What were their ages? In the annual "Who Killed Laurel Kent" they didn't seem very young.
And then in the post ZH Legion they were parents to Impulse and XS. Impulse I know was aged quickly but was XS as well?

Pre-Crisis, they were the same age as the Silver Age Legionnaires and yes, their super-speed was temporary to honor their ancestor, Barry Allen.
Bart's origin is based on the pre-ZH/5 year later Legion and appears in a text piece. If I remember correctly, he's named "Barry" to honor his (post-Crisis version) grandfather Barry Allen.
Post-ZH, the above origin remained intact (just without the Legion connection as such) and is supposed to happen sometime prior to the founding of the Legion. When XS joined, it was shown that the "Tornado Twins" had died as adults earlier due to Dominator experimentation. Therefore, Don and Dawn Allen were much older than the ZH-Legion and Dawn mothered a daughter the Legionnaires' age.

Nightcrawler is correct. not all ages translated equally; Shvaugn was also significantly older in Reboot (if not as much as the Allens).

wow, that's pretty cool. Another set of Tornado Twins.
Add that with Cyclone Cousins (XS & Impulse) and we got some cool kids!

So 5YL, when the Tornado Twins die shutting down the Dominator lab, did they give themselves speed again, or was it retconned that they'd always had speed naturally?

EDE, I'd always read that as Don was having a moment-of-death fantasy of saving himself and Dawn, as evidenced by the final panel where they're both fried anyway.
The obit/news piece that follows mentions that their speed powers were only temporary.

And an alliterative alternative... how 'bout the Comet Cousins (giving that repeating 'hard c' for true alliteration). Cometing Cousins?

They've already done away with the Tornado Twin outfits! (Boo!)
Apparently Jai is either about to go through a tremendous growth spurt, or he can 'bulk up' at will. And Iris has a truly freaky flying pose on the last page. Or is she running? Not Acuna's best, IMO.
