Episodes No. Title Directed by Written by Original release date `` Pilot '' Wally Pfister Ben Edlund August 18, 2016 ( 2016 - 08 - 18 ) In a world where superheroes and supervillains are real, unassuming office temp Arthur is traumatized by the supervillain The Terror, having watched his actions lead to the death of his father when he was a young boy. While authorities believe The Terror has died, Arthur tracks evidence of a conspiracy theory that he is still alive. He tracks The Terror to crime boss Ramses IV and the Pyramid Gang, and witnesses Miss Lint, a villain with electrical powers, and Ramses 's henchmen obtain a strange package. While spying on them, Arthur is discovered by the Tick, who takes a keen interest in his sense for justice, but events led to Arthur being arrested. His sister Dot comes to free him, asking him to take his medication and stop tracking this conspiracy theory. The next morning, Arthur finds the Tick in his bed, having stolen the package ( destroying the facility in process ), and wanting Arthur to wear the suit inside it. Arthur orders the Tick to leave, and then tries on the suit for himself, just as he is attacked by Miss Lint and the henchmen. `` Where 's My Mind '' Wally Pfister Ben Edlund August 25, 2017 ( 2017 - 08 - 25 ) The Tick arrives, throws Arthur out his window to save him, and easily defeats Miss Lint 's gang, in the process causing Miss Lint to lose her grounding. Arthur flees and tries to hide but is later found by the Tick. Arthur starts to wonder if the Tick is just a figment of his imagination, but Dot then shows up, as Arthur had not returned her calls, and assures Arthur she can see the Tick, whom she had heard about when stitching up some of Ramses men caught in the explosion caused by the Tick. She warns Arthur to stay away from the Tick, and that he has work the next day. Miss Lint reports her failure to regain the suit to Ramses, who threatens her to recover the suit or be killed. That night, Arthur, still wearing the suit, finds himself trailed by a number of Ramses henchmen, just as Overkill arrives and brutally murders them all. `` Secret / Identity '' Romeo Tirone David Fury August 25, 2017 ( 2017 - 08 - 25 ) Overkill threatens Arthur, as he also wants the suit, but the cops arrive and he runs off, leaving Arthur alone. Arthur feigns being a superhero to clear himself of the crime, and returns to his apartment just as Miss Lint arrives. She knocks him out and takes the suit, but also sees one of Arthur 's newspaper clippings related to The Terror and takes it too. Arthur wakes up and is nearly late for work, unaware that Overkill is tracking him. When the Tick tries to tell him to skip his job, Arthur learns the Tick only has memories since a few days ago. He convinces the Tick to seek out the identity of Overkill as he works. While at his job, Arthur is attacked by Overkill but the Tick comes to his rescue. The two fight, and Overkill kicks the Tick out the window. `` Party Crashers '' Sheree Folkson Joe Piarulli and Luan Thomas August 25, 2017 ( 2017 - 08 - 25 ) The Tick crashes to the ground but is unharmed. Overkill learns Arthur no longer has the super suit, but takes his file on The Terror, impressed with the quality of Arthur 's research. Dot reminds Arthur that today is his step - father 's birthday party, and he reluctantly attends. The Tick crashes the party, just as Miss Lint also arrives, demanding that Arthur don the super suit so she can determine its abilities. 5 `` Fear of Flying '' Lev L. Spiro Susan Hurwitz Arneson August 25, 2017 ( 2017 - 08 - 25 ) Arthur puts on the suit, and its automatic controls cause him to start flying uncontrollable across the city. Arthur manages to call Dot and has her and the Tick help him as he finds a way to gain control of the suit and lands. Just as the Tick and Dot arrive, Overkill also appears, demanding Arthur turn over the suit, but the Tick steps in to defend him. Just them, Ramses and the Pyramid gang appear, and a firefight break out, but between the Tick and Overkill, they are readily defeated, and Overkill takes an unconscious Ramses into his possession. Arthur, Dot, the Tick, and Overkill agree to work together to discover the secret behind the suit, and learn that it was created to fight an alien, specifically Superian, the first superhero. When they learn Ramses wants it, they deduce that Arthur was actually correct, that Ramses is working for a very - much alive The Terror. 6 `` Rising '' Romeo Tirone Jose Molina August 25, 2017 ( 2017 - 08 - 25 ) While Overkill wants to kill Ramses, Arthur insists they drop him off at Aegis, the agency that oversees superheroes and supervillains, but find the office had been closed years prior. He and the Tick are attacked by the Pyramid Gang to rescue Ramses, and while they are uninjured, their attack sends a bus over the edge of a bridge. The Tick and Arthur successfully rescue all the passengers in front of numerous eyewitnesses, making them heroes to the city. Miss Lint returns home to discover The Terror there. The Terror explains how he needed to fake his death as to encourage Miss Lint to take her own actions. Inspired by his words, she goes and kills Ramses IV. That evening, as the Tick and Arthur celebrate their new celebrity, Arthur is kidnapped by unknown agents.
