"So son what do you want to be when you grow up?" Todd Newton asks his son. "A superhero just like The Fist!" John Newton says smiling at the exciting thought of being a superhero. "Well son you know there are other heroes out there besides The Fist,heck there is one sitting in front of you." Todd says to his son.

In 20 years later in 1985 five years before the collapse of the Soviet Union John Newton became an employee at the CIA as a janitor to follow the promise he made to his mom but mainly because he really likes the suits. A CIA agent comes to get coffee and he accidentally left the door open and so because he wanted to do his job he decided to enter to room so he can clean it. When he enters the room he sees a metallic brief case with a blue suit and 2 antennas. He remembers how much he wanted to be a superhero when he was a kid just like The Fist and says "Neat!".

He puts on the suit and because of this unexpectedly he becomes all buff and beefy. John Newton is amazed and says "John Newton is no more and from now on I am The Tick!" he runs out the room making a hole in the wall that is in the shape of him. The CIA agent comes back with a cup of coffee and sees the hole in the wall and says "Ah shit.".
