'''Bartman''' (or "'''The Bartman'''") is Bart's alter-ego. His alias is [[Bart Simpson]]. His powers are grappling a hook, climbing walls, and gliding. He can also throw [[Bartarang]]s.

== History ==
When Bart and [[Lisa]] attended a [["Close Encounter of the Comic Book Kind" Convention|comic book convention]] they didn't know they could get a discount for dressing as a superhero. Bart quickly ran into a phone booth and put on a mask and cape calling himself "Bartman", although he still had to pay full-price.<ref>"[[Three Men and a Comic Book]]"</ref> He also told a story of Bartman when trying to convince everyone that revenge is great, but in the story Bartman had a full suit and equipment.

Bart wore the mask when he entered [[KBBL]]'s gross-out contest.<ref>"[[They Saved Lisa's Brain]]"</ref>

=== The Real Story ===
In The Bartman comics, Bartman fights bullies and super villains who pop up in Springfield. This series ran for 6 issues in the 90s, but Bartman still frequently appears in the Simpsons Comic Universe.

=== Video Games ===
In ''[[Bart vs. The World]]'', Bart can find a power-up item that for a short time turns him into Bartman with the power to fly.

In ''[[Bartman Meets Radioactive Man]]'', while reading comic books in his treehouse, Bart was surprised when [[Fallout Boy]] appeared and told him that {{Ch|Radioactive Man}} had been captured by villains. Bart became Bartman and travelled inside his comic book to save his hero. He and [[Houseboy]] later teamed up with [[Shelbyville]]'s [[Fighting Owl]] and {{ap|Four-Eyes|The Crimespree on Springfield 2!}} to defeat [[Squirrel Girl]]. Items can give him powers like laser vision and ice breath.

In ''[[The Simpsons Skateboarding]]'', one of Bart's possible skateboards includes a picture of Bartman.

In ''[[The Simpsons: Hit & Run]]'', Bartman is one of Bart's available costumes in {{ap|Level 6|The Simpsons: Hit & Run}}.

In ''[[The Simpsons Game]]'', Bart can transform into [[The Simpsons Game abilities#Bartman|Bartman]], which gives him the ability to fire his slingshot and glide with his cape. Later on, he can also fire grappling hooks at certain targets.
