In the animated series, Mayor Tilton is loosely based off his film counterpart. He's portrayed as an egotistical and corrupt politician who is obsessed with keeping Edge City "fluffy" and constantly uses the city's budget for elaborate celebrations like parades and statues of himself. Though not evident in season one, season two reveals that Mayor Tilton is corrupt. In Flight as a Feather, it is revealed that Mayor Tilton once dated an exotic dancer named Cookie BaBoom, who crashes his Bavariaville ceremony and threatens to blow herself and the Mayor (to whom she refers as "Mortimer") with two megatons worth of dynamite strapped to her body (which The Mask strips off and makes into a cocktail).
