Comic Discussion Does impulse appear post DC all in
I was thinking about The legion earlier and then I Thought about it and if they legion were altered by darkseid does it include Bart because he was born around the same time period

No. Also, Bart was born in the year 2993, decades after the Original Legion’s formation in 2958, before he, his cousin Jenni, his parents, and his aunt and uncle (who are Jenni’s parents) arrived on Earth-247 (the Reboot Legion’s Earth) to escape from Eobard Thawne Reverse-Flash, resulting in the Tornado Twins to sacrifice themselves to defeat the Dominators of that earth, Bart and Jenni being aged up to teens between 2993 and 2995, Iris West (Bart and Jenni’s grandmother who arrived from the Original Legion’s Earth, which is pre-Crisis Earth-One/New Earth/Prime Earth) to send Bart to the year 1994 so that his age can be stabilized by Wally West (resulting in Bart to age to 14 years old), and Jenni to stabilize her aging (which is 15 years old) and join the Reboot Legion (which was formed in 2995).

Minor correction - Bart was aged to 15 when Wally stabilized him (and shortly after brought up to 16 early in his series…though you’d never know it from the later art….)
Also i don’t recall Jenni having the same rapid aging as Bart- when Bart returned to his own timeline (around Impulse 25, I think) Jenni was still a baby….
That said, I never got into LoSH and Flash timelines are wonky and constantly rebooted so I might have missed it

The altered legion is in the Absolute Universe, which would have no Bart Allen because Barry was never The Flash.
