Despite her age, Maggie is a brilliant shot, as seen in "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" where she shoots Mr. Burns for stealing her lollypop
Maggie is usually frightened and exasperated by Homer's attempts to bond with her, but has on several occasions stepped in to save Homer's life: once from drowning, once from being shot by mobsters,once from being kidnapped by a tow truck driver, and once from being shot by Russ Cargill, head of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Maggie Simpson has done a lot in her one year of life. She has performed a number of feats that suggest she is a baby genius; She has spelled out E=MC² with her baby blocks, driven Homer's car, escaped from the Springfield daycare centre, and written her name on an Etch-A-Sketch.
