**The Idea Men blimp** is a vehicle on the animated television series *The Tick.*

## Biography

It is the only known form of transport (other than by foot) of the Idea Men. They use it for seemingly most capers, at very least all those seen. It was destroyed during their ransoming of the City Dam, when the Tick, who had their bomb used for the ransom stuck on his hands, ran to the top of the dam with it, and it exploded, consuming the blimp in flames. There may be multiple, as they later used it when attending Charles' auctioning of Tick. Although, they may have crafted a new one.

Blowhole

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

## History

Blowhole's first known surface journey was in the year 1985, when he rose from the Atlantic ocean and ran across America. During his run, he (likely inadvertently) swallowed J.J. Eureka Vatos. In 1995, he arose from the Atlantic once again to run across America. Coming through The City, a group of supports and a news crew were waiting for him. The reporter covering the story accidentally got tied to him with the microphone cord, although she continued to try to interview him. He also accidentally swallowed Tick, Arthur and Carmelita Vatos, who used an inanimate wooden boy to smoke themselves out. They escaped, and Blowhole continued to run off into the distance.

Mother of Invention

*Well, you all think you're pretty special, don't you? Inventing all those great advances in technology. Changing the course of human development with YOUR works. You arrogant jerks! Try inventing something THESE days, why don't you?! All the good stuff has been done already! I could have done movable type, Gutenberg! EASY! And Edison, the LIGHTBULB?! EASY! Carver, I invented peanut brittle when I was four, sp I had to get my stomach pumped. So what?! EASY! My plan is quite simple. You see, using this time machine, I've kidnapped you from your historical eras, and brought you to the end of the twentieth century. With this very same device, I will send a time bomb, which I could've invented myself, if I hadn't been thrown out of air conditioner repair school, back to the renaissance, and blow it to kingdom come! Thereby casting the world back to the dark ages! No phonograph! No printing press! No peanut butter!*

The **Mother of Invention** is a character on the animated television series *The Tick.*

## History

At the age of four, "Mom" somehow inadvertently made peanut brittle. The result of his discovery was having his stomach pumped. This event was prescient of his life later on, as he would go on to become incredibly jealous of famous inventors, claiming their discoveries were cheap and easy. At some point, he would be expelled from air conditioning repair school. He would also go on to either invent or somehow acquire a time machine, and use it to capture famous inventors in a convoluted plan to take credit for their inventions (which you can read about here). But, Leonardo da Vinci escaped and got Tick and Arthur, local superhero and sidekick duo, to help him free the others. They succeeded, and Mom was apprehended.

## Paraphernalia

* **Time Machine**: He was in possession of a time machine, in the form of a hat (perhaps a large bonnet). However, it was confiscated by Arthur after he was defeated.

Municipal Swimming Pool

The **Municipal Swimming Pool** is a location on the animated television series *The Tick.*

## History

It was used by the Breadmaster as the vessel for his giant, self-baking soufflé. Arthur determined that the pool was the only place he could bake something that large, so he and Tick arrived and stopped the Breadmaster, but the soufflé was already baking itself. Arthur, knowing that sound could make a soufflé deflate, went with Tick to Human Bullet to use his cannon to create a sonic boom, and save The City. They were successful, and the soufflé burst, raining pieces of pastry all over The City.

The building was used as a lair by the Breadmaster, where he created his bread weapons. It may have functioned as an actual bakery before Breadmaster took it over, but little is known about it. Breadmaster may still use it in later episodes, as he continues to make more fiendish bread monstrosities, but he likely could use any other location as long as it had the same appliances, which could theoretically be any other abandoned bakery.

*Come on, El Seed, don't be so down. You're good at this; we love you.*

**The Bee Twins** are characters on the animated television series *The Tick*.

## History

They were his assistants in is lab leading up to his first scheme, and motivated him to keep going after his initial failure, although they were captured by the Tick and Arthur. They continued to serve him in his hunt for the Hundred-Year Bloom, and were captured once again. They are seen with him when he schemed to ruin the wedding of Dot and Neil. They are completely indistinguishable from one another.

## Personality

The Bee Twins serve as El Seed's henchwomen and are loyal followers of his cause, but they don't follow him blindly. In addition to believing firmly in his cause, they also appear to be somewhat committed feminists, as they protest when referred to as "girls", preferring to be called "women".

Despite their level of dedication to the aforementioned causes, it is not known how highly they regard each other. They are presumably close, however, as they almost always speak in unison.

Crystal

**Crystal** is a character on the animated television series *The Tick (animated series).* She has red hair. She is a student of Liberal Arts and is skilled at demolitions, and use of a hair dryer.

## History

At some point in the past, Crystal had been recruited into Project SHAVE, which was tasked with apprehending a fugitive mustache. Under the leadership of Jim Rage, Crystal and her associates tracked the mustache throughout the western hemisphere in an RV. Rage was in love with Crystal, but he had never told her.

Project SHAVE was able to locate the mustache after it had attached itself to The Tick. They crashed Dot and Neil's engagement party, where Crystal used her hair dryer to subdue Arthur (to whom the mustache had attached itself). The agents were unable to capture the mustache, which fled attached to Sewer Urchin.

The Tick and Arthur then joined Project SHAVE in chasing the mustache to Dewey Bridge. En route, the agents discovered that Project SHAVE had lost its funding in 1986, and that Jim Rage was keeping the three women 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.

However, after helping free Leonardo da Vinci, she and the inventors managed to free themselves, just in time to assist Leonardo, and his cavalry of Tick and Arthur.

Because she was returned to her time, it is safe to assume that she died around the same time as the real Mona Lisa.

## Personality

Mona Lisa seems to be in good terms with Leonardo da Vinci, reprimanding him when he neglects painting her portrait, but also proudly smiling when he impresses the other inventors with his escape device. When da Vinci was looking for help and Mona Lisa was still caged with the other inventors, she placed her hand on Johannes Gutenberg's, thou.

The 400-Year Bloom is an ancient flower, the only one left of its kind. Its name refers to its odd flowering cycle, in which it blooms every 400 years, and if it's not exposed to gentle music during its "blooming cycle" it will grow exponentially. Any limit its growth may have is never mentioned.

As of the 1990s its assigned guardian is professor Akiko Ikebana. At some point in the decade she brings it to the United States from its home in Japan, which attracts the attention of the supervillain/revolutionary El Seed. He hunts Ikebana and the bloom to The City's annual flower show, where she meets local superheroes Tick, Arthur and American Maid, who she gives the bloom in exchange for a random flower in an attempt to deter El Seed. However, it doesn't take long for him to discover his mistake, and he sends henchpeople to capture the bloom. After obtaining said flower, he takes it to the City Botanical Gardens and lets it bloom in the bad way, though the heroes initially entrusted with the bloom are able to sing the flower back to its normal size and return it to Ikebana.

## Appearances

* Blizten stated that the Fortissimo Brothers have "the strength of ten men". This left The Tick to wonder if that meant ten men combined or ten men each for a total of twenty men.

*If I could just get to those peanuts I'd have us outta here in a flash!*

**George Washington Carver** is a character on the animated television series *The Tick.*

## History

Note: this article only refers to the events of the series and related media.

Carver was a famed inventor and botanist who pioneered and developed many technologies in the world of agriculture, but is best known for his research and discoveries concerning peanuts (he is often thought of as the inventor of peanut butter and peanut brittle, though that is not the case). At some point in his life, he and a few other famous inventors were abducted by the Mother of Invention, and brought through time to The City in the 1990s (his plan is explained in the episode's article). However, after helping free Leonardo da Vinci, he and the other inventors managed to free themselves, just in time to assist Leonardo, and his cavalry of Tick and Arthur.

Because he was returned to his time, it is safe to assume he died around the same time as the real Carver did.

Dot

*Dad really messed you up, didn't he?*

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

## History

Dot is Arthur's sister, and in an attempt to impress her, and convince her that his sidekick lifestyle is a good thing, he invited her to dinner, which he and Tick had to leave to fight and cure Neil, who had become a dinosaur. They were successful, and took him back to their apartment, where he and Dot immediately connected. She later tried to convince Arthur to make up with Tick, who he'd had a massive fight with, and kicked out of his apartment. She eventually married Neil, but their wedding was disrupted by a plot to turn Neil back into a dinosaur. She assisted in saving her husband, and they were married.

## Personality

She is a very calm person, always showing little energy. She is very blunt and, and awkwardly humorless. As Arthur's sister, Dot seems to feel the need to take care of him, almost like his mother. So it goes without saying that Dot disapproved when she found out that Arthur was a superhero's (and a stupid one, at that) sidekick. Although she eventually got used to the idea, and warmed up to Tick.

Baron Violent

Baron Violent at Level 7

**Baron Violent** is a character on the animated television series *The Tick.*

## History

The man known as Baron Violent was a small, un-intimidating fellow who came into possession of a belt that granted its wearer great strength as size. Baron Violent used this belt to become a supervillain.

Baron Violent gleefully wrecked parts of the city, challenging superheroes to face him. He was confronted by the Civic-Minded Five, but he was able to defeat them with relative ease. The Tick arrived to challenge Baron Violent, and they proved to be evenly-matched. Baron Violent increased his size even further, which had the unintended consequence of making his muscles too big for him to reach Arthur when Arthur grappled with his midsection. Arthur was able to remove the belt, and Baron Violent shrunk down to his normal small stature. He demanded that Arthur return his belt, and he skulked off in defeat when Arthur refused.

Determined to recover his belt, Baron Violent went to the Evil Eye Café and recruited two thugs to help him. The Thugs confronted Arthur at the Bistro D'Burden while Baron Violent watched from outside. Arthur, who was now using the belt, defeated the thugs and chased down Baron Violent. Arthur told Baron Violent to leave town, and Baron Violent once again ran away.

Arthur later destroyed the belt after it negatively-affected his personality.

## Paraphernalia

* **Muscle-Enhancing Belt**: Baron Violent was equipped with a belt that caused his muscles (and skeletal system) to expand, granting him superhuman strength. The belt had multiple settings, allowing Baron Violent to increase or reduce his size at will. The origins of the belt are unknown.

Terror

*When you've been in the business as long as I have, you get hep!*

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

## History

When the Terror began his career of supervillainy is unknown, but he was famous as early as the mid-1900s, when he worked with Joseph Stalin on many evil capers. At some point, the Terror also met a fellow named Sockethead. He had a strong dislike of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, and constructed an elaborate device that he used to punch the likeness of Roosevelt that is carved into Mount Rushmore.

The Terror went underground lived into the 1990s, and assembled a team of other villains (although they all took a vote and Handy was chosen to be the leader.), who together took City City Hall hostage, as well as Mayor Blank, but they were stopped by Tick, Arthur and American Maid.

He later participated in an auction held by Charles to but the Tick, who had been transformed into a two-headed, French-speaking, small bird. He got in a bidding war with Chairface Chippendale and Pineapple Pokopo, but Die Fledermaus (disguised as a villain named "The Rake") won the auction. However, he did not have the money he bid, and it started a fight. The villains escaped when American Maid, Sewer urchin, and Arthur arrived, and Charles' cyborg-nanny and cyborg-dog had a destructive fight.

The Terror made another appearance when he used his son to get close to the Decency Squad, and find out where they hid the most powerful device known to man: the Desire-O-Vac, which materializes anything its user desires. He recruited Human Ton and Handy again, but when he found it, his son betrayed him, and the Decency Squad defeated he and his cronies.

## Personality

The Terror is quite egocentric and power hungry, obviously fueling his evil deeds to some extent. His powerful personality often causes him to butt heads with similar people, such as Handy. He is somewhat senile, and is seen to be unaware of others' lack of respect for him, and interest in what he says.

Due in part to his living most of his life in less-progressive time periods, he has little to no respect for women, which he even stated when facing American Maid (obviously a mistake, on his part).

His neglectful and judgmental behavior created an inferiority complex in his son, Terry. Being a sociopath, the Terror uses this to exploit his son.

## Notes

* The Terror is the only Tick villain to appear in every media iteration of the franchise (comic book, animated series, and both live-action series).
