I mean, why would anyone need to be both and is "Black Flash" really a thing? "White Flash"? What? 23.5% of you were sure this was the lie and...
WRONG!
This is TRUE. You can read this phenomenal event in Kid Flash Lost #3 where all within the same issue he goes from the Black Flash to the White Flash.
Kid Flash Lost #3
So which is the lie?
Fortunately the LIE was the second most popular vote!
Bart very rarely has interacted with horses, and he never fell off of one during a school trip, nor did have to pretend to be hurt!

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!
"He almost forfeited his secret identity to reports child abuse" came in at a paltry 1.6%, which I am glad for because this comes directly from one of the most talked about issues of Bart's solo.
Impulse (1995) #6
Bart, while as Impulse, watches as his friend Preston is beaten by his mother. The climax comes after 20 pages of chilling narration unveiling that Preston's abuse is severe and has been progressively getting worse. After going to Max for advice on what to do, Max urges him that he needs to be certain that abuse is happening, and if he witnesses it as Impulse, then forfeiting his identity to report it is the right thing to do.
Bart was prepared to reveal that he was Impulse to protect his friend but he didn't need to because Preston self-reported before him.
5.3% of you were wrong to think Bart didn't punch Wally when he first met him.
The Flash (1987) #92
Okay maybe he wasn't punching him he was fighting him, so it's a half truth, sorry - but he's clearly going to punch him.
1.9% believed Bart never jumped into a river 🌊 to save one of his friends despite not knowing how to swim 🏊♂️
Impulse (1995) #13
Bless this boy.
Quite a few of you, 14.4% believed he couldn't write in cursive...
Impulse (1995) #1
The first issue shows Bart clearly writing in cursive.
3.8% believed his suit did not inspire the Post-Zero Hour Legion of Super-Heroes outfits.... Why would it?
Impulse (1995) #9
Bart also was shown meeting R.J. Brande, the founder of the Legion of Super-Heroes, in a later issue which may have helped put the seed in his head that super powered teens could be vessels of hope across the galaxy. So Bart unknowingly did a whole lot for the PZH team by simply doing nothing.
6.3% of you were probably wondering what the fuck, what half-brother would Bart have that he doesn't know about? Is it Thad? Thad right? Thad's not a half brother...
Wrong. This is referring to Owen Mercer whose mother was revealed to be Meloni Thawne, Bart's mother.
The Flash (1987) #224
The Flash (1987) #225
Bart never finds this out, and they never make the connection they are brothers.
2.2% thought it was impossible that one of Bart's friends would have spend more time with his mother than he ever did. Well sadly this is true, even Captain Boomerang spent more time with her than he did (see above).
At this point, Kon probably spent more time around her than he did.
Anyway...
Impulse (1995) #88
After the Dark Tomorrow story arc when Carol was forced to remain in the future, Meloni takes her in as they bop around time together. This eventually lands them in a sinister game-show where their torment is entertainment. We don't have an exact length of time Carol spends with Meloni but it's been at least weeks and that's longer than Bart ever had with her.
Messed up innit?
To quote one person voting; why on Earth would Bart remember Linda and not Wally? 7.2% couldn't imagine so either.
It is still fact.
The Flash (1987) #152
11.3% believed he would never cheat at gambling. Wrong.
The New Titans (1988) #118
Oh OH sorry, he "didn't cheat" he just has fast eyes winkwink.
And finally...
5.6% didn't believe Bart would go against an order from Wally to not shut down a reform school that was torturing kids...
Well, sadly the 'reform school' was Wally's father's project and Wally thought it was best to keep everyone's nose out of it. Including Bart's.
Bart disagreed.
Impulse (1995) #49
Granted, Wally was going to investigate it himself but he directly told Bart to not intervene. Note: in this issue everyone was telling Bart to stay away from pursuing this, including Max.
