History
When Bart and Lisa attended a 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. 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.
He and Houseboy later teamed up with Shelbyville's Fighting Owl and Four Eyes to defeat Squirrel Girl.

Bartman Begins
After leaving the Gotham City Opera House, Bart's parents are killed by someone with a snake tattoo in a dark alley. Bart's Father pleads to be avenged. Bart does as his father says and swears revenge on the man, giving birth to his superhero form, Bartman, with the help of his Grandfather, as he was once a "superhero". He flies around Gotham City, defeating villains on his way for justice. When Serpent (similar to Snake) attempts to steal the "Stealable Jewels of the Orient" from the Gotham Natural History Museum, Bartman arrives, saves the Jewels, and kills Serpent by impaling him on the fangs of a snake statue. In the end, a reporter (resembling Lisa), reminds Bartman that the Serpent's death will not revive his parents. Bartman agrees, but adds that he now feels better, plus, he's got zillions of dollars and no parents to tell him what to do.
