Inertia is a clone of Bart Allen from the future who had done horrible crimes before the Flashpoint, but was lost in the Speed Force sometime after the timeline shift happened. Eobard Thawne struck a deal to get Inertia and help him take over Bart Allen's body to pose as the new Kid Flash, if Inertia stopped Barry Allen once he was trapped inside the Speed Force after Eobard took over his body to pose as the Flash.

As planned, Inertia suddenly attacked Barry, when he was trapped. Barry however refused to fight since he saw him as a kid in a pain, telling him he doesn't have to be like Thawne and that he can make his own path, to which Thaddeus responded by going away, wishing Barry good luck on fighting the Legion of Zoom and saying that if they weren't all in the wrong vibrational frequency, he'd join them in fighting the Flash Family.

Inertia first fought Impulse. When Bart aged five years after Infinite Crisis and became the Flash, Inertia fought his genetic template again. Inertia was responsible for Allen's apparent death; Wally West returned, taking revenge by paralyzing Inertia and installing him in the Flash Museum. In Final Crisis: Rogues' Revenge, Inertia was used by Libra and Zoom to try to get the Rogues to join the Secret Society. Inertia stole Zoom's powers, called himself Kid Zoom and was apparently killed by the Rogues, who blamed him for making them kill Bart.

Inertia patterns his appearance as an inverted depiction of Impulse.

Gathering the Rogues, he attempted to drain Bart's powers for himself; the plan backfired when Wally returned and Inertia's equipment drained the Speed Force, making the Rogues accidentally beat Bart to death. As Inertia tried to escape, he was captured by Wally who steals his speed, leaving him immobile.

Inertia is primarily a speedster, remaining disconnected from the Speed Force after Infinite Crisis and injecting himself with Velocity 9. Although Velocity 9 has been unstable, Deathstroke's new variety seems to have no negative side effects. Inertia briefly shared his powers with Zoom, who lends him his speed to pressure him into becoming a new Kid Flash. As the maddened Kid Zoom, he masters human time streams and reverts Zoom to the powerless Hunter Zolomon before he is defeated and presumably killed by the Rogues.

However, Inertia later reappeared due to Doctor Manhattan's modifications on the timeline, but is currently trapped in the Speed Force.

Inertia tried to stop Barry Allen, Max Mercury, and Jesse Quick from escaping the Speed Force, revealing that Eobard Thawne promised to release him and let him take over Bart Allen's body once the former succeeded in his plans. After Barry tries to appeal and talk sense into him, Inertia stops his attacks and runs off.
