** The Terrors son Terry (who's roughly the same age as the Decency Squad) finally turning on his asshole father and knocks him out of the Desiro-Vac. It bears mentioning that Terry was never actually a villain (he was a retired white collar worker) and had only helped The Terror in the hopes that the two could finally bond. He finally has enough and decides he'd rather be friends with the Decency Squad than put up with the Terrors crap.

* ''Evil Sits Down For a Moment'' sees the Tick fall into the World's Most Comfortable Chair, which is so comfortable the last person who sat in it was unable to get out of it for ''20 years''. He manages to break free by sheer force of will.

While that was awesome, his entry on the character page says he was created for the cartoon, so his awesome entry should be and is already there


* Getting to see how Sewer Urchin is really a very effective superhero and complete badass when he's working on his home turf.

Redundant entry


* The Tick storming the government lab while under Mr. Mental's control, calmly tearing through every obstacle in his way. A rather chilling taste of how effective and brutal the Tick could be without his gung ho heroic attitude.

Moved to The Tick 2016


!!''Amazon Prime Series Examples''
* The Tick confronting The Pyramid Gang in a warehouse, [[NoSell no selling]] [[UnflinchingWalk every attack,]] from having a board smashed in his face, to a dozen guns firing at once. That's not the awesome part. The awesome part is seeing Tick hamming it up, and [[BloodKnight laughing like a maniac as the whole gang opens fire.]]
-->'''Enough of your hot little bullets!'''
** Also of note, the the whole thing is filmed like something out of ''Series/{{Daredevil|2015}}'' or ''Film/TheDarkKnight''. Other than the Tick himself, everything is played perfectly straight.
* The Tick's fight with Overkill is one for both of them. It starts with Tick shrugging off a volley of attacks without effort, even complimenting Overkill on the bomb used on him. Then, realising he can't hurt him, Overkill finds a way to turn the fight around in his favour by squeezing Tick's antennae and throwing him out the window.
* The above is followed by perhaps the most Tick-like moment of all; turning even his own ''getting thrown out a multi-story window into a speech about destiny and embracing it.''
* The rescue at the end of episode six, with Tick struggling to hold up a teetering bus while Arthur rescues the people trapped inside. It's the moment where Arthur ceases to be a hapless victim running in a stolen suit and becomes a real superhero.



* All three ways the Tick can finish off a combo: An uppercut, flicking the opponent's forehead, and a [[RoundhouseKick spinning hook kick]].

* Issue 100, The Tick/Invincible: The two heroes team up to battle Martin of Mars (Imagine ComicBook/MartianManhunter crossed with [[Franchise/LooneyTunes Marvin The Martian]]). It's a fun romp...until [[spoiler: Martin disintegrates Arthur]]. Understandably upset, they decide to [[spoiler: FLY TO MARS AND SHOVE THE MOON ONTO MARTIN'S BASE, PINNING HIM TO THE GROUND.]] Very possibly the coolest thing the character has ever done.
