Baron
Violent
Baron
Violent is a standard villain; huge and mean. His power, though,
is from a muscle belt that has a dial that allows him to chose
his power level 1-10. Arthur
steals his belt and uses it to gon a rampage, so it seems that
the belt was more important to the story than the Baron.
Appearances:
Tick vs. Arthur
Baron
Violent was voiced by Brian Peck

Barry
The Tick
Barry
is the brother of the owner of the Comet Club and he desperately
wants to be a superhero. Unfortunately for everyone, he's not
really a hero as much as he's a pushy jerk. He has an epic battle
with The Tick for the right to the
name The Tick.
Barry
also appears frequently in Tick comics.
Appearances:
The Tick vs. The Tick
Barry was voiced by Jim Cummings |

Betty,
The Queen of the Ants
Betty
leads the ants of The City in a revolution and builds a giant
magnifying glass to fry the people. The ants themselves are creepy
enough to send The Tick to
Captain Sanity's Superhero Sanitarium and put American
Maid, Sewer Urchin, Die
Fledermaus, Arthur,
and Fishboy into a giant people
farm. Fortunately, Tick recovers in time to save the day!
Appearances:

Brainchild
(Charles)
Brainchild
is a boy-genius bent on doing evil acts. As the villains of The
Tick world go, he's pretty annoying. I don't like him. His sidekick/henchman
is Skippy, a robot dog he
built from his puppy after an unfortunate car chasing accident
(Skippy liked to chase cars that were headed towards him)
In
Coach Fussell's Lament Brainchild manages
to capture The Tick and turn him into a two-headed bird that can
only talk high-school French. This was a much better episode than
The Tick vs. Brainchild.
Appearances:
The Tick vs. Brainchild, Coach
Fussell's Lament
Brainchild
was voiced by Rob Paulson in The Tick vs.Brainchild, and Stuart
Stone in Coach Fussell's Lament.

The
Breadmaster
The
Breadmaster is an evil baker that uses baked goods to terrorize
The City. He hates inferior baked goods and blew up Stuart's Food
Mart and The White Bread Baking Company up with bread loaf-bombs.
In his later exploits, his gingerbread men terrorize the heroes
of The City until they go stale.
In
all, the antics of The Breadmaster and his sidekick Buttery
Pat are hilarious and creative; he is one of the more more
developed villains in the series. In Tick
vs. Europe the Breadmaster seeks to conquer the city with
the aid of his wicked henchcookies, The
Gingerbreadmen (who are absolutely hilarious!)
Appearances:
The Tick vs. The Breadmaster,
Tick vs. Dot and Neil's Wedding, Tick
vs. Europe
The
Breadmaster was originally (The Tick vs. The Breadmaster) voiced by Roddy McDowell but was later voiced by Jess Harnell

The
Deadly Bulb
(Pigleg)
The
Deadly Bulb is a man who has a pig for his left leg. As such,
he tries to become a supervillain to keep people from noticing
the pig. He manages to capture Arthur
and lured the Tick into a
trap, but they were saved by American
Maid and The Deadly Bulb vowed to spend the rest of his days
making his pig leg happy.
His
henchmen were Watt and Socket.
Appearances:

The
Deadly Nose
The
Deadly Nose appears to have a shotgun as a nose, but in a fight
with The Tick at Chairface
Chippendale's birthday party it shoots out a red laser beam.
The Tick shouts out "Don't blow your nose at ME, Mister!"
So far, the Deadly Nose hasn't reappeared.
Appearances:
The Tick vs. Chairface Chippendale

Deadly Nose has no lines.

Dynamole
Dynamole
was a guest at Chairface
Chippendale's birthday party. I always thought he was just
a bit character, but they did make an action figure out of him,
so I guess he should be included.
Appearances:
The Tick vs. Chairface Chippendale
Dynamole

The
Eastern Bloc Robot Cowboy
The
Eastern Bloc Robot Cowboy is an unusual villain; he is a brain
in a vending machine who speaks with a western accent. He challenges
the Tick to several showdowns,
but Tick eventually defeats him with a quarter (he bought his
brain)
Appearances:
Tick vs. Europe
The
Eastern Bloc Robot Cowboy was voiced by Pat Fraley

El
Seed
El
Seed is a spanish flower bent on taking revenge on the animals
of the Earth for the way they treat plants. (They walk on us!
They eat us! They squeeze us for juice!) He talks with a hilarious
Spanish accent (Spanish - European, not Hispanic). He invented
a serum that makes plants animate and he used it to create an
army, but The Tick thwarted
his plans...
His
sidekicks/henchpeople are the Bee
Twins and his army of plants.
Appearances:

Bloomsday, Coach
Fussell's Lament, Tick
vs. Dot and Neil's Wedding

Seed was voiced by Ed Gilbert

The
Evil Midnight Bomber
(What Bombs at Midnight!)
The
Evil Midnight Bomber is one of the funniest villains to ever grace
The Tick universe. He has multiple personalities and they're all
insane; he tries to blow up the Comet Club to gain fame as a supervillain
but thanks to The Tick he ends up blowing up the Sidekick's Lounge.
What
really makes the Bomber funny is his dialogue and voice. Check
out some of these clips:

The
Fin
(Mr. Smarty Pants)
The
Fin is the smartest dolphin in the world, but he is driven to
evil by his annoying enter-trainers Soren and Frederica. He escapes
from his hotel in Reno, Nevada and constructs a giant Fish Magnet
to bury the city in fish, but he is thwarted when The
Tick proves he can hold his breathe longer than the dolphin.
Appearances:
The Tick vs. Reno, Nevada
The
Fin was voiced by Maurice LaMarche

Harriet
Curse
I'm
not sure I have the name right on this one; it sounds like Harriet
Curse but it was pretty quick. Anyone else know? Anyway, she was
a guest at Chairface
Chippendale's birthday party. The most striking thing about
her is her resemblence to Amanda, Oedipus's mother from the comics.
Appearances:
The Tick vs. Chairface Chippendale

Curse had no lines.

The
Heys
The
Heys are a nihilistic race who worship nothing. They decide to
try to destroy the Universe and after building their doomsday
device they have a presentation; and even though the only word
in their language is Hey they still manage to have a victory speech
that lasts several years.
The
Whats recruit The Tick
to try to stop The Heys, and hilarity ensues. The Tick manages
to stop the ceremony by defying the laws of physics, and then
he manages to destroy their ultimate weapon, The Infinity Ball,
and The Tick becomes The Heys' new god.
Appearances:
The Tick vs. The Big Nothing
The
Heys were voiced by Hank Saroyan and Steve Susskind

The
Hotel Manager
The
Hotel Manager is a man from the distant future who opens up a
restaurant in the distant past. The guests travel there via time
machine (yes, just like The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
by Douglas Adams).
He's
pretty funny as he's very evolved, but he's still a stupid jerk.
Appearances:
Tick vs. Prehistory
The
Hotel Manager was voiced by Maruice LaMarche

The
Human Ton and Handy
The
Human Ton is an inarticulate blob who uses brute force to back
up The Terror. Handy the
puppet, though, seems to be educated and well-informed; ironically
enough. Handy is probably the most entertaining character in the
league of evil, and he isn't too bad a villain either (he punched
out Arthur in The
Tick vs. Arthur's Bank Account). He frequently makes literary
references that go over the heads of the rest of the league, and
then he shouts "read a book!" By far the most entertaining
moment for Handy was when The Human Ton was eating The
Tick's head and Handy bragged about how he could still talk.
In
Grandpa Wore Tights Handy talks on the
phone to and tries to use the Desire-O-Vac to make himself a real
boy...

The
Idea Men
The
Idea Men were a group of terrorists that appeared in The
Tick vs. The Idea Men. They first robbed the bank and escaped
with their blimp; then they held The City ransom by threatening
the dam. Unfortunately, because of the masks they wore, no one
could understand anything they said. Of course, The
Tick managed to thwart their plans and blow up their blimp,
but they are still pretty funny.

The
Indigestible Man
The
Indigestible Man is exactly that; indigestible. He ventures into
Dinosaur Neil and hooks up to his brain to control him, but when
he relaxes and starts eating his lunch (which I guess isn't indigestible,
but who knows?) he's thwarted by The
Tick and Sewer Urchin's
mini-sub.
Fortunately
for all of us, The Indigestible Man also has indigestible underwear...

Indigestible Man was voiced by Ed Gilbert

Jim
Rage
Jim
Rage was a government special agent tasked with destroying The
mustache, but after 15 years of failure his funding was cut.
He didn't bother to tell his team, Project Shave, that they were
no longer a legitimate government operation, and so Holly, Kitty,
and Crystal continued to hunt the mustache with Jim.
Perhaps
the Tick sums it up most
concisely; "you're just
a jerk who hates my mustache!"
Appearances:
That mustache Feeling

Rage was voiced by Brad Garrett

Joseph
Stalin
Stalin
was an evil dictator of Russia for many years, but here he's a
crony of The Terror. The
only time the real Stalin is used in the series is when his plan
to conquer the Earth with Atomic Robot Zombie Men is foiled by
the Decency Squad.
Appearances:

Stalin had no lines.

Lava
Man
Just
to be specific, this character is A Lava Man, not The Lava Man.
He was never given any other name, though, so I'll go with it.
He is an assassin sent to rub out the Mole
King. Personally, the I found the Mole King so annoying I
wished Lava Man was successful.

Man was voiced by Townsend Coleman

Lou
Salazar, The Sewer Czar
Lou
Salazar was a corrupt civil servant who turned evil. He tried
to conquer the city using Filth,
but he was defeated twice by the mighty Sewer
Urchin. He has some great lines, like 'we will besmirch the
city to its knees' and 'slouch upward to victory!'
Appearances:
Tick vs. Filth
Lou
Salazar was voiced by John Mariano

The
Man Eating Cow
The
Man Eating Cow is a character from the comics
that was changed a bit in translation. In the comics, The
Man Eating Cow is owned by Chairface
Chippendale who trains her to eat people, but she escapes
and becomes a superhero (in fact, she has her own comic spin-off).
In the cartoon, the Man Eating Cow is a member of The
Terror's league of evil, where she conspires to kidnap the
mayor and rule the world. The Man Eating Cow is a very entertaining
character even if she can't actually actually speak.
Appearances:
The Tick vs. Arthur's Bank Account

Man Eating Cow was voiced by Townsend Coleman

Mr.
Mental and Mynda
Mr.
Mental appears several times throughout the series. He is a mentalist
who has the power to hypnotize others; and he uses his powers
in The Tick vs. Mr. Mental to take control
of The Tick and sends him
to "fetch" the Thinking Cap. Later in the series, in
Devil in Diapers, Mr. Mental hypnotizes
The Tick and Arthur into
thinking he is a baby and uses them for protection.
I
like Mr. Mental; he is a simple, straightforward villain with
only one goal (world domination). His plans are often foiled by
bad luck or lack of competent help, and I tend to identify with
him (especially when he forgets his supreme weapon in the back-seat
of a Taxi and when he argues with his girlfriend / sidekick, Mynda,
pleading for "emotional support" for his sinister schemes.
Appearances:
The Tick vs. Mr. Mental, Devil

Mr.
Mental was voiced by Jim Cummings (and by Canned Walla as a baby),
Mynda was voiced by Jennifer Darling

The
Mother of Invention
The
Mother of Invention is a weird character who appears in Leonardo
DaVinci and his Fightin' Genius Time Commandos!. He (?) uses
a time machine to kidnap the greatest inventors of all time (Leonardo
DaVinci, Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison, Wheel, Johann Gutenberg,
and George Washington Carver) and plans to steal their inventions
after he blows up the renaissance. Of course, if he can invent
a time machine, why does he need to steal other peoples inventions?
And is he a guy? If so, why does he call himself Mother?

Multiple
Santa
Multiple
Santa is a bank robber who steals a Santa suit to elude the police;
during the chase, though, he's thrown into a neon sign and fried.
Instead of killing him, though, the electricity makes clones of
him appear and they go on a rampage.
Multiple
Santa is absolutely hilarious; and after the original hooks himself
up to the Hydroelectric plant at the City Dam, we get one of my
favorite Tickisms; "It's a Yule Tide!!!"
Appearances:
The Tick Loves Santa!
Multiple
Santa was voiced by Jim Cummings

Octo
Paganini
Octo
Paganini is a European villain who lives in Antwerp. He comes
into contact with The Tick

the king of Belgium and is about to conquer the country when Tick
and Blitzen manage to foil his
plot.

Omnipotus
Devourer of Worlds
Omnipotus
is a huge man who floats through space eating planets. He encounters
The Tick in Alone
Together after Tick is blown off the moon, and he makes a
deal to take Tick back to Earth for some "services".
Much to the dismay of The Tick, those services turned out to be
mainly hygeine; as he had Tick rub his feet, pluck his eyebrows,
and pull a planet out of his ear.
Once
they reached the Earth, Omnipotus began eating it and was only
stopped when The Tick illustrated the many splendors that Earth
had to offer (Look! Bowling Trophy!)
Omnipotus
is also responsible for the big bite-mark on the Moon seen for
the second half of the TV series.

The
Ottoman Empress
The
Ottoman Empress was a girl who grew up alone; her only friends
were furniture, and until she was 13 she was a coffee table. Now,
she uses her formidible powers of furniture control to try to
conquer the City. Fortunately for everyone (but Die
Fledermaus) she is in love with Die Fledermaus and spends
all her time and energy pursueing him...
The
Ottoman was eventually thwarted by The
Tick, who caught her in the World's Most Comfortable Chair.

Pineapple
Pokopo
Pineapple
Pokopo is the military dictator of Pokoponesia. In his own words;
"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!"
Pokopo
is amusing in that he is a true despot, but he also desperately
wants tourists to visit his island. Unfortunately for him, the
only thing Pokoponesia has to offer is pineapples and sharks.

Proto
Clown
Proto
Clown is the creation of Bud, the Clowing Engineer. He was genetically
created to be bigger and funnier than normal clowns; but what
he really is is big and very angry! (Proto Clown hates it when
people laugh at him) Proto Clown goes on a rampage through The
City, defeating the City's heroes one by one (he sent The
Tick into orbit by hitting him with a bus). Proto Clown is
eventually stopped when The Tick plummets back to Earth, but his
reign of humor goes on....

Stalingrad
is a member of The Terror's

Earth with his newfound love, Tuun-La.

Terry
Terry
is the son of The Terror.
He is a retired insurance adjuster, but he tries a brief stint
as a supervillain to try to endear himself to his father. It doesn't
work, of course, but we do get a great line from The Terror about
it;
If
you want to be close to me, sonny, try doing something bad, not
something badly!
Eventually,
Terry stands up to his father and helps The Decency Squad stop
him.

Thrakkorzog
Thrakkorzog
is the evil ruler of dimension 14B. He comes to the Earth and
tries to conquer it by creating an army of Tick
clones. Furtunately for everyone, the only tissue sample from
The Tick he can get is a used kleenex, so the best clone he got
was the Mucus Tick. The
Tick was able to defeat the Mucus Tick in one of the most disgusting
acts ever, and it seems Thrakkorzog was vanquished as well...
Thrakkorzog
has a sidekick (sort of) in that his tongue has a small face and
mouth on it (picture Alien) that pops out and talks about eating
brains. His name is never given...

Tuun-La
is a space alien bent on conquering the Earth. Until she does,

Uncle
Creamy
Uncle
Creamy was an actor used as a corporate mascot to sell ice cream,
but after a freak industrial accident he is transformed into a
seemingly evil ice cream cone. I say seemingly evil because he
comes out as a supervillain, but in actuality he may be a hero
since the company he terrorizes is itself evil. Who knows? I think
his voice is Bobcat Goldthwait, which should tell you quite a
bit about his character.

Uncle
Creamy II
The
New and Improved Uncle Creamy is acutally a former KGB agent named
Ivan Brubek. He's hired to kill the original Uncle

rocket boots and he has a missle launcher on his left arm.

The
Whirling Scottish Devil
The
Whirling Scottish Devil is a minor villain who goes on a rampage
after The Tick is blown into
space in Alone Together. He seems to
be the punchline to the joke "What do you get when you cross
the Enterprise's chief engineer and the Tasmanian Devil?"
but he's pretty funny nonetheless.
He
is mainly opposed by Arthur
as he tries to find a new superhero to 'kick for, but he manages
to defeat Die Fledermaus
(who doesn't really fight crime) and Human
Bullet (who overshot himself into a building with Arthur in
tow)
He
is finally defeated by the fiberglass head of the Tick memorial
statue when The Tick returns to Earth in a rocket shoe.
