The Terror is a character on the animated television series The Tick.

History[]

When the Terror began his career of supervillainy is unknown, but he was famous as early as the mid-1900s, when he worked with Joseph Stalin on many evil capers. At some point, the Terror also met a fellow named Sockethead. He had a strong dislike of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, and constructed an elaborate device that he used to punch the likeness of Roosevelt that is carved into Mount Rushmore.

The Terror went underground lived into the 1990s, and assembled a team of other villains (although they all took a vote and Handy was chosen to be the leader.), who together took City City Hall hostage, as well as Mayor Blank, but they were stopped by Tick, Arthur and American Maid.

He later participated in an auction held by Charles to but the Tick, who had been transformed into a two-headed, French-speaking, small bird. He got in a bidding war with Chairface Chippendale and Pineapple Pokopo, but Die Fledermaus (disguised as a villain named "The Rake") won the auction. However, he did not have the money he bid, and it started a fight. The villains escaped when American Maid, Sewer urchin, and Arthur arrived, and Charles' cyborg-nanny and cyborg-dog had a destructive fight.

The Terror made another appearance when he used his son to get close to the Decency Squad, and find out where they hid the most powerful device known to man: the Desire-O-Vac, which materializes anything its user desires. He recruited Human Ton and Handy again, but when he found it, his son betrayed him, and the Decency Squad defeated he and his cronies.

Personality[]

The Terror is quite egocentric and power hungry, obviously fueling his evil deeds to some extent. His powerful personality often causes him to butt heads with similar people, such as Handy. He is somewhat senile, and is seen to be unaware of others' lack of respect for him, and interest in what he says.

Due in part to his living most of his life in less-progressive time periods, he has little to no respect for women, which he even stated when facing American Maid (obviously a mistake, on his part).

His neglectful and judgmental behavior created an inferiority complex in his son, Terry. Being a sociopath, the Terror uses this to exploit his son.

Notes[]

  • The Terror is the only Tick villain to appear in every media iteration of the franchise (comic book, animated series, and both live-action series).
