The Simpsons: Tapped Out Superheroes content update was released on February 18, 2015, under a new app version 4.13.0. This event follows on from the hint players were receiving Fallout Boy in Valentine's Day 2015. There will be three prize tracks in this event, like Halloween 2014. The event is split into four parts, theretically five with a "Crossover" planned. There is also crafting enabled at the Android's Dungeon, and Personal Prizes for each part. The event will end on March 31, 2015.

The premise of the event is Criminals invading Springfield. Part One of the event began on February 17, 2015 at 8am (GMT). Part Two will begin on February 22 at 8am, Part Three on March 10 at 8am, the "Crossover" starts on March 23 at 9am, Part Four begins March 24 at 8am, and the event ends March 31 at 8am.

Carbon Rods and Freeze Rays are currency (presumably for Part 1).

The first version of the event was released on February 18, 2015, file-named: "v4_13_SUPERHEROES_PATCH1_PRELAUNCH".

This update contains a new, event-exclusive cutscene which formulates the questline, which means that the update will require needing access to "Photos/Media/Files" on Android devices prior to installing.

After installing there is a 13.5MB update, then a 32.2MB, then a 430.4MB. There is a new font and dialogue layout (system messages also). There is new ambient music.
