Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


He's superpowered UpToEleven and very protective of Arthur. What if someone tried to scrape whatever was left of the Flag Five from the wreckage of their ship and got a bit of Arthur's dad in that?

Since his costume is more detailed in the moth motif.

* Yes! Rathbone even noted that Arthur's test results were ''unusually'' low, even for someone with no powers. This is presented as an EpicFail, but maybe it's a hint that his power is tied up somewhere else?
* The flashback of Tick's voice coming out of Young Arthur's night light suggests Tick's been... gestating, for lack of a better word, in Arthur's subconscious for a while now. Perhaps his meds kept Tick from manifesting, or perhaps until the pilot Arthur still held doubts about himself. Then he saw proof that he was right, then immediately found himself in danger. He realised that he needed someone to protect him, and also to keep him from wussing out. Enter Tick.

The Terror's MO seems to be plans that are complete nonsense but which, somehow, still inexplicably manage to work - he somehow became a feared, powerful supervillain with a flying death-fortress and a massive soda company despite having a clear aversion to coherent, logical long-term planning and no clearly-defined powers other than being an old man. He also constantly talks about hearing the music of the spheres and similar things in a manner similar to how the Tick talks about hearing the voice of destiny. The logical conclusion is that that "music" is actually his superpowered precognition leading him to ButterflyOfDoom plans that accomplish his goals despite their seeming incoherence. Given that he faked his death, his only real defeats were when The Tick was involved, which may be the result of a ScryVsScry between his instinctive precognition and The Tick's; this also explains why The Terror is so befuddled when things initially don't go according to his plans - even though his plans seem slapdash, they ''always'' work unless someone like The Tick is thwarting them with comparable levels of precognition.

After his supposed death due to the terror, someone took him and began to repair and improve his body, granting him NighInvulnerability in order to avoid the same incident happening twice. This is why he’s drawn to Arthur, and why he can’t remember his own past-the damage to his body was great enough that it caused permanent brain damage, with only brief moments of recollection of his past.

* Also when Arthur asks him about bismuth he avoids the topic by calling it "baggage." Something he doesn't want to talk about and wants to put behind him.

He will be a false lead in the search for The Tick's past, but will be used indirectly as muscle for another villain, as he begins to obsessively attack The Tick to try and claim the name. Most importantly of all, however, he will be played by [[CastingGag Patrick Warburton.]]

* That would explain his reasoning behind becoming a hero he wants to be a good person now because he was a bad person before.
