around him, and has become so lethal, that he needs to wear the Flash suit while running in order to prevent it from killing him
-*'''''Metabolize Wounds''''': Accelerating his healing factor while using the Force to sustain him, he could heal from grievous injury
-*'''''Superhuman Stamina''''': Due to his connection with the Speed Field, Bart's stamina recuperates at an accelerated rate.
-'''Molecular Control''': ability to control the vibration of his molecules to the degree that he could vibrate through solid objects. West can cause whatever he vibrates through to explode
-Flashes and other super-speedsters also have the ability to speak to one another at a highly accelerated rate.
-'''Known Abilities:''' No known abilities. <br>
-'''Strength Level:''' Kid Flash possesses the strength level of a male teenager who engages in moderate regular exorcise.  <br>
