'''Meloni Thawne-Allen''' is a supporting character in the [[DC Comics]] Universe, and the mother of [[Bart Allen]].  She first appeared in ''Impulse'' #23 (March 1997).  She was created by writer [[Mark Waid]] and artists [[Humberto Ramos]] and [[Wayne Faucher]].

==Fictional character biography==
Meloni lives in the [[30th Century]] (which is, among other things, the time of the [[Legion of Superheroes]]) and is the daughter of President Thawne, a descendant of the [[Professor Zoom|Reverse Flash]] and [[Cobalt Blue]].  She is married to Don Allen, son of [[Flash (Barry Allen)|Barry Allen]] (who was living in the 30th century with his wife [[Iris Allen]]) and one of the [[Tornado Twins]].  Their marriage brought to an end a long-standing feud between the two super-speedy families.  She gave birth to [[Bart Allen]], whose accelerated metabolism made it necessary to send him back to our time where he could be cured of his rapid aging by [[Wally West]].  Meloni, who had been told that Bart died after being kidnapped by alien invaders, eventually discovered that he was still alive in the 20th century.  She travelled to the 20th century to retrieve her now-teenaged son, but eventually let him return to the past.

Her personality seemed very similar to that of her son, who was first aptly known as Impulse.  She was scatterbrained and possessed of a tendency to rush in and act without a plan.

It has recently been revealed that Meloni is the mother of Owen Harkness, formerly [[Owen Mercer]], the new [[Captain Boomerang]], having conceived him by the original Boomerang, who was trapped in the 30th Century.  It is theorized{{Fact|date=August 2007}} that due to her genetic connection to the Thawnes, Owen inherited a fraction of superspeed, although Meloni has never exhibited this ability herself. 

It is unknown whether she gave birth to Bart or Owen first, or how Owen made it back to our own time.
