	There was also a Saturday morning cartoon version in which Miss
Liberty was American Maid, Batmanual was Der Fleidermaus, and The Moth was
Arthur.  In addition to her brains and superstrength, American Maid also
made the best darn canapes in the state.  One of the features of the
superhero-rich world was the superhero draft:  Superheros registered with a
national organization and were assigned to cities that needed them rather
than almost every super concentrating in New York City or its equivalents.
Fun stuff.

It takes place in a world in whch superheroes are common.  The Tick, a huge
blue guy with a brain the size of a walnut, hangs out with Batmanuel and a
cheesecakey Miss Liberty (or somesuch) and has a sidekick named The Moth who
has no superpowers at all, just a wimpy costume and the *desire* to be a
superhero.  It's what you might call a Gentle Spoof, but it *was* fun.
Naturally it was cancelled.  (It was based on a
small/independantly-published comic book.)
