n : A superhero character created by comicbook writer
Ben Edlund. The Tick comic spawned an animated TV series (1994-1997) and a short lived live-action series (2001).
The Tick was characterized by his blue costume, a never-say-die attitude, his child like personality, an unyeilding definition of justice and his need to uphold it. His superpowers consisted of nigh-invulnerability and super-human strength. His main catch phrase was "SSSSPPPPOOOONNNN".
His main ally was Arthur (Mothman) who had the ability to fly, but he also teamed up with Speak (The Furry, Moist Avenger) who was a Mexican Capybara and
Little Wooden Boy a
little wooden boy The Tick carved himeself. Other superheros in the Tick universe are American Maid, Die Fledermaus and Sewer Urchin. Supervillians he battled included Chairface Chippendale, Dinosaur Neil and the Swedish Army.
Example:
Tick: And so, may Evil beware and may Good dress warmly and eat lots of fresh vegetables.
Tick: Everybody was a baby once, Arthur. Oh, sure, maybe
not today, or even yesterday. But once. Babies, chum: tiny, dimpled, fleshy mirrors of our us-ness, that we parents hurl into the future, like leathery
footballs of hope. And you've got to get a good spiral on that baby, or evil will make
an interception.

as opposed to the typical pronunciation "
thickness" which refers to a thick, desirable,
voluptuous woman (usually with a large behind and fine curves), this word is pronounced tick-ness, so as to
adhere more to the gangster accent/origin from which the term is derived
