Who is your Favorite Hero's Sidekick In Fantasy , Science fiction and Horror and Conventional Adventure Stories ?

[BAYLOR]

Spot, the cat from Hong Kong Phooey

Without Spot, Hong Kong Phooey( who is bungler ) would be lost. But he's oblivious to Sopt contributions to his success, or what passes for it.

The Drones in Iain M. Banks's Culture series were also very good sidekicks, with my favourite being the psychotic Skaffen-Amtiskaw from Use of Weapons and Mawhrin-Skel/Flere-Imsaho from The Player of Games.

I'm surprised noone has mentioned DangerMouse and PENFOLD.
I thought they had some real fans here.

Only of the David Jason version

 

[CupofJoe]

Corporal Barnes from the 1951 film The Thing from Another World
He has so many of the best lines and always seems to be one step ahead of the Captain.

Penfold is a hamster.

But Danger Mouse is a err, mouse. Right?

Dent, Arthur Dent.

Yes, but it's a secret.

Hang on. Secret was a squirrel. And his sidekick was a mole, called Morocco.

Be careful it will get you in the neck.

 

[Guttersnipe]

Aahz from Robert Asprin's Myth Adventures series. He was actually forced to be Skeeve's No. 2, more or less, because the spell of a dying wizard left him with no magik (that's how Asprin spells it) to use, so he relies somewhat on Skeeve. Then again, Skeeve could be considered the sidekick because Aahz does a lot of plotting too and poses a physical threat that Skeeve doesn't have. It could go both ways. They're both good characters in my book.

Good grief, that brings back memories. Was it in Whizzer and Chips, or Warlord, or Hotspur?

I am particularly fond of the first robin, Dick Grayson. That is because of the original teen titans cartoon I used to watch as a child. I liked the way he was described there, driven, intelligent, sarcastic. But also obsessed with taking down villains and lying to his friends, being compared to the major baddie, Slade. I sometimes read fanfiction of that cartoon, and it's been 17 years since I've first seen it. You can say I'm a bit obsessed with Robin too.

Indiana Jones' dad. I like Harrison Ford, but Sean Connery stole the movie.

It was alot of fun watching both Ford and Connery together on screen.

It was alot of fun watching both Ford and Connery tother on screen.

I agree, but what (to me at least) is incredible is that they are only 12 years difference in age. Judging by the film you would have guessed at least twice - if not three times - that amount.

Yes by Sean Connery was very convincing in the the role or elderly Dr Henry Jones Sr

One of the funniest moments of the movie for me was the 'she talks in her sleep' conversation with Snr saying " I'm as human as the next man" and Indy replying "I was the next man". Brilliant and very funny.
