'Twas reading Wizard Magazine, and there was a contest about who could come up with the lamest sidekick. Style points are added for useless powers and bad costumes, so, get creative. The winner would get their creation drawn in a (I believe) Paul Jenkins book. So, I thought it would be an interesting thread to make in order to see what you guys thought about it. Don't know if I'm actually going to enter, but if you wanted to: www.wizarduniverse.com

My I idea was called the Chessmaster.

As far as his own physical attributes, picture a fat Neil Goldman from Family Guy.

His costume would be a checkered onesy thats meant to look like a chess board, with Shakespearean ruffles around his neck, wrists, and ankles. He'd have pointy elf boots as well. Over his head there would be a gray castle tower thats a few feet tall, and there'd be a cut-out where the door would be, and thats where his head pokes out.

His powers are that he can beat anyone at chess, and he knows every possible outcome to a chess game, which is worthless for a sidekick to have, obviously.



So yeah, have fun with it.
 
What the f'ck was Buck Roger's sidekick "Twikki" suppose to do besides carry that computer on his chest?

Did he have any function besides his clever quips at the end of the episode?

We should all contribute to one and enter it as the Superhero Hype entry :up:


Thats actually not a bad idea...though I'm not too sure about when the contest ends, I just thought it would make for an interesting thread.

Well, it's not the name or the concept behind the sidekick that makes him lame, but rather the execution of said sidekick. In theory, Robin is a pretty lame sidekick. He's named after a harmless bird and wears a bright yellow cape and a speedo.

So... we have the typical teen sidekick to start with, domino mask and all. We go with any generic name, doesn't matter. Plays on Robin's name are overdone, for sure. And we don't exactly know what kind of a hero he's a sidekick to (this is very important in creating sidekicks). So we'll skip the naming process for now.

This kid's qualifications? Nothing. He has no combat skill. No acrobatic training. None of that. Why's he here? Because he stumbled upon his uncle's secret identity and whined and pestered about being his sidekick until the uncle finally relented and agreed.

Naturally, this kid is a total liability. Our hero has to spend more time rescuing his sidekick than saving the day, stopping the bad guys, etc. etc. And our hero can't ditch this kid because if he does, the kid's gonna spill the beans about his secret identity to everyone. And the kid doesn't want to practice combat skills because it's "boring". And no matter what our hero does, he can't get rid of this kid.

Or course, a schtick like this can only last so long, but there you have it, the beginnings of the worst sidekick ever.

What else did Twiki do besides carry the Dr. around!?! :cmad:
 
You guys couldn't create a sidekick of your own if your lives depended on it, could you? ;)
 
Godzooky. How the (bleep! ) does Godzilla get a nephew and why would he need one?:cmad:
