The Tick vs. The Idea Men

This was the episode that started it all. It does a great job of introducing all the main characters of the series while still being absolutely hilarious. The episode starts off with a short interview of The Tick and Arthur, where they describe working together as superheoes, and then The Tick explains how he got his beginning. The Tick had gone to Reno to attend the Superhero tyrouts, where Superhero's demonstrate their abilities and are assigned to a city by a board of celebrity judges. Tick shows up with the 'Danger box' and blows up the entire competition, and so he is assigned to The City.

Die Fledermaus makes an entrance

An Idea Man

Soon after arriving at The City, he encounters Arthur, who was just fired from his accounting job. The two join up to fight crime and soon find themselves facing The Idea Men, a group of terrorists who wear masks (so no one can tell what they are saying). The Idea Men attack the city dam and all the heroes of The City turn out to try to try to stop them...
