Superman in Adventures #533, March 1996, to Lois, about Bart: "Why couldn't it have been Jay Garrick? I /like/ Jay Garrick. Or that /new/ girl, Jesse Quick? I hear good things about /her/. But noooo, I get /Speedy Gonzales/."

    Superman: "Need a hand, kid?" Bart: "Call me Kid Flash, and get your big 'S' handed to you! The name's Impulse!" - Zero Hour, 1994

     "People can't understand why a man runs. They don't see any sport in it. Argue it lacks the sight and thrill of body contact. Yet, the conflict is there, more raw and challenging than any man versus man competition. For in running it is man against himself, the cruelest of opponents. The other runners are not the real enemies. His adversary lies within him, in his ability, with brain and heart to master himself and his emotions." Glenn Cunningham

    "You missed him playing down there?" Thad blinks. "Not really my sort of show, but they're called Henchgirls for Hire. Girl band, so he plays lead guitar in drag. It's some sort of ironic statement, only not."

    Ultra Boy begins to kneel next to Bart, saying, "Hold still, Bart. Lemme punch you."

    Bart: "Nobody understands me, Max." Max: "They understand you. They just can't BELIEVE you." Bart: "That's it. Cheer me up." --Impulse #13

    Thad holds up his hands defensively. "I'm sorry the killer slime mold from the future raised me to be so over-prepared the boyscouts said I needed to relax."

    Bart Allen nods silently, knowingly, and MEANINGfully at Thad. "She was evil for a while," he says reeeally quietly. "And then the HIVE took her over and beat us up. That's why I was painted red that one day. There were robot bees."

    Ace starts hauling at the vines. "BART!" she bellows as she does - girl has some impressive lungs on her. "THE CLUE PHONE IS RINGING! IT'S FOR YOU!"

     Bartacus, at least, has a giant on his side! A giant who's rushing the bad guy, um, with said Bartacus in his grasp. That's gonna make things interesting. "Woah, big dude--" wurvles Bart out-of-it-ly, "--Hulk /smash/. Yeah...grife, blon greh ro azh digyoor, pal..." The Giant, who we'll call Bruce #4, slings Bart across his back as soon as his little friend makes more than a couple of sounds in a row -- and totally goes fists-out at Mordecai! Big fists! Up in the air! Smashy smashy! "BAD! Friend say eat you head! I SMASH YOU HEAD!"
