Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who played the titular character of "The Tick"?

Answer: Peter Serafinowicz

This is the third time the character, created by Ben Edlund, has had a television series. An animated series ran three seasons from 1994-97 and a live-action series was on for several episodes in 2001.
2. Famous for playing Rorschach in "Watchmen," who played the villain in the pilot?

Answer: Jackie Earle Haley

The villain was known as The Terror. He made his comeback as an actor with the role in "Watchmen", and played a key role on the series "Preacher". Haley is also known for playing Freddy Krueger in the "Nightmare on Elm Street" reboot and as a child actor in the "Bad News Bears" film series.
3. What was the Tick's real name?

Answer: It wasn't revealed

Creator Ben Edlund has never revealed a real name for the character. Throughout the decades worth of comics, and the first two TV series, no name for the man when not in costume was released. This pilot kept with that trend.
4. What is the name of the Tick's sidekick?

Answer: Arthur

Arthur wears a costume that looks like a bunny. He didn't acquire the suit until near the end of the pilot. Both his sidekick and real names are Arthur. He is simple accountant with no super powers. He was played by Griffin Newman.
5. What brought on the "Dawn of the age of Superheroes"?

Answer: An alien ship landed on Earth.

The ship landed in the Tungusta River Basin in 1908 according to graphics on the screen. There were two men watching as it landed nearby and a superhero emerged from it.
6. What was the name of the first superhero the Earth ever knew?

Answer: Superian

After he landed on Earth, the next time Superian was shown he was being interviewed by Whoopi Goldberg on TV. He was played by Brendan Hines. Despite the decades between the landing and the modern day setting, Superian was still an active hero during the pilot.
7. Which character was arrested at a crime scene?

Answer: Arthur

Arthur, before meeting the Tick, was spying on a crime syndicate, to try to prove that The Terror was still running the city. He met the Tick while on that stakeout. After the situation escalated and the police arrived, Arthur was detained.
8. What is The Tick's main superpower?

Answer: Invulnerability

He wore a giant blue suit, and didn't appear to be the sharpest tool in the shed. He wanted to run full speed ahead with everything, no need to formulate a plan. He didn't need a plan most times, because he was invincible.
9. What was the name of the superhero team that Arthur watched get killed?

Answer: The Flag Five

The team crashed in the street on top of Arthur's father while he was putting money in a parking meter. The Terror landed his ship, and had his henchmen kill four of the members of the team, before stopping to intimidate a young Arthur Everest.

The team had been blinded by a virus The Terror had unleashed on them.
10. The Tick broke into Arthur's apartment, thinking it was a superhero headquarters.

Answer: True

Tick was laying in bed next to Arthur when his alarm went off at 6:30 a.m. the morning after them met. The Tick told him that he had the brains, and Tick had everything else.
