“Bad” Bart Barrett has the most powerful tool known to man: infinite money. Though his real estate empire took a hit post-World War I, he quickly bounced back with the country’s biggest juice-running empire at the height of Prohibition.
Because his new criminal empire was in direct violation of the 18th Amendment, Barrett found himself fighting the Freedom Society more often than not, coming toe-to-toe with Icky, Miss Astounding, Hypknot, Doc Decker, and others quite frequently, especially throughout the period from 1920 to 1933.
History + Origin
Son of Bartleby and Charlotte Barrett, Bart Jr. hasn’t had to work a single day in his life. Years before he was born, Bart’s parents became two of the most notorious slumlords in all of New York City.
Responsible for orchestrating a hostile takeover of the city’s largest real estate empire, the Barretts are bad people, with a capital B. And, as they say, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Bart Jr. muscled his way into anything he’s ever wanted, and as one might expect from such a lousy clan, the Barretts don’t even care about each other – only themselves.
That’s why it should be no surprise Bart Jr. ended up forcibly removing his parents from the leadership of their own business empire in his mid-30s, turning himself into New York’s most terrifying businessman.
As his bank account started to dwindle after the days of World War I, Bart quickly pivoted his business activities to the world of alcohol distribution, creating the largest crime syndicate the country has ever seen.
Though it’s just peanuts compared to his criminal empire, Bad Bart also owns the widely popular Barrett & Sons Traveling Circus.
