    Don’t be ashamed of your character that looks like the Tick, just remember Crimson Chin still exists and it’s basically identical to The Tick.

    @Kek The Hero I think NB Studios is being too hard on himself. I can see the inspiration in the character design as far as sihlouettes go. But with that hair style, the beard, and mask resembling more of Robin and The Incredibles than the Tick? I don't see how Face Beast looks like The Tick.

    One of the many things I love about the animated series, is Chairface Chippendale's plot to deface the moon. Other shows of the time would have stopped the villain before he could implement his plan and maintained the status quo. Here the "Cha" on the moon could be seen for the rest of the shows' run. Also there was no way Chairface could fit his whole name, using that font.

    What I like about the version from 2016, is that it appears that his origin story in that one may be that he didn't even exist until his existence was necessary for Arthur plot armor. That is my favorite interpretation of his origin. He wasn't born. He wasn't an ordinary guy who gained powers. He doesn't have a past. He simply, is, because it's necessary for him to be.

In my opinion the actor who played him was amazing at playing the role, although I guess if you were a fan of the other versions I can't really speak in that aspect as I never seen anything else yet. I'm so dissapointed they cancelled season 3, I really wanted to find out if Walter had to do with the creation of the Tick.
