Running Guy	Has the speed of ten really fast men
Crazy Blue Rocket (formerly Blue Rocket)	Flies (erratically)	Formerly a great superhero, he went insane after his sidekick’s death. However, because of his detached mental state, he believes that he is in his glory days and that his sidekick is still alive. He flies into a fit of psychosis when this illusion is challenged. Often talks to himself and the jar of Johnny Wingless, which he uses to explain his plans. Because of his mental state, his plans, such as sticking honey covered tongue depressors to himself and pretending to be a tree to stop Dire Wreath’s rampage, are not very plausible. He has a very worn appearance: his costume is torn, and one lens on his goggles is broken. He is also constantly salivating. He is one of the few heroes whom even the Tick recognizes as insane.
Johnny Wingless		The former sidekick of Crazy Blue Rocket and now a detached tongue in a jar—all that remains of Johnny after a rocketing accident

And he says, "I can't, baby, 'cause you're not!"), others suggesting a bad end between the two ("And so he says, "I don't like the cut of your jib!"

Handy apparently has an affinity for encouraging people to read literature rather than watch television; his catchphrase, fittingly, is therefore "Read a book!" Handy is a parody of Batman villain Scarface.	Maurice LaMarche

The Mother of Invention	Super intelligence	An androgynous man dressed as a stereotypical mother who creates a time helmet to steal the credit for every invention ever made by kidnapping Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Johannes Gutenberg, George Washington Carver, and a cavewoman named Wheel, who allegedly invented the wheel. He would then completely eradicate the past and re-invent the inventions in the future	Paul Williams
Multiple Santa	Being shocked by high-voltage currents creates electric clones of him	He was a criminal who was "granted" his power after stealing a charity worker's Santa Claus suit in an attempt to escape from the police and being accidentally chased off the roof of a building and into a large electric billboard by the Tick (who initially believed the criminal was really Santa).

Although Tick doesn't really consider Omnipotus himself evil, he does consider eating planets (especially Earth) an evil act, according to the book "Mighty Blue Justice!". He has oddly small feet for his size. After Tick convinced him not to eat Earth, he did end up taking a large bite out of the Moon, which remained in that state for the rest of the series' run.

Proto-Clown	Superhuman strength	The product of genetic engineering by a clowning engineer named Bud Frontier in his attempt to make a super-clown with the capacity to amuse and entertain more people than a normal clown. He hates being laughed at, however, and if he is laughed at, it usually results in him going on a destructive, violent rampage. Loosely based on the Incredible Hulk.	Kevin Schon
Sheila Eel	A female villain that wears an electric eel as a garment	She once shocked the Guy With Ears Like Little Raisins when he got too close. Her name is a reference to the singer Sheila E.	N/A (silent character)
Stalingrad	Encyclopedic knowledge of Stalin (?)	A graduate student who looks like and bases his villainy on the work of Joseph Stalin.

Uncle Creamy	Being made of ice cream, he can shoot ice cream from his hands, forming it into the shapes he wants, and is very difficult to hurt physically	A result of an industrial accident. Spoof of Clayface and Sandman. May not be a villain at heart as he once quoted "I'm not a villain, I'm vanilla".	Bobcat Goldthwait
Uncle Creamy II	He can fly with his rocket boots and has a missile launcher on his left arm	A former KGB agent. Spoof of the many Clayfaces	Kevin Schon

After Cat-Man-Dude was arrested for the mauling outside of the YMCA while claiming that Mangler set him up, his revealing of his identity at the suggestion of the District Attorney and the Terror's minions killing his "puma wife and litter of child-kittens" caused the government to do the 28th Amendment that was nicknamed "Murphy's Law" which prevents the law enforcement from revealing the personal information of all superheroes.
