Bartman

The Simpsons’ son Bart has a rich fantasy life, along with a propensity for getting into trouble. All that made him the perfect candidate to become “Bartman, Arch-enemy of Evil!” Of course, Bartman is really nothing more than Bart in a super-hero outfit—no super-powers to match. That doesn’t stop him from taking on all manner of evildoers, not the least of which are the school bullies who have taken jobs at the local comic book printing plant. These villains are running scams by stealing comics before they can be appropriately “cover-enhanced” (with silver foil or whatnot), then selling them through local comic stores as “error copies.” Who can stand up for the rights of comic collectors when such villains strike?

That’s right: Bartman!
