* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: Like many superheroes of the era, The Tick received a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tick_(video_game) video game]] for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis and [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem Super Nintendo]]. Reviewers were split on how successful it was in capturing the series' signature humor, but its clunky BeatEmUp gameplay, low frame-rate and overall repetitive nature did not endear it to many critics or players. [=GameRankings=] gives the SNES version a score of [[http://www.gamerankings.com/snes/588790-the-tick/index.html 47.50%]], and the Genesis version [[http://www.gamerankings.com/genesis/586538-the-tick/index.html 46.25%]]. However, more than a few die-hard Tick fans will commend and defend it for combining elements of the cartoon and the comic book, which is a lot more impressive than what other licensed games were doing at the time in that department.

* DelusionConclusion: There is a theory that the Tick is actually a child with leukemia and that his adventures are all in his head, with certain characters reflecting people in his life (such as American Maid and Die Fledermaus being his divorced parents).

** In the episode "That Moustache Feeling" after the Tick's moustache [[ItMakesSenseInContext latches on to Sewer Urchin]], it starts running away by moving its hairs like tentacles, which is similar to a combo of ComicBook/{{Venom}} in ''VideoGame/UltimateSpiderMan''.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: ''The Tick vs. Dot and Neil's Wedding'' sees a team up between Chairface Chippendale, El Seed, and the Breadmaster, refreshingly getting along and at no point trying to double cross one another. Unfortunately this is because the latter two disappear halfway through the episode.

* MagnificentBastard:
** [[FauxAffablyEvil Chairface Chippendale]] is a deviously [[DiabolicalMastermind diabolical genius]] out to pay back the world for rejecting his glorious furniture head. So respected and feared by the criminal community as one of the world's greatest villains that a massive gathering of crooks and ne'er-do-wells throw him a surprise party, Chairface takes the opportunity to trap the Tick and his partners while carving his name into the moon with a super laser, partially succeeding before being stopped. Undeterred by his initial defeat, Chairface goes on to concoct a brilliant plot to drive Dinosaur Neil into his mutated form once more by sabotaging the man's wedding, Chairface forming a VillainTeamUp to then take control of Neil. In his final scheme, Chairface uses his ally Professor Chromedome to obtain a body-swapping device, then transfers his mind into the form of the Tick, intending to destroy the machine to ensure its effects are never reversed. WickedCultured and always facing defeat with mere annoyance before continuing his ingenious ways, Chairface is the closest thing the Tick ever has to a true ArchEnemy.
** [[ChefOfIron The Breadmaster]] is one of the few recurring villains in the series, and always presents a major threat with his culinary schemes. Thrown out of Baking College for [[EvilChef using his unrivaled cooking skills for evil]], the Breadmaster stages a series of "bread bombings" throughout the City, destroying bakeries that he chastises for falling short of cooking perfection. Tricking the City into supplying him with tons of baking materials, the Breadmaster nearly destroys the entire City with a giant, growing souffle. Later teaming up with Chairface and El Seed for a time to masterfully disrupt Dinosaur Neil's wedding, the Breadmaster then goes about sending killer gingerbread men to heroes throughout the City, [[EvenEvilHasStandards his baking pride]] ensuring that the cookies taste delicious and go properly stale without artificial preservatives. The Breadmaster then uses a cookie tank to nearly destroy the City's new hero [[FlyingBrick Eclair]], having adapted it to deflect all manner of her powers.
** "The Tick VS Reno, Nevada": [[DeviousDolphins The Fin]] was once a trained show fish named "Mr. Smartypants", run through hoops of fire and other humiliating, dangerous torments by his trainers Soren and Frederica. Escaping from his trainers by staging a "[[FakedKidnapping kidnapping]]" of himself, the Fin uses his cultist followers to pull off heists throughout Reno and bring him the necessary technology to construct a "fish magnet." Capturing Soren and Frederica, the Fin uses the magnet to rain down tons of fish into Reno, hoping to flood the whole city with his favorite snack. Dueling the Tick in a breath-holding contest for the fate of Reno, the Fin winds up back in Soren and Frederica's care, but with a decidedly more suitable role as an entertainer: to [[InsultComic fling mocking taunts at his trainers and the audience for laughs]].

** The Heys from "Tick vs. The Big Nothing" are astonishingly similar to The White from VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV, due to them both being a group of fanatical nihilists who plan to use a black hole to reduce the universe to nothing.
