8. How did the Tick get assigned to the place where he worked?

Answer: It was awarded to him at a convention

The National Super Institute Convention, held in Reno, Nevada, is shown in the very first episode, "The Tick vs. the Idea Men". The Tick manages to blow up a device called the Cabinet of Terror, but survives, thus impressing the judges at the event.

Answer: Doctor Strangepants

The name derives from the classic film "Dr. Strangelove", which starred Peter Sellers. Strangepants was called in to lasso Dinosaur Neil during Neil's brief foray into evil. It didn't work. Later, he tried to keep ants from swarming over the town, by waving a giant chocolate bar over them. In both cases, it was the Tick who eventually saved the day. However, it never hurts to try.

10. In the season two episode, "Evil Sits Down for a Moment", what villain had the power to control furniture?

Answer: The Ottoman

He wanted to join forces with the character Die Fledermaus to take over the world. After all, who doesn't use furniture? The scheme did not succeed, however. Die Fledermaus was a superhero who sometimes worked with the Tick, and he chose to stick to his roots of goodness.
