Hey! I've got a set of custom figures that I made a few years back based on the characters from the The Tick! They are currently on OLD dials, and I want to update them...the newer the set, the better. Below is a list (with a brief description in case you aren't familiar with them) of the figures that I have. I'm looking for suggestions for what figures I could use. A theme would be awesome. Making the 5 figures add up to a multiple of 100 would be great, too. Tick should be the strongest by a bit (150+ pts on a 500 pt team). American Maid should be the second, with the other three rounding out the rest of the team. I would expect Arthur to the weakest, but not by much compared to DF and Sewer Urchin.


The Tick
He's a brick, super-strength, invul/imperv, no range.

Arthur (he's a moth)
Basically just a normal guy that's a flyer. Should be the lowest point if possible. Some outwit or perplex or something like that would be fine, but he definitely shouldn't have psychic blast or anything. Also, no range.

American Maid
Think Captain America.

Die Fledermaus
Think Batman.

Sewer Urchin
He stinks...literally. Poison would be nice, but not necessary. Same for the Dolphin move symbol. Lot's of latitude on this figure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sewer Urchin should actually have an insanely good dial due to all the stuff he has to constantly deal with in the sewers of The City.
I loved the episode that showed what he actually does down there!!

magneto....

I just knew everyone would be itching to give their opinions! :/

For The Tick I suggest She-Hulk #204 from the Hulk set, the one with the "HERE'S JENNY!" trait.

The Tick definitely needs perplex, because he is quite perplexing. However, I think that you should also flip a coin when you use the perplex - Heads it does what you want, Tails it does the opposite of what you want. Things often backfire on The Tick.

I'm pretty much the Apotheosis of cool down here.


Oh and to the OP: R Vulture from IC

IF you have to have newer dial for Arthur, R Falcon from Sinister is the best I can find. He'd be better with Combat Reflexes ("Not in the face") than ES/D, but it's an OK dial. I'd honestly stick with Vulture, though. Low number throughout and no powers other than flight captures Arthur perfectly - he almost never accomplished anything on purpose.
For the Tick, I'd go with Luke Cage from Captain America. Rename his defense SP "Who threw that bus?!" The only thing the dial is missing is L/C.
American Maid I'm not really sure - some L/C, a short range for her stilettos, and middle of the road combat values. Maybe a little Outwit.
Fast Forces Rorschach would be a pretty good Sewer Urchin. Poison (He's stinking on Purpose") and EW both represent his odor well. Perplex would really work on any of the Tick character dials, and the Stealth is covered by traveling in the sewers.
Die Fledermaus just needs one special power - Stealth. That paired with a high speed value pretty much sums him up. Web of Spiderman "The Burglar LE" actually captures him pretty well - the only time he was really willing to fight was when he thought the opponent was a complete pushover. The Running Shot at the end isn't really justified, but whatever.

That was the first one I thought of for Arthur, too!

Do you think the Eel from the Captain America set would be too powerful for Sewer Urchin?
I love that piece for the sheer fun of playing it on my Maggia team, and it's only 64 points.

Sewer Urchin: Ocean Master. Useless out of water, amazing in it.
Tick: Green Scar. Maybe War Hulk. Ramping Hulk. Anything like that.
Arthur: Not super familiar with high speed taxis right now, but that's all you need.
American Maid: Diana Prince LE or the Wonder Woman from BATB. Heck, even AE'ing works.
Die Fledermaus: No points? The Hood. Points to spare? Any Batman.
And if you want to toss a villain in? The Crazy Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight: Tabitha Smith.

And how about Joe Fixit from the Hulk set for the Tick. He's "Nigh-Invulnerable"... Ok, he's invulnerable and has toughness. I think Vet She-Hulk from Supernova would be good as well, even though she's a bit pricier.

Y'know, posts like these are what makes a thread like this so much fun to read and participate in!
Nicely done, fellas!

I've been planning on putting the Tick on a Rampaging Hulk dial when I get a modded Tick figure.

I had been thinking Spoiler for Die Fledermaus, but I actually think The Hood is better.

Fantastic!

I'd actually looked at Mr. Fixit for the Tick, as well as She-Hulk. I've played around with a couple of different Caps for American Maid.

Now to just sort through all the great suggestions...

Dynamole = Human Bomb easily

Chairface Chippendale will be pretty boring so probably one of the first Lex Luthor dials.

Dean = One of my favorite henchmen I would put on an Ace dial.

Captain Decency and the Decency Squad...
Captain Decency should be a brute but not too powerful; R Shazam
The Living Doll - For someone that is full of tinier men I think that Hydra Agent fits well enough.
Suffragette - Cannonball dial, probably the AW LE.
Johnny Polite - GSX Angel
The Visual Eye - Anyone with the Ultimates TA is good but they can't be all that powerful. Natasha Romanoff?

I'm currently planning on making a Dinosaur Neil mod if I can get a Giganto the mole monster. Thinking of modding it off of an old godzilla statue.

And to go with him, my all time favorite super villain: The indegestible man (based on Mr. Immortal)
