The live action and cartoon were totally different. I loved the comic book (the original Tick!). I wasn't OMG over the cartoon. The live action really struck me as funny though, especially the 'Justice League' one.

I only know the cartoon, but I enjoyed it very much.

I`m going to be Intelligent Evil Overlord (TM) so I`ll kick the dog (traditional) after I have killed all the others and deal with the time traveler saying: "I have seen my wicked ways and that I surrender. Here, have the keys to my Harem go and free all those poor nubile women that I forced to be my slaves against their will (not true, I prefer WILLING slaves less trouble when you are asleep but heroes are suckers for the unwilling word) while I comit suicide to atone for my sins on the other room" If the younger hero falls for it by the time their are finished with him he`ll be an empty husk

@Miguel - you know, there is a Lobo comic based around that very premise.

I guess i dont remember much of the cartoon specifically. I just know i bought the live action episodes on DVD and still love them.

Well, to be fair, Die Fledermaus was also his name in the comic, which is my main bias against them changing any of the names in the live action.

I would leave everyone in power and take over St. John Island in the Carribean, and live out the rest of my days having sex with beautiful women and eating food cooked by the best chefs brought from all over the world.

I would:

DEPLOY THE RATACHUTES!!!

Don`t know I can´t remember reading Lobo comics, not my piece of cake.

Salt? You're kidding, right?

I hate salt!!!

First I'd declare war on the ocean, like that one Roman Emperor, Calligula I think his name was.

I'd change my name to Tiberius.

I'd make Turtle Pie the national food.

Take everyone I dislike, put them on an island, and nuke it or something like that. Wheee!

After that, I'd probably clone myself or something.

I would take the Turtle Pie guys and the Pie Hat3rs and put them on opposite hemispheres, that way I hae a peaceful (but oppressed) empire

Nah, more like "payback with interest".

I would run a benevolent autocracy with a parliament below me for the plebs to blame when things go wrong.

Parliament do not control my finances.

If they get out of line my secret police will kill them.

I’m too old for three chicks at the same time, so instead I present a three point programme of public policy reform:

1. Every day to be the first day of spring.
2. A new song for every heart.
3. Every man to be as free as a bird, BY ORDER.

...I'd make world a better place by making people in rich countries understand that doomsday is coming up any hundred years now if nothing is done about the global warming etc.

- Or hire alot of experts that know their stuff.

I would make it illegal for anybody except me to own choclate!I will shoot you if you so much as look at that Mars bar!

But as an Evil Overlord you are supposed to. So to best all the boasting in this thread I´m going to say that I would arrange for 10 chicks at the same time.... but being wiser I think I would prefer to tell them to get started without me and then play with my Evil Computer AI(TM) chess and go to bed when they are already sleeping .

I'd first make a law that said all laws must comply with the second law. Then the second law would make it illegal to make any act that cannot be directly (or indirectly) tied to harm of any non-consensual individual.
Want to grow, sell or do drugs? Go right ahead, as long as you only mess yourself up.
Want a hooker? Go ahead, it's your wanger that's going to burn when you pee, not mine.
Don't want to wear a seatbelt? Go ahead, it's not my ass flying through your windshield when/if you crash.
etc, etc, etc..
Don't want to go to school? Don't.. I just hope you like flipping burgers.

Next I'll teach the world the concept of war again by kicking France's ass for no better reason than making me look bad for being the crass, unsophisticated jerkhole I am. And after I've stomped the hell out of their infrastructure and made all the other nations hate me, I'd leave and never so much as offer them a dime in foreign aid and if any country said anything about it I'd say, "what, you want to be next?" The UN and the US must be reminded that war is mean and you can't have a "nice" war....

No-one, the same as last time it was on TV. Which is why it was cancelled in the first place.
