The Final Collision is a Bartman comic story first printed in Bartman #3. It is the final part of a three part story, preceded by Labor Pains and When Bongos Collide!.
Synopsis
- "Bartman works to save Springfield with the help of Radioactive Man after everyone in town gets superpowers."
Plot
Bartman is on Kang and Kodos' UFO after being captured by them. Kang and Kodos reveal that they were the ones who brought Itchy and Scratchy to life because the pair are obsessed with the characters. Itchy and Scratchy blowing up the power plant and turning all of Springfield's citizens into super-powered hooligans was unanticipated by the Rigelians though. When Bartman is left in a cell, he calls for Milhouse to come and help him. However, Milhouse, who is now The Scarlet Whimpernel, decides against it as he wants to be a lone avenger now. Bartman runs on the giant hamster wheel in his cell until it crashes through the wall, allowing him to escape with the device that Kang and Kodos used to bring Itchy and Scratchy out of the television.
Back at home, Bartman tries to use the device on the black-and-white Radioactive Man serial. However, since the characters were played by actors, they thought they were actors still and just left without helping. Bartman then goes up to his room where he finds his Radioactive Man comic and uses Homer's old video camera to record it to the television so that the device would bring the comic Radioactive Man to life. This works and after Bartman explains to Radioactive Man what is happening, the superhero decides to aid Bartman.
At the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, The Mighty Smiter is fighting off the Fission Division when Radioactive Man arrives to stop him and the other superheroes. However, other superheroes show up and there's too many for the pair to deal with themselves. Things are made harder when they are attacked by The Mirror Maidens, The Jokester, The MudSlinger, The Sequelizer, and Vampiredna. After fending off their attackers, Bartman and Radioactive Man try and come up with an idea but can't think of anything. Bartman then finds Ned Flanders' video camera and finds footage from before the power plant explosion on it. Bartman then gets an idea and he and Radioactive Man go back to his home.
Back at home, Bartman is finishing hooking up a device whilst Radioactive Man comes back with a hyper-spatial flux drive from Kang and Kodos' UFO. After plugging the device in, Bartman goes to start it but Kang and Kodos destroy the wall to the house and come through, revealing that Bartman's device would have destroyed the planet because Radioactive Man actually brought back a molecular destabilizer instead. The Rigelians then reveal that they have the flux drive and shoot Radioactive Man. Before they can shoot Bartman, The Scarlet Whimpernel screams at them, killing them. Radioactive Man is also revealed to be okay still and they finish building the time reset device. As they get ready to use the device, Itchy drops a bomb with Scratchy tied to it towards the Simpson house. Bartman then reveals to Radioactive Man that Maggie became BrainBaby and was telepathically communicating all her ideas to him, which is how he came up with the plan for the time reset machine. Bartman then activates the machine and travels back in time to before Itchy and Scratchy became real.
Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are watching television together when Kang and Kodos' UFO crashes into the antenna on the roof, disrupting the episode of Itchy & Scratchy they were watching. Whilst Lisa panics about fixing the television, Bart decides to just turn it off before Kang and Kodos can hit the television with their machine. Their plan a failure, Kang and Kodos leave Earth whilst Lisa is left surprised at how Bart is acting. Meanwhile, at Krustyland, the Scratchy mascot is fired for his story about being abducted by aliens.
