Season 1:
The Tick moves to the City and meets superhero wannabe Arthur, who helps battle an archival Soviet robot programmed to kill Jimmy Carter.
A superhero dies on a book tour while in the, um, care of Captain Liberty, who initiates a coverup, with Batmanuel playing impostor, while Arthur and the Tick deal with the body.
A crimefighting duo's teamwork impresses the Tick, but Arthur detects an underlying tension between the pair.
Tick's inability to account for his past prompts a search for his identity; Captain Liberty dates a man who thinks she's a civilian.
The Tick assumes he's invited along when Arthur has a date with the girl he worshipped in high school; old nude photos haunt Captain Liberty, who faces a disciplinary hearing.
The all-male League of Superheroes invites Tick and Arthur to join, prompting Captain Liberty to sue for discrimination.
Tick is jailed for contempt after testifying against a supervillain, who counsels his guard Captain Liberty on her love life.
Arthur's mom and sister hire a deprogrammer after he tells them of his choice to be a superhero and his partnership with Tick.
Irked by Tick's enthusiasm, Liberty baits him into fighting an archvillain, who happens to be bedridden and 112 years old.
