The Plot of the Tick is very simple. The City is a place crawling with superheroes, and a new one has just been added to the mix. After receiving an assignment to the City, the Tick becomes it's newest and bluest superhero. Quickly meeting up with Arthur, an accountant in a moth suit who desires a little adventure (very little), the Tick begins to protect the City he calls home. Moving in with his chubby new sidekick, the Tick gleefuly faces a new bizarre villian every week.
