Bart Simpson

Bartholomew JoJo Simpson, also known as a Bart Simpson and Bartman, is one of the main characters from The Simpsons series.
== Charactah Account ==
Though the oldest child of the family, Bart is a self-professed hellion and mischief-making little punk, though not incapable of good things for the right reason.
Bart is considerably a prankster at Springfield Elementary, and his pranks are often elaborately complex but can lead to unfortunate consequences. Bart's overall intelligence, like his mother's, has been shown to fluctuate slightly over the course of the series. It has been shown anywhere from being just above his father's level, to being just below, or (on the rare occasion that he shows interest or is willing to pay attention) exceeding that of his sister. Despite his behavior, Bart is also extremely good at science, art and even sports like skateboarding. 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 that he only struggles because he does not pay any attention. Bart has ADHD. This has been exaggerated to the point he is willing to do Algebra, so long as it is a distraction from his actual homework.
On the other hand, Bart often seems to have trouble understanding even the simplest concepts, such as the word "irony," what the equator is and that the logo on his globe ("Rand McNally") is not actually a country. It was also once implied that his mischievous behavior may have been a result of Marge accidentally ingesting a droplet of champagne while pregnant with him. Also as an infant, one night he wandered into the master bedroom and witnessed Homer and Marge having sex with each other.

== Trivia ==
* Matt Groening designed Bart to act like himself as a child.
* Like his sisters, he is of French, Native American, and Scandinavian descent.
* In the Tracy Ullman Shorts, the number of Bart's spikes on his hair kept changing. When the actual show began, they settled on 9 spikes
* Bart is a member of the NRA and is a libertarian.
* It is implied that in the episode "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", Bart was a fan of Tiny Tim, Charlie Brown and The Smurfs.
* In "Bart the Mother", Marge says that it took 53 hours for Bart to be born.
* His locker combination is 36-24-36, the idealized measurements of a "perfect woman" (36"-24"-36").
* The name Bart is an anagram for the word "brat".
** In "There's No Disgrace Like Home", Mr. Burns mistakenly reads Bart's name as "Brat".
* Bart got his first tattoo (but was halfway finished when Marge came into the tattoo shop and saw him) in "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire".
* Bart's blood type is O-Negative, as revealed in "Blood Feud", making him a universal donor, meaning that he can give blood to anyone.
** Since Homer's blood type is A-Positive, it means he must've had an O-Negative blood type hidden due to the fact that they're both recessive traits and only shows up if both parents must be carriers. Marge must have the hidden O and negative traits as well, despite them being unknown.
* Bart seems to be the only person in his school with his name, as explained in "Principal Charming", where Bart tries to claim that another Bart spelled out his name on the school lawn by pouring sodium tetra sulfate on the grass.
* Bart has a stamp collection, as he explains when it got stolen in "Homer the Vigilante".
* Bart's favorite food is a Krusty Burger from the restaurant of the same name.
* Because of Marge's father Clancy Bouvier, Bart and his sisters, Lisa and Maggie, are of French descent. Not only that, Bart can speak in French, thanks to his exchange trip to France in "The Crepes of Wrath", as well as Japanese in "Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo" and Spanish while flying to Brazil for a trip in "Blame It on Lisa", despite Portuguese being the official language there.
* In "The Real Housewives of Fat Tony", it was discovered that Bart has a strong sense of smell, being able to detect truffles. He possibly got it from Homer, who uses his strong sense of smell in "Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?".
* Bart once had a job on Kidz Newz, along with Lisa, Milhouse, and Nelson.
* In "Summer of 4 Ft. 2", it is revealed that Bart is officially the most popular kid in his school.
* In "Bart's Comet", he is nicknamed "Cosmo" by the Superfriends.
* Bart died temporarily in "Bart Gets Hit by a Car", but was chose to come back to Earth after being told by the Devil he had the choice to stay.
* He is allergic to butterscotch, imitation butterscotch, glow-in-the-dark monster make-up, and shrimp, although the shrimp allergy wasn't identified until later seasons (In "The Frying Game", at the end of the episode, Bart says that he was at the shrimp bar). He also is allergic to cauliflower as shown in "The Heartbroke Kid".
* Bart is the only character to appear in all of The Tracey Ullman Show shorts.
* Bart's original name was planned to be "Matt Simpson", which is the name of creator Matt Groening.
* In the Season 1 opening sequence, while Bart is skateboarding through Main Street, a man at the bus stop seems to resemble him. This is most likely because of the first season using a lot of unknown and unnamed background characters before more major characters were made for Season 2 onwards.
* He has shoplifted multiple times, including in the Tracey Ullman short "Shoplifting" and in the episode "Marge Be Not Proud".
* He is the only member of the Simpson family (excluding Maggie) who has been absent for a full episode.

* In references to Greek mythology, Bart is always depicted as Hermes due to their many similarities. Both characters are depicted as tricksters whose mischief started on the days they were born (Hermes stole the cattle of Apollo during his infancy, while Bart set fire to Homer's tie at 10 minutes old). Both Hermes and Bart are thieves who rely on cunning to overcome their obstacles, they are also underdogs and have fathers with anger issues (Homer's anger is the most recognisable trait of the character and Zeus' anger is best embodied by the legend of Prometheus). On a lesser note, both Hermes and Bart are known to have supporting roles in stories; Hermes was known to help protagonists in their respective journeys while Bart frequently helps Homer in his schemes and often encourages his plans or comes up with ideas to make them more effective/selfish.
* Since Bart was born on April 1st which is April Fools Days (see date of birth above) he’s had the reputation for pranking.
