My own headcanons surrounding his existence more or less make him as the neutron star of Speedsters - he was the scout of Bart's the died and went through a whole cosmic horror existence within the Speed Force itself until he was born again and now is this energy being that can essentially do things that not even normal speedsters can because he doesn't have a body and never did.

I saw him and immediately my brain said to draw him.

I just adore the concept of speedsters being the personification/embodiment of the Speed Force/those in the Speed Force like this Impulse and Sela Allen and Wally that one time. It’s just such a cool and interesting concept!

Summary

Over 800,000 years after Young Justice was formed by Kon, Bart and Tim - teens in their effigies piece together bits of physical history as the new Young Justice operating on Pluto. Everything seemed so simple to all three until Impulse begins to have unexplained memories of the past that threaten to challenge everything they thought they knew about him.

Excerpt

The space in Superboy’s mind was warm to Impulse. As a construct of the Speed Force, and a being that was never made of all that messy biological meat-stuff, engaging with the physical world was… an experience. Typically, Impulse didn’t ‘feel’ anything other than the unique vibrational hum of the universe and everything within it. But in Superboy’s mind he felt warm.  Anyone else’s head just felt like a head, lukewarm at best and gooey as tiny synapses crackled around him like static. Not Superboy’s. So long as he was in his head he felt as though he was wrapped up in blankets which was an odd thing for him to compare it to, because he couldn’t really remember ever being bundled in anything. At least he thought he didn’t.  He guessed Superboy’s mind just had that effect on him.  “Impulse! I know you’re in there. Get! Out!” the Superboy in question grumbled in mid-meeting with Robin.  “Meep!” Impulse squeaked as he exited his head. When he left he materialized like heatless fire caught in a sunbeam. “Sorry!”  “Man, why do ya gotta keep doin’ that! Knock it off!” Superboy rubbed his head in irritation and Impulse felt guilt scrape throughout him. He didn’t want to hurt Superboy, he just wanted to feel warm. 

He remembers all of Bart's life before his death, then nothing else. He might have even called himself Bart once, but that's so far gone from his history it cannot even count. He's someone new, he remembers the taste of water melon and the way how the light on Carol's glasses flickered. He remembers Kon's laugh and playing Random Trivia for hours but.... he is not that boy.

He died then and that in of itself became something like a birth for him as he was severed from his self forever.
