The Swiss

The Swiss

The Swiss are a villainous team from the second season animated series The Tick by Ben Edlund. They were each equipped with giant Swiss Army knives equipped with various spy and paramilitary gear attachments. They are clear on the fact that they were not commissioned by, nor do they represent the government of Switzerland, but were industrial spies who happened to originate in Switzerland.

Plot

The Swiss spied on Carmelita and Arthur for an unknown period of time. They were commissioned by an unknown corporation to steal the Vahtos flying suit that both Arthur and Carmelita possessed, and share their secrets with the group who commissioned them. They run afoul of Die Fledermaus and American Maid while attempting to capture Arthur and Carmelita, but they manage to evade both heroes. They attempt to capture Arthur and Carmelita while they dined publicly at a fancy restaurant. They were defeated by the heroes with the help of the Tick.
