Background: Born in Denver, Thomas Steadworth lived a mundane life until one summer, he found a magic crystal in the Rocky Mountains on a family vacation which granted him the power of super-speed. He would keep his powers a secret for the next year while training himself to better handle them until he met William De'Fux, a self-proclaimed master thief, and con artist who had a special interest in the crystals. After Thomas absorbed the crystal's energy, De'Fux had somehow tracked traces of its energy to Denver and therefore the Steadworth house. Once he saw that it had indeed been absorbed, William had no reason to stay around and planned to league, but not before Thomas asked to go with him. Seeing his life as boring and uninteresting, Thomas was enamored with De'Fux and his adventuristic lifestyle. Though William declined, Thomas would follow him with the help of his powers, forcing William to take on the young boy as his war and leaving his old life behind. The two would travel together, searching for other remaining crystals until they separated after William attempted to take his powers from him. Sometime later. Impulse would be in Smallville when a Doomsday clone attacked the town. Thomas attempted to stop the monster and keep the people safe, but it wasn't until after the arrival of the Justice Teens that the tides had changed. Once the beast was dead, he would be offered membership to the team, taking the name Impulse.

​

Personality: Coming in 2007, Tommy’s relationship with the league would forever bind him to the mysteries of the world. His charming personality and warm energy were the remedy for Blurr’s harsh and complex system in the league. Often seen as a daredevil and quick to jump into something, Impulse slowly mellowed out as he got older. When Frost Teen joined in 2008, Impulse was open about expressing his dislike to adding younger than thirteen-year-olds to the league, worried they’d be scarred from the experiences the Justice Teens dealt with on a regular basis. As the years passed and the J.T.A added more members, Impulse created a study room where members who couldn’t be seen in public would be taught all that needed to be known. Tommy was loyal to the Justice Teens and those who served beside them.

A Justice Teen through and through, and he's been around long enough to see the changes in the world's tide, and prepares the Justice Teens to take each wave when it comes.
