In the animated tv series _The Tick_, in an episode entitled "Heroes," a supervillian calling himself the Deadly Bulb appeared. He was originally called Pigleg, for the good and sufficient reason that one of his legs terminated in a pig, rather than a foot, but he wanted an image change. As the Deadly Bulb, one of his gimmicks was *blinding* flashes of light. And of course, you all remember the name of the catacrest Silk is offered before he buys Oreb in _Nightside the Long Sun_: Tick!
