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.

The Death of a Hero
The Death of a Hero Pt. 1
| After logging into your town:
|
| System Message (top left)
|
Somewhere in Springfield, a new evil rises!
|
|
Mmm... Pie.
|
|
Homie, come back to bed. You're sweets-walking again.
|
|
|
Mmm... must fling pie!
|
|
|
Homer! Where are you going?
|
|
|
... PIE!!
|
Task: Make Homer Fling Pies Indoors (30m, Simpson House)
After task finishing:
|
|
|
Kids, have you seen your father? He was acting funny in bed last night. And it wasn't Jimmy Fallon funny.
|
|
|
I just hope he passes out somewhere safe.
|
After pressing "OK" you are taken to the "Vigilantes" character collection. After clicking back arrow or cross:
Quest reward: 100 and  10

|
| System Message (top left)
|
Meanwhile. On the other side of town...
|
|
Lenny, look! It's our fruit-filled friend, Pie Man!
|
|
I know it ain't pie, but could you autograph my sandwich, Pie Man?
|
| File:Pie Man Icon.png
|
PIE!
|
|
|
Arghh!! You pie'd my eye! Why Pie Man? Why?
|
Task: Make Pie Man Fling Indiscriminate Pies at Springfielders (4h)
After task finishing:
|
| System Message (top left)
|
All across Springfield...
|
|
Instead of my morning muffin, my wakeup call was a pie in the puss.
|
|
Someone hob-cobblered our house of worship! What Pontius Pie-lat dares wash their hands of this?
|
|
The greatest insult of all - my own putrid pies thrown back at me!
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
The Death of a Hero Pt. 3
| After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark:
|
|
Dad, I mean... um, Dad-man, I mean... Pie-Dad, I mean...
|
|
Could we stop pretending the passed-out guy smeared with pie filling and "Homer" in Magic Marker on his underwear isn't Dad?
|
|
|
I don't get it. Pie Man is supposed to be putting a crimp in this city's bad crust.
|
| System Message (top left)
|
What turned the right-minded Pie Man into a wrong-doing super-dud?
|
| System Message (top left)
|
Looks like it's up to Radioactive Man and Fallout Boy to take a slice out of Pie Man's crimes
|
Task: Build the Superior Squad HQ (4h)
After building complete:
|
|
|
What?! How can comic book characters be in Springfield?
|
|
You're splitting rails about outside characters, now?!
|
| Space Mutant
|
We've infected your Earth since it was formed "mumble-mumble" years ago!
|
|
At this juncture the rules of Springfield and science have been broken. You need to just deal *ahem* with it.
|
After tapping "OK": you are taken to the Superheroes character collection. After pressing the back arrow or cross:
Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Death of a Hero Pt. 4

|
| File:Fallout Boy Icon.png
|
Heapin' high blood pressure! That forty-eight waist-product is acting strange, Radioactive Man.
|
| File:Radioactive Man Icon.png
|
You're right. It's obvious he's under the influence of some kind of mind-control ray!
|
| File:Radioactive Man Icon.png
|
We need to locate the source and destroy it!
|
| File:Radioactive Man Icon.png
|
Up and atom, Fallout Boy!
|
|
|
Boy, I'm about to "fall out" of this story. What's going on?
|
|
|
The beauty of comic books is that you don't waste time explaining. That makes the confusing ending more satisfying!
|
Task: Make Fallout Boy Destroy the Mind Control Ray (6s, Brown House)
Task: Make Sure NOTHING Bad Happens! (6s, Brown House)
On job (first) start:
|
| File:Fallout Boy Icon.png

|
Wait, Fallout Boy! NO!
|
Radioactive Man flies from the Superior Squad HQ to the Brown House:
Video Starts
After tapping on the thumbs-down icon:
|
| File:Fallout Boy Icon.png
|
Radioactive Man is dead and it's all because of my dumb button-thumping finger.
|
|
|
Huh?... Whah?... A pie in my hand?! All in all, not the worst way to wake up from a black out.
|
| File:Fallout Boy Icon.png
|
... and to add insult to terminal injury we didn't even cure this poor man of his pie obsession.
|
|
|
Umm... no... he's back to normal... *nervous laugh*

What does a sidekick do when the hero he kicked sides for is dead?
|
| File:Tapped Out Criminal Icon.png
|
Radioactive Man is dead?! Criminals, crooks, and punks of all sizes the town is ours for the taking!
|
|
Won't someone please think of the children?!
|
|
|
Umm, Fallout Boy? I think that's your cue to be all heroic and stuff.
|
| File:Fallout Boy Icon.png
|
But I can't. Behind this mask is just a scared 32 year-old boy.
|
| System Message
|
Crime is running rampant! With Radioactive Man dead and Fallout Boy turned yellow, who will save Springfield?!
|
| System Message
|
This looks like a job for... um... um...
|
|
|
How bout The Sky Finger, lame-wad?
|
|
|
The Sky Finger! Of course! The nose-picking pointer of hope and justice!
|

|
| File:Tapped Out Criminal Icon.png

The boss ain't going to like this. He needs those carbon rods for his master plan!
|
The "Issue 1" prize screen appears.
After clicking the back arrow:
Quest reward: 100 and 10

|
A New Hero Rises Pt. 2
A New Hero Rises Pt. 3
| After tapping on Fallout Boy's exclamation mark:
|
| File:Fallout Boy Icon.png
|
A good sidekick can become a great sidekick with an arsenal of snappy catchphrases.
|
| File:Fallout Boy Icon.png
|
By combining witty wordplay with my agile athleticism I'll be in tip-top fighting form alongside Sky Finger!
|
| System Message

Elsewhere..
|
| File:Tapped Out Dr. Crab Black Icon.png
|
Hmm. It seems my little "accident" has one more survivor than I'd anticipated.
|
| File:Tapped Out Dr. Crab Black Icon.png
|
No matter. This half-pint hiccup won't interrupt my evil.

Superior-ior Squad HQ Pt. 1

After tapping:
|
| File:Fallout Boy Icon.png
|
Almighty Ore! That’s Arbitrarium.
|
|
|
Gloyven-moyven! Did you say Arbitrarium?! That's the rarest element known to nerd or man!
|
| File:Fallout Boy Icon.png
|
Rare elements always produce crazy reactions! Let's use it to upgrade our HQ and "thwack" crime even more!
|
Task: Upgrade Your Superior Squad HQ
The quest "Unlock Burns State Prison" - which is to "Unlock Burns State Prison" appears in the taskbook.
After "Upgrading" the Superior Squad HQ to Level 1:
|
| File:Fallout Boy Icon.png
|
The Sky Finger needs a superhero name and I think I've got just the ticket!
|
| File:Fallout Boy Icon.png
|
Flaming Finger! Oops, no flame. Digit of Death! That’s sorta grim. Wait, I've got it... The Hand of Justice!
|

Montgomery Burns State Prison
Montgomery Burns State Prison Pt. 1
300px
After tapping:
|
|
Mayor Quimby, I understand you're suffering a crime wave. Perhaps I could offer up a new incarcer-arium...
|
|
But we already have a prison in Springfield.
|
|
|
Not an architectural wonder like the Frank Gehry Springfield Music Center!
|
|
|
All I did was remove orchestra seating to make it the most wretched hellhole on Earth!
|
|
|
Out with the old prison, in with the new!
|
| Task: Place Burns State Prison
|
|
|
Burns, your prison released a dangerous felon back onto the streets of our fair city!
|
|
|
He served two hours for three stabbings. That's 40 minutes per plunge. I can't ask more of a man.
|
|
|
He was given a life sentence!
|
|
|
The deal was that I only incarcerate felons, not namby-pamby them for life!
|
|
|
And when this brute is captured again, I look forward to collecting yet another incarceration fee!
|
|
|
I adore the revolving door prison system!
|
|
|
Burns, I hate that you came up with this idea and I didn't!
|
|
Montgomery Burns State Prison Pt. 2
| After completing Pt. 1:
|

|
Holy Hangman's noose! Someone needs to stop those felons!
|
| File:Pie Man Icon.png
|
There are too many targets for one hurling Pie Man to hit!
|
| File:Fallout Boy Icon.png
|
We're going to need every superhero, sub-superhero, slight and insignificant hero to help save Springfield!
|
| File:Pie Man Icon.png
|
Since Santa's Little Helper is sleeping on my couch, I'll help.
|
| System Message
|
You can now send characters to help wipe out crime and earn bonus rewards!
|
Task: Send a Super Hero to Attack a Felon
|
| File:Fallout Boy Icon.png
|
Felons are tougher than I thought. Radioactive Man always made it look so easy.
|
| System Message
|
Keep giving felons the "what-for." New Felons are released every day so make sure to keep fighting!
