It's almost unfair to compare the heroes and villains on The Tick to others, as they are intentionally whacked. Die Fledermaus, Sewer Urchin, the Civic Minded Five...There are too many!

quote:I even remember that before the show, he played the part of "Pippin" in the musical of the same name, co-starring with Ben Vereen in a spectacular performance.
I actually have a copy of the William Katt/Ben Vereen cast's performance of Pippin on VHS. It's one of the few VHS tapes I own that I think I'll be keeping for a long time, as I sort of doubt it'll be out on DVD any time soon. Anyway, Ben Vereen was in the original cast of Pippin, but William Katt was not. Interestingly enough, the version that I have differs from the original script--in some places it's wildly different.

Though essentially brainless (despite occasional and unexpected lucidity), the Tick is an indestructable force of nature.
Definately not the worst. I mean, we could talk about The Spleen here, but that was intentional. I think that Captain Planet just may be the worst unintentionally lame superhero ever.
I was the lamest superhero ever. What other superhero get carried around in a bucket by a space monkey?
