## History

A graduate student in Russian studies, the man known as Stalingrad became a supervillain inspired by the works of Joseph Stalin.

He was recruited into The Terror's supervillain team (because the Terror believed him to be Joseph Stalin, who had been the Terror's friend), but when Handy proposed a vote for leader, Stalingrad cast his vote for himself, angering the Terror. He helped to hijack City City Hall, but when Arthur, American Maid and Tick came to rescue Mayor Blank, he professed his love to Tunn-La, a female alien member of the Terror's evil team (though it is possible that his sudden confession could have been an attempt to escape, rather than a sincere profession of love). She then flew away with him and their fate is unknown.

On one glass robbery, an few disguised ant-people encountered the Tick, an encounter which inflicted considerable trauma upon him. Their attempted frying of The City was ultimately stopped in the act by Tick, along with Arthur, American Maid, Die Fledermaus, Sewer Urchin and Fishboy.

Professor Peelie

Peelie (left) with Brian Pinhead

**Professor Peelie** is a character on the animated television series *The Tick.* He is an inventor with the body of a zebra.

## History

Professor Peelie had attempted to perfect a mind-transference device, similar to the one later developed by J.J. Vatos. While experimenting, Peelie switched his mind with that of a zebra. Peelie then lost track of his human body, which returned to the wild and lived as a zebra. Peelie continued his life as a talking zebra.

Peelie attended the Mad Scientist's Fair, where he was interviewed by Brian Pinhead about his past an present projects. Peelie was one of several entities caught up in a malfunction of Vatos' machine, and he found his mind inhabiting the body of Regina Hume, while his zebra body contained The Tick's mind.

Peelie's mind was later placed in a the body of a disposable Can O Man. He preferred to have his mind returned to the zebra rather than remain in the Can O Man which was fated to dissolve after a short time.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Intellect**: He is a brilliant inventor.

## Appearances

* Season 3
	+ 08 Tick vs. Science

## Notes

* As a zebra, Peelie continued his work as a scientist, but he focused his attention on projects that would reduce the risk of his being eaten by lions.
* A cutaway showed Professor Peelie's human body living among zebras, presumably in Africa. This might tend to indicate that Peelie had been conducting his research in Africa.
* Peelie's human body has a large nose, wide eyes, and unkempt hair. His clothes were ragged, but his face was clean-shaven somehow.

— **The Tick**[src]

The **Steel Box** is an object on the animated television series *The Tick.*

## History

It was crafted in 1974, apparently the deadliest thing the year had seen created. The Tick managed to procure it, for use as a demonstration of his nigh-invulnerability. He brought it to the National Super Institute's tryouts, in which one superhero at a time would demonstrate their superheroic traits, and a panel of judges would decide what American city that hero would protect. For the Tick's demonstration, he simply sat in the box, and pulled the lever to activate it. It first ht him in the forehead with a tiny hammer, then, it lowered a warhead onto his head, blowing up the entire building, with Tick only dazed. Because of this, Tick received The City, "and the rest is history."

He was chosen by the Mother of Invention to retrieve the escaped Leonardo da Vinci (long story; Read more here), but was thwarted by the Tick. After the Mother of Invention's defeat, he was returned to his time period.

At some later date, they encountered each other during Proto-Clown's rampage through The City, and all helped American Maid keep Bud Frontier, the clown's creator, safe, and try to resolve the situation. (A solution came in the form of Tick falling back to Earth and landing on Proto-Clown.) They also attended a Christmas party at Arthur's apartment, and later on tried to stop a superpowered (and super-angry) Arthur.

He took issue with the Terror's position as leader of the team, and proposed a vote. He received the most votes at three (his own, Human Ton's, and the Man-Eating Cow's), and was proclaimed leader. The team only carried out one mission, when they held Mayor Blank hostage at City City Hall. Tick, Arthur and American Maid arrived to stop them, and Handy and Human Ton fought Tick. They had the upper hand, when Arthur ripped Handy off of Human Ton's hand, and stomped on him repeatedly. Human Ton fainted, and they were put away.

## Personality

Handy is extremely loud and obnoxious, and almost constantly yells. He is a bad team player, and verbally abuses Human Ton, and the other members of the team. He also often asserts his intellectual superiority, and his knowledge. He seems to feel superior to most others, and think very little of his contemporaries.

Spoon!

Tick coming up with his immortal catchphrase

**Spoon** is the Tick's catchphrase on the animated television series *The Tick.*

## History

The phrase originated when Tick and Arthur were eating Drama Flakes whilst watching the morning news. From this, they learned that the Terror had returned from "retirement", and was coming to The City. In preparation, Tick declared the need for a battle cry to replace "Not in the face! Not in the face!" Drawing inspiration from his cereal consumption utensil, he uttered a word that would echo throughout the cosmos for eons: spoon! This word, which he would use to strike fear into the Terror's heart when the finally met, would become his slogan in the infomercial of superheroism.

He goes on to use it when saving Arthur and Carmelita from the Swiss Industrial Spies, who'd disrupted their date at the Bistro D'Burden.

## Cultural Impact

The phrase is one of the most remembered moments from the series. A clip, uploaded to YouTube on June 23 2006, of the scene in which Tick has his epiphany and creates the phrase, simply titled "Spoon!", has over 800,000 views. Though the phrase existed in the comics, it could certainly be argued that it has become a part of the cultural lexicon in large part due to the series, considering the generally broader reach of television compared to comic books in the late 20th century.

That Mustache Feeling

**"That Mustache Feeling"** is an episode of the animated television series *The Tick (animated series).*

## Synopsis

The Tick discovers a keen mustache has appeared on his face. However, the mustache is not all that it seems, and a group of agents is on the hunt for it.

## Plot

In 1974, two researchers in Argentina make a scientific breakthrough. It alters the face of one of them.

In the modern day, The Tick awakens to find that he has grown a black mustache overnight. He is pleased with this development. Arthur is surprised, and is also surprised later when his sister Dot announces that she has gotten engaged to Dinosaur Neil.

Later, The Tick attempts to trim his mustache, and it moves around on his face to avoid the razor. The sentient mustache assaults The Tick and later tries to communicate with him via a typewritten letter. The Tick does not understand the letter (as it is written in Spanish), and is also confused by a personal ad that the mustache had cut out of the newspaper.

The Tick and Arthur attend Dot and Neil's engagement party, along with some other heroes. The party is crashed by SHAVE, a supposed government agency charged with obtaining the mustache. The mustache leaves The Tick's face and attaches itself to Sewer Urchin. The mustache swings away.

Proto-Clown

*Bud laugh! Bud's friends laugh! Clown SMASH! Then CLOWN laugh! Huahahaha!*

**Proto-Clown** is a character on the animated television series *The Tick.*

## History

Proto-Clown was created by Bud Frontier in an attempt to create an army of super-clowns: clowns that would be bigger, and thusly funnier. Proto-Clown was the only surviving subject of his experiment, and he grew to be taller than a bus, and incredibly strong. But Proto-Clown had one enormous flaw: he hated being laughed at. So he went on a rampage, and wreaked havoc on The City. He fought Tick, and hit him into space with a bus, and he chased a group of superheroes, along with Bud, to a hideaway, where he eventually found them. He cornered them in the garage, and Bud gave himself up, if he would only say why he was so angry. After Bud discovered the truth, they made up, but his nose was honked on Bud's shoulder when they hugged, making them all laugh. Proto-Clown turned on them, but he was stopped by Tick, who crashed down to earth, more specifically right on top of Proto-Clown. Bud took Proto-Clown back to his lab, and what happened to him after that is unknown.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Super-Strength**: he was powerful enough to lift a bus with ease and use it to bat Tick into space.

He was caught by Tick, and locked away in prison. He later came along when Chairface Chippendale brought together the Breadmaster and El Seed to ruin Dot and Neil's wedding.

Human Bullet

*Fire me, boy!*
— **Human Bullet's catchphrase**

**Human Bullet** (also known as **Mitch**) is a character on the animated television series *The Tick*.

## History

He has a history of ineffective attempts at heroism that often end the same way: a headache. He has been fired from his cannon twice in the series: in The Tick vs. The Idea Men and in The Tick vs. Dinosaur Neil. In his first attempt he only hit the City Dam and fell into the water, but in his second attempt he hit Dinosaur Neil in the stomach and caused him to regurgitate both Tick and the giant aspirin he was trying to feed Neil (long story). He later lent his cannon out to Tick when he needed it to stop the Breadmaster's giant, self-baking soufflé.

While he is a father and husband, he often has to abandon his duties as family man to launch into action. Although his son does fire him from his cannon, hence the quote "fire me, boy!". He also makes a cameo in the video game, crashing into the rooftop of a building that Tick is fighting on top of.

## Paraphernalia

* **Helmet**: he wears a bullet-shaped helmet to protect his head from the impact of his cannon.
* **Cannon**: He has a giant cannon which he fills with explosive charges and has his son fire him out of.

Pineapple Pokopo

*I am not a smart man, I am not an honest man, I am not a clean man, I am not a rational man, BUT, I am a very BIG man. You are a very smart monkey, BUT, you are a very, very small monkey. Big man, small monkey. GET IT!?*

**Pineapple Pokopo** is a character on the animated television series *The Tick.*

## History

Pokopo somehow got wind of the arrival of Yank, a super-intelligent monkey who crash-landed in Pokoponesian waters from space. He forced him to create a super-weapon (which was really an escape pod). When three superheroes disguised as tourists came to look for Yank, Pokopo found himself smitten with Janine (who was really American Maid). He took her to his palace for dinner, but tried to kill her once he found out she was a superhero. Luckily, she was saved by the Tick, and they escaped Pokoponesia with Yank and Arthur, who was also undercover.

Pokopo was invited to an auction of the Tick, and was one of the biggest bidders. When Die Fledermaus tried to steal Tick, he was right in the fray. But once Tick arrived and got the upper hand, Pokopo quickly fled. Pokopo rules his nation with an iron first, and threatens and abuses those under him. He uses his size and strength to push people around, but also seems to have a delicate side. He is not very bright, a fact to which even he acknowledges.

## Powers and Abilities

### Abilities

* **Strength**: he is incredibly strong, enough so to lift a huge man up in the air with little effort.
* **Intimidation**: he uses his massive size to scare others into obeying him.

Project SHAVE was able to locate the mustache after it had attached itself to The Tick. They crashed Dot and Neil's engagement party, but were unable to capture the mustache. The Tick and Arthur then joined Project SHAVE in chasing the mustache to Dewey Bridge. En route, Kitty was able to read the letter that the mustache has written to The Tick in Spanish. The letter revealed that Project SHAVE had lost its funding in 1986, and that Jim Rage was keeping the three agents working with him under false pretenses.

When the mustache joined with the Russian Beard, Project: SHAVE apparently disbanded and the agents went their separate ways.
