It is apparent that the people in Impulse's future aren't the docile sheep the Reach would have wanted them to be. Meaning the "wait a few generations" plan didn't quite go to uplan.

And you can't really consider Impulse's super-metabolism as curing him of Reach apathy. Neutron, in fact, assisted him. And Neutron only had nuking powers.
