Biography
Andrew Schultz was an average 16 year old high school student. He lived with his mother, and never met his father, who left before he was born. One night Andrew was struck by a bolt of lightning that changed his life. The bolt of lightning gave him the power to control electricity. He later found out that the reason for him getting in this accident was the doing of the Olympian God, Zeus. Zeus came to Andrew in a vision, he revealed to him that he was his father, and needed his help. Zeus was killed by Ares, and he needed to guide Andrew into his resurrection so he could stop Ares's evil dictatorship as the new king of Olympus. Zeus successfully guided Andrew in his resurrection and together they defeated Ares. As a reward for his bravery and accomplishments, Zeus gave Impulse one of his lightning bolts. Zeus also revealed to Andrew that he was born with the gift he has, but It was not activated until Zeus sent the lightning to strike him. He also told Andrew that he should use his gift to help those in need. Impulse would go on to protect his city and become a founding member of Genesis.
