curgoth

You all know the deal by now.

Comment and I'll give you a topic for either a top five or a top ten.

corwin77 gave me; Top Five sidekicks.

Robin The Boy Hostage, providing morally and ethically ambiguous underaged support to Batman for decades. I'd quote Burt Ward's version here, but I think I would cry if I did.

Kato, specifically the TV version played by Bruce Lee. The competant one of the duo, who does all of the Green Hornet's work for him.

Arthur. The Tick's backup. "Hi, I'm Arthur and this is my distraction!"

Pinky. "NARF!"

GIR "Aw, I wanted to explode..." Most quotable sidekick ever. Also a plus: sends off dangerous waves of stupid.

Oooh, oooh: Speedy! Inaccurately named by the Green Arrow, since he eventually developed a heroin habit.

Later re-incarnated as Arsenal of the Outsiders (who sublimated it into a heroine habit :-)

I was actually going to bring the omission of the tragically heroin addicted Speedy to Curgoth's attention, but you beat me to it!

Check out the top 10 comic characters I did on my LJ :)

Luke Cage!

Luke (catches a bomb and clutches it to his chest): Gonna lose my shirt...
*BOOM* (Luke is untouched except for his clothes)
Spidey: Whoa.
Luke: Unbreakable skin.
Spidey: You need unbreakable pants.
Luke: Yeah, I heard that one before.

They're supposedly making a Luke Cage movie starring Tyrese Gibson. However, the main producer of the film was set to be Wesley Snipes, and his economic future is rather... uncertain.

I regret not including either Plastic Man or Black Adam on my list, but 10 is 10.

My favs

Currently its Kid Devil, but hes a bit too new for anyone to really know, so I guess maybe Stripsey, who happens to get the only adult Sidekick to a teenage superhero.

Re: My favs

Kid Devil is the Blue Devil's sidekick in the post-crisis Titans, right?
