The Tick (2001) 1.06

Couples

The Tick and Arthur meet another dynamic Duo, Fiery Blaze and Friendly Fire. The two pairs of heroes try hanging out together but the Fiery Blaze's caustic nature proves to be catching. It temporarily drives a wedge between the Tick and Arthur.

Friendly Fire introduces Arthur to some other sidekicks (Johnny Republic, Fish Boy, and Kid Caboose) all of whom have bad relationships with their partners (Uncle Samson, the Angler, Runaway Train). Arthur quickly realizes how little he has in common with the other sidekicks.

Captain Liberty decides that she needs a dog. Batmanuel tries to help her get one but his inability to get her the dog she wants leads to problems.

Thoughts

Ron Perlman plays Fiery Blaze. I've seen him in lots of other things. Hellboy is the first thing that comes to mind but that didn't come out until 2004. He played superheroes and supervillains in a number of TV shows, most if not all of which were cartoons, prior to this episode. This is his only appearance on this show.

I did not recognize any of the actors who played the other sidekicks.

This was fun, not great but good.
