Flik's Fun Fair[]
Flik constructed the amusement park for bugs, "Flik's Fun Fair" in California nearby Route 66. Flik invented a, "Flyer" machine as one of the attractions for this amusement park.[1] The fair may have been witnessed and studied by entomologists.[2]
It's Tough to Be a Bug![]
Flik arranged a stage show called "It's Tough to be a Bug!" in the Tree of Life Theater below the Tree of Life on Discovery Island. The point of this show was to encourage humans a better perception of bugs for better inter-species relations, including shrinking them down and giving them honorary bug eyes to watch the show. The show hired various different performers from across the bug world including: Chili the deadly Chilean Tarantula, Weevil Kneevil, The Termite-ator, The Dung Brothers and Claire de Room.
Various issues arose during Flik's show, including Chili firing venomous quills at Weevil Kneevil and into the audience, Weevil not doing his act, and the Termite-ator's acid burning through parts of the set and into someone's head. The show was interrupted by Hopper, who then tried attacking the guests alongside his various henchmen, before being attacked by a lizard. After this, Flik regained control of the show and had a big finale.
Later history[]
At some point, Flik's Fun Fair was discovered by super-hero Scott Lang AKA Ant Man who put the fair in a Pym Tech terrarium for safe-keeping in Avengers Campus near Orange, California.
