The Tick Trivia Questions

1. Who played the titular character of "The Tick"?

From Quiz
"The Tick" - Pilot

3. The Tick often exclaims his words as if everything he says is important. This is almost more likely if its not important or even makes sense. Which battle cry is most associated with the Tick?

From Quiz "Hang Ten for Justice!": "The Tick" Cartoon

Answer: Spoon!

The Tick's primary superpower are "nigh invulnerability" and great physical strength with a secondary ability to leap long distances. In some ways he could be compared to a dumber version of the original (1938) Superman. his helps him to be considered a hero. It also encourages him to jump into almost any situation. His battle cry of "Spoon!" is first heard in the 13th and final episode of the first season ("The Tick vs. Arthur's Bank Account"). The Tick was voiced by Townsend Coleman. Arthur is his sidekick. He has a mothman suit that he can use to fly but no superpowers of his won. Though Arthur will work to assist the Tick and can act in a heroic manner from time to time, he is often more cautious and hesitant in his approach to fighting crime. His 'battle cry" is a less heroic, but perhaps more sensible: 'Not in the face!' Micky Dolenz voiced Arthur in Season One and Ron Paulsen voiced the character in Seasons Two and Three.

4. Famous for playing Rorschach in "Watchmen," who played the villain in the pilot?
