* MistakenForSuperpowered: In "Faith Off", Bart becomes convinced that he has HealingHands after removing a bucket that had been glued to Homer's head. Despite Lisa's protests that this was a simple result of the glue expiring, the boy sets up a church and promotes himself as a faith healer. One of his actions is to "cure" his best friend's myopia, which leads to Milhouse throwing away his glasses, mistakenly walking in the path of a car and getting seriously injured as a result. This horrific incident immediately causes Bart to retire.
