beacon of justice
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we
will explore the comic book origins of
the tick a hero with no secret identity
as with most comic book characters there
are often reimagining and different
versions to a character’s past we have
chosen to primarily follow the storyline
that unfolded in issue number 1 of 1988
the tick which was expanded upon in the
cartoon and live-action programs of the
same name who was that blue stranger he
was the tick this satirical superhero
was originally created by artist Ben
Edlund as the fictional mascot for the
newsletter for the New England comics
chain of comic book stores however it
quickly prompted its own black and white
series which later received colored
editions interestingly the tix costume
was originally conceived to be brown but
he was instead made blue as it looked
better in print and fit the characters
comedic underpinnings in the tics very
first comic issue he was first shown to
be restrained by a straightjacket having
already been confined for two months and
feeling quite bored he escaped answering
the call of the city known only as the
city he was soon dashing over the
rooftops with no memory of his previous
life due to frequent blows to the head
the blue outfit he wore became his true
identity aspiring to become a superhero
the tick wielded such non-functional
gadgets as his secret crime viewfinder
exploring the city and causing more
havoc that he prevented the dim-witted
do-gooder soon discovered that he
possessed near invincibility hilariously
this meant that even though he was
unable to be harmed he could still be
hurt and experienced brain trauma
interestingly though the tick is
somewhat unique for having no real
secret identity or at least none that he
can remember he briefly took on the
false identity of Neville Ned a weekly
world planet crossword editor
courageously the only disguise he wore
consisted of a tie over his blue outfit
believing that it would hide his true
identity when in battle the tick wielded
superhuman strength as well as drama
power the ability to naturally make
situations more dramatic all while
shouting his iconic yet non sequiturs

explore a crazy world never letting his
limited knowledge of life interfere with
his desire to protect humanity the tick
