Sidekick(s)

Quote of the week : "I'm not Batman. I have friends." Tim Drake (Robin III)

Comic book sidekicks have a long and popular history, dating back to the beginnings of the form. In 1940 DC Comics introduced comics' first teenage sidekick, Robin the Boy Wonder, created to soften the dark tone of the Batman comics. After this one, a lot of other ones followed him. Nowadays every Superhero has his sidekick, but too much is too much and that's why ......

WORST FIVE (our opinion)

5. WAR MACHINE / IRON PATRIOT

Most sidekicks possess similar abilities to their partners, but War Machine literally IS Iron Man , except the fact that he's black and not a genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. James Rhodes puts on the armor exactly like Tony Stark. Rhodes isn’t the most embarrassing sidekick you’ll ever meet, but something about his character just screams RIP-OFF! At least he probably got to party on Tony Stark's dime all the time.

4. ROBINs

As said earlier, too much is too much. Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, Damian Wayne, Carrie Kelley, Robin John Blake ... ENOUGH. The only one that turned out to be acceptable left his mentor to become Nightwing. The other ones were barely worth it. It's also kind of ridiculous to be a superhero that wears all black with a sidekick that wears really bright colors. Robin was basically a cheerful, walking target.

3. AQUALAD

Aquaman is one of the lamest superheroes in comic book history. Eveen the Wonder Twins think Aquaman is a joke. That's why it's pretty hard not to be lame when you're sidekicking for Aquaman and also when your name has LAD in it. Highschool must have been really tough for him.

2. LEGION OF SUPER-PETS

As we thought we were done with shitty sidekicks, comic book writers decided to add stupid SuperAnimals. Superman also had to put up with the Legion of Super-Pets, who consisted of Krypto the Super Dog, Streaky the Super Cat, Comet the Super Horse and Beppo the Super Monkey.

1. KEVIN

He's our sidekick, our victim. We make him suffer for every adventure we have him going through and he doesn't even complain. He's the worst of the worst and that's why he's the best and we love him

Hall Of Lame :

Hairball

Ace The Bat-Hound

Dawn Greenwood

D-Man

Ebony White

Fatman

Our opinion on the subject : One hates, one pratices and the last one doesn't give a fuck.

AQUAPONEY, FIRELOUKOUM, AVERAGEM8

Kevin tried to explain a joke, and this is what happened (RIP Art. 1)
