Bart Allen, but it's a design like it's an impulse in the absolute universe!!
So, basically, this Bart is a refugee from a dead timeline. He wears baggy clothes to hide the cooling suit that keeps his temperature within a normal range, and VR because his eyes are unable to focus on the real world except through a screen.
His future timeline was declared redundant after the consolidation of the Absolute Universe, so it began to collapse while he was inside a cryogenic stasis capsule. He was the only thing that survived thanks to the accumulated energy his body emitted.
He was a test subject in a sub-branch of the Olympus experiment, decades ago, created to push human potential to its limits, conducted by Barry Allen and Eleanor Thawne in the current Absolute Flash continuity (#10? I don't know, I hope DC doesn't change this or I'm going to cry).
The idea was to make scientific advancements that would "liberate" humanity: instantaneous time travel, the ability to communicate with anyone, anywhere, the ability to detect any disease or defect at a molecular level and treat it before it even occurs.
This was government-funded, so the real idea was to create more and better weapons.
At some point in the past (Flash Absolute #2), during tests to prove its effectiveness, the machine malfunctioned, hitting Wally instead of the intended test subject. Wally, then 15 years old, gained super speed. But as a teenager with a more developed body, his energy was unstable and uncontrolled because his newly formed cells struggled against friction; therefore, he was discarded, but not his cells. To create a perfect human weapon, they would have to implement speed and energy at a cellular level, someone who grew up with this power from a young age and from within. So, they used the womb of a descendant, along with cells collected from the failed experiment.
Many years later, before Bart even had the consciousness to perceive reality and recognize himself in it, he was already being used by scientists to study his body and abilities. As soon as he was born, he was separated from his mother and kept captive in a cryogenic capsule to freeze his growth, fed by cooling probes and trained by dozens of simulations in his head.
I have a lot more lore, but I'm a little embarrassed to continue 🩷kajdjxk
