    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The Champion's single curl of black hair, and the effectiveness of his disguise consisting only of eyeglasses, allude clearly to Superman / Clark Kent.
    • Goofs
      Arthur reads aloud from the League's invitation plaque; however, what he says is not close to what is actually written in the invitation.
    • Quotes

      Arthur: [crooning over League invitation] I don't believe this. Tick, in a million years did you ever think we'd be asked to join the League?

      Arthur: In the last million years... twice.

    • Crazy credits
      An extended scene of The Tick's initiation into The Leaque is played over the credits. League members proceed to hit The Tick with paddles 1000 times. The Tick is completely oblivious and tries to engage them in inane chit chat.
