ORIGIN:
Once upon a time there was this Genie... and EVIL
Genie, and he had plans of ruling the Earth, and he
had the means to as well, he was god.
Now, his bro didn't like this plan, so in a battle
they fought and this Genie was incarcerated into s small
glass prism, and buried down a hole never to be released.
Come 1998, guess what? In an archeological dig, one
guy found it, and thought it a toy for a young boy around
that time period. Taking it home for his son's 13th
birthday, he gave it to him. Bad idea, this kid, Matthew,
was a stuck up little snob, and just said coldly "I
wanted a Playtendo". Scorned he went to his room
to mope about his uncool parents. Looking at "the
stupid thing" he saw the Genie and promptly released
it. The Genie told him of the battle, and the power
he now possessed. As his anger for adults was controlling
him at the time he created a second reality, one where
there were no kids, only Adults and placed them there.
Now our Earth was The World Without Grown-ups. And renamed
himself Bedlam.
It was Earth's darkest hour, and only the teen heroes
could put things back to normal again. Enter Robin,
Impulse, and Superboy. Robin
stopping what he can in Gotham until his Motorcycle's
radar picked up a run away jet (flown by who? Well a
kid, DUH!). Impulse at the time putting animals back
into their proper places in Manchester saw the Jet above
and ran to see how he could help. Now Superboy was just
about "ran over" buy the sucker when he was
flying back to Cadmus to see what they were doing to
help (well... no Adults, who was running Cadmus?) Superboy
single handily stopped the run away jet and saved the
kid. Out in the middle of the desert he met up with
Robin and Impulse. Going back to the Batcave to see
what they could find out from the Bat-Computer he found
out that there wasn't even a JUSTICE LEAGUE TOWER on
the moon! They were really in deep s**t.
Back on "Adult World" at about the same time
with the Justice League in the tower thinking that they
were on the original world and that all the Kids had
been kidnapped, Batman was the first one to find out
that it was they the Adults that were kidnapped not
the children.
To make a long story short (I'm sure you don't want
to read what I have to say about the next issue and
a half so we'll cut to the chase) Impulse seemed to
be the only with a chance to beat Bedlam. His mind raced
at such super speed that whenever Bedlam would think
of something to use against the Boys (he was using Impulse's
mind as a... generator... to say) he would promptly
just say "Reset" and that image just disappeared.
Using this Robin, Superboy, and Impulse took him down
and returned the Adults to our Earth. Oh... and they
formed YOUNG JUSTICE to boot.
