alga, This can't be coincidence! 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!
