The Asidekick is a new labour hire service, specialising in the provision of annoying, snivelling little snots who aren't brave enough to be superheroes but wet their Y-fronts at the opportunity to tag along with a real superhero and make snide comments after the foe is vanquished or while onlookers gawp in shocked wonder at the antics of the superheroes before them.

Sure, there seem to have been such sidekicks in popular media before this but they always proved to be real heroes partially overshadowed by the superhero, whose bacon they usually save.

These characters are not so blessed with redeeming features... they're just annoying parasites with smart mouths. Think of them as the smartarsed barnacles on the underbelly of the ship of life. Hire 'em cheap, before they get popular!

       *Yellow* pages is very appropriate.

       There's a real and serious organisation called the "World Superhero Registry". Maybe they'd be interested in helping set this up. It'd be a great job creation scheme.

       Out of work jockeys would definitely benefit from it.

       For a broader product range, the same agency could supply assistants for Detectives (police or private), with a useful skill (a la Dr Watson) but a stunning lack of deductive skill. [+]

       Detectives usually believe they are some sort of superhero, I've found.
