Character Information

Bartholomew JoJo[3] "Bart" Simpson (born April 1[3] or February 23[4]), A.K.A. El Barto and Bartman, is the mischievous, rebellious, misunderstood, and "potentially dangerous" eldest child of Homer and Marge Simpson, and the brother of Lisa and Maggie Simpson.
Contents
Biography
Bart's a self-proclaimed underachiever constantly in detention. He's easily distracted (even, strangely enough, by algebraic equations). His penchant for shocking people began before he was born: Bart "mooned" Dr. Hibbert while he performed a sonogram on Marge, and moments after being born, he set fire to Homer's tie.
Bart was an unplanned pregnancy and unwanted by his father (which Homer tells him all the time)[5] after Homer and Marge, who forgot her bill-control pill,[6] drunkenly got together in public inside the mini-golf castle at Sir Putt-A-Lot's Merrie Olde Fun Centre forcing his parents into a rushed wedding although Homer left soon after to sort out his life and get a good job and by coincidence got hired personally by Mr. Burns at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant earlier on the same day Bart was born at Springfield General Hospital which is why Homer believed he was born in 5 minutes while it actually toke 53 hours.[7] He was named after the BART train.[8] Baby photos of Bart have him sucking on a pacifier like his youngest sister Maggie.[9] His has an extremely rare blood type, Double O Negative (OO-), shared with Mr. Burns so donated some to save his life and eventually lead to Mr. Burns gifted the family an enormous Olmec head now in their basement.[10]
Bart's interests include Krusty the Clown (he is "Krusty Buddy" number 16302), skateboarding, reading comic books (especially Radioactive Man), watching television (especially the Krusty the Clown Show and The Itchy & Scratchy Show), terrorizing Lisa, playing video games, helping Lisa solve various problems (e.g. reuniting Krusty with his estranged Father), and pulling off various pranks (like mooning unsuspecting people and prank calling Moe at his tavern).
Bart also sprays graffiti under the alias 'El Barto', and regularly frequents the Kwik-E-Mart (for bubblegum and Squishees) and The Android's Dungeon. Bart hinted his favorite movies are Jaws and the Star Wars trilogy.[13] His best friend's Milhouse Van Houten.
Bart's a polyglot and can speak several languages with varying degrees of fluency. Though he hasn't demonstrated the ability since his trip to France as an exchange student, he speaks near-perfect French.[14] He also learned Spanish in a matter of hours in preparation for the family's trip to Brazil.[15] Upon learning Brazilians speak Portuguese and not Spanish, Homer orders his son to forget what he learned, prompting Bart to strike himself over the head until he forgot the language. Bart also speaks Japanese (which he also learned in a couple of hours in prison along with Homer, and is also shown speaking Japanese,[16] Cantonese and Latin. His advanced linguistic skills may be inherited from Homer, who also speaks advanced languages, including penguin. He was also shown to be a skilled drummer.[17] He was a player in the Mighty Pigs Peewee Hockey League Team. He's also quite capable of firing advanced firearms with a frighteningly immense amount of accuracy, as evidenced when, while at Military School as a result of a prank involving bullhorns, he was given a RGB6 Grenade Launcher by the firing range instructor due to his belief Bart will have most likely known how to operate handguns, and managed to destroy four of five targets before one of his shots missed and ended up hitting Principal Skinner's car just as he was about to unlock it, and Bart implied he deliberately missed the fifth target and was actually aiming for Skinner's car that time.[18] He later displayed a similar proficiency towards weapons when he managed to hijack a tank by stealing the keys, drive it over to the park, and managed to shoot down a MLB satellite with surprising accuracy all by himself. Although at that point, he was also under the effects of an experimental drug supposed to suppress his Attention Deficit Disorder.[19]
Bart can also drive vehicles with surprising skill for his age. He has his own driving license, given to him after saving Springfield from a fire.[20] Although he was seen driving before with a fake license at times.[21] He still possesses it, using it to steal Principal Skinner's car to get to Jimbo's house.[22]
He's the most misunderstood of the family, constantly frustrated by the narrow-minded people of Springfield, who judge him merely by his thoughts and actions.
Bart's also a skilled chef. He cooked a three course meal for his parents and made a dessert.[23]
When he was made Hall Monitor, he also had a great degree of skill in enforcing the law and rules.[24] This trait was later exemplified when he, in a similar fashion to a bouncer, removed Homer Simpson from the premises of the La Maison Derrière after he continuously heckled Marge's ventriloquist performance.[25]
Behavior
- "I can't believe that it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows"
- ―Bart
Bart's considerably motivated in disrupting the routine at Springfield Elementary, and his pranks are often elaborately complex, but can lead to unfortunate consequences. Despite his behaviour, his actions and speech frequently show considerable mental agility, street-smarts, and understanding. When Bart became a hall monitor for Springfield Elementary, his grades went up, showing he only struggles because he doesn't pay any attention.[24] Bart suffers from Attention Deficit Disorder[19] On the other hand, Bart often seems to have trouble understanding even the simplest concepts, like the word "irony", what the equator is and the logo on his globe ("Rand McNally") isn't actually a country. It was also once implied his mischievous behavior may have been a result of Marge accidentally ingesting a droplet of champagne while pregnant with him.[26]
Labeled as an "underachiever" by authority figures, Bart rides an academic rollercoaster, his grades, running the Loop-the-Loop from "F" to "D-" and back again. But he can be ingenious when the chips are down—long as his ingenuity's not applied to anything school-related. He once learned portions of the Talmud to help reunite his idol, Krusty the Clown, with his father, Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky. Once, after an incident where Bart unleashed a surf wave across the school damaging property (and also saving Ned Flanders, on fire at the time), he was given an experimental drug for Attention Deficit Disorder called Focusyn, causing his intellectual potential to reach its maximum, to the extent he was even capable of tutoring a Navajo boy. Unfortunately, the drug also shortly thereafter drove him paranoid as a side effect, where he started sensing Major League Baseball's actually spying on them with a satellite, ended up going beserk when the prospect of being taken off Focusyn became apparent, sneaking into Fort Fragg, stealing keys to one of its tanks, causing a wake of destruction by driving in the process, and later used its cannon to blow away a MLB satellite, proving his suspicions correct.[19]
Although he gets into endless trouble and is sometimes shallow and selfish, Bart also exhibits many qualities of high integrity. He, on a few occasions, helped the love life of his school Principal and his teacher, despite the fact he often terrorizes them, and he often befriends outcasts like Milhouse. One example of his quasi sense of honor is when Bart stands up for Ralph Wiggum at the cost of peer popularity.[27] He was once sent to a juvenile detention center when he played a serious prank involving faux wedding gifts and a fake wedding.[28] He also has legitimate guilt, whenever he gets either Krabappel or Principal Skinner fired, especially if it wasn't his intention to do so. Like in the former case where his plan on getting her laid back by spiking her drink backfired when she ended up getting herself fired,[29] and the latter case where his dog ended up in the ventilation shafts and got trapped along with Willie when he intended to use Santa's Little Helper for show and tell.[30]
Appearance
Bart has yellow/blond spiky hair, although it's actually naturally pale red (but it stays yellow when he's out in the sun). He wears an orange short-sleeved shirt, blue short pants, and blue-white shoes. In some of the earlier series, he's seen wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt. He sometimes wears his "lucky" red baseball cap and often carries around his skateboard or a slingshot. In the winter, he wears long pants with a jacket. On special events, Bart wears a dark blue suit with matching shorts or pants with a purple tie with his hair sometimes combed and parted in the middle.
Alter Egos & Aliases
Bart sprays graffiti around Springfield using the name "El Barto", and his superhero alter-ego's Bartman. He called himself Cupcake Kid[31] when Homer became Pieman. Bart's also known as "The Devil in Blue Shorts"[32] by the organizers of the Teacher of the Year Awards, but he was believed to be an urban legend.

Treehouse of Horror
Bart learns he was born a Siamese twin and his secret brother, Hugo, was driven crazy after they were separated as newborns and Hugo grew up alone chained up in the attic.[33]
Future
As with other characters, his future follows no defined and logical pattern and simply changes to suit the episode. At the age of 18, Bart's a senior at Springfield High School. He styles his hair and wears an earring. He speaks three languages, apparently one being armpit noises, and one's hinted to be French. He pursues a relationship with a classmate named Jenda who denies his proposal because he doesn't have a steady career plan. As a result, Bart pursues a career at the Kwik-E-Mart: Whether he kept the job's not mentioned. After saving Mr. Burns from a robbery, he's awarded a scholarship to Yale, meant to go to Lisa. He gives the scholarship back to her so she doesn't have to suffer a bleak future with Milhouse.
At the age of 25, he's a building demolisher and vehicle crusher, and also attends law school. He's more kind in general, as opposed to his modern-day disposition. At the age of around 40, he's taken to the hospital after eating too many Fish Logs. He seems to have lost his building demolishing company and works at a construction site. He got the "Mother" tattoo Marge prevented him from getting, as well as a tattoo of Krusty the Clown on his chest. He receives a digestive tract transplant from Üter Zorker which saves his life.
At age 40, he's a poor guitarist and alcoholic who dropped out of the DeVry Institute. He lives in a ratty beach house alongside Ralph, the only other member of Bart's band. He's addicted to a form of drug, likely marijuana. He helps Lisa, President, get out of debt with other countries. In return, Lisa legalizes the use of cannabis.
