Meet the characters from The Tick

The Tick

The Tick is a towering, absurd, blue-suited powerhouse who treats the world like a Saturday cartoon and a noble crusade at the same time. He’s stupidly idealistic—constantly shouting about justice and wearing his heart on his fist—yet somehow has the instincts of a genuine if chaotic hero. Childlike curiosity, terrible at subtlety, loves to punch things but also will pause to sing a ridiculous jingle for no reason (and yes, he keeps misplacing his cape? maybe he doesn’t have one?). He’s the show’s comedic, emotional center: equal parts walking punchline and inspirational goof who makes even the most sensible characters do something ridiculous.

Arthur Everest

Arthur is the anxious, moth-suited foil who somehow grounds all the chaos even when he’s flapping in a panic. He’s a nervous type: meticulous, overthinking, carries an emergency kit and a list, and yet turns into a brave, fretful hero when it counts. He loves routines, hates noise, sometimes quotes obscure manuals, and occasionally scares himself by doing something completely reckless (like… jumping off a building? maybe—memory fuzzy). Loyal to a fault and the kind of person who will vacuum someone’s living room after a fight to fix things, Arthur is tiny, earnest, and quietly heroic — probably hoarding tea bags.

Dot Everest

Dot is sharp, sarcastic, and hilariously practical—the sibling who will call out nonsense and then immediately file a complaint form. She runs her life like a small business, great at negotiation, and not above using a spreadsheet to optimize superheroing—also terrible at puns, or maybe obsessed with them, can’t decide. Fiercely protective and skeptical of grand speeches, she has a soft secret (drawer full of consolation cookies? yes) that she pretends not to remember. Smart, efficient, and unexpectedly funny, Dot keeps the team from spiraling and somehow makes sense of everyone else’s chaos.

Superian

Superian is the poster-boy golden-helmeted paragone of superhero privilege: polished, handsome, loudly correct and kind of unbearable. He’s competent to the point of smugness, gives rousing speeches, and genuinely believes in his own moral compass (which is both inspiring and infuriating because it’s a bit rigid). There’s a glossy hero sheen—he frowns at messes but will also pause mid-battle to fix a crooked picture frame like it’s a moral duty. He looks like a statue, acts like a captain, and is the sort of guy who’d deliver a TED Talk about heroism between punching a villain.

Ms. Lint

Ms. Lint is this weirdly delightful domestic menace—part spinster, part textile-themed super, and entirely convinced that lint is the next big thing in villainy. She obsesses over cleanliness rules and tiny fibers with the focus of a detective, but she’ll unleash a blizzard of deadly dust bunnies if crossed (also she hums old soap-opera theme songs while doing it—no, really). Small but formidable, she loves lists and teacups and can shift from quaint to terrifying in a heartbeat depending on whether you shook out her doily. You never know if she’s going to offer you a biscuit or tie you up in yarn; that charmingly unpredictable energy is her whole vibe.

Overkill

Overkill is the grim, heavily armored mercenary who treats heroics like a military operation and never misses an opportunity to look broody in a dimly lit alley. Expert, efficient, terrifyingly practical—he’s the “adult” in a world of pratfalls and boasts, with cold eyes and the kind of aim that ends arguments permanently. And yet, in a weird twist, he collects tiny model ships and apparently plays soft piano pieces when he’s tired (or that’s a rumor I choose to believe because it makes him less terrifying). He believes in rules, contracts, and consequences, which is both reassuring and kind of scary when he’s on your side. Basically, Overkill is the show’s dark shadow: competent, uncompromising, and possibly a secret softie who cries at commercials — or doesn’t; details fuzzy.
