"Gleek" was the monkey side-kick of Super Friends' side-kicks Zan and Jayna, the Wonder Twins. "Blip" was the monkey side-kick of Space Ghost's sidekicks Jan and Jace. :banana:

I'm having a hard time just deciding which monkey side-kick of a teenage pair of side-kicks is worse. :banana:

As a child (and even now as a man-child) this made me so mad. Even then I realized they swapped out Torch for Herbie because of the fear of kids dousing themselves in gasoline and flaming on but COME ON. All this did was make me wanna douse the TV executives in gasoline and light them on fire. FLAME ON!:banana:

The problem was is they replaced the Human Torch with the wrong Herbie. Had it been Herbie, the Fat Fury that would have been beautiful! Fantastic Four & Fat Fury! Perfect!

I just purchased Plastic Man #49 and was getting ready to post it in the This Week in my Collection thread when I ran across the Most Unpopular Super Hero thread in the Golden Age forum. That inspired me to start this thread. My nomination has to be Plastic Man's sidekick, Woozy Winks. His image has runied so many great Plastic Man covers! I was able to ignore it enough on this particular cover to still make the purchase. If you replace his image with a hot chick laying on the mad scientist's table this comic instantly turns into a comic that sells for way, way more. Am I right? Please post your candidate for the title of Worst Sidekick. Good luck beating Woozy!

I think Robin wins it hands down. Wearing the worst costume ever Robin was so despised that DC Comics gave readers the opportunity to call a 800 number and vote whether to kill him or not. Of course he was killed.

Which one?hm

Is THAT what it was? Wow. 

I think that each of these sidekicks served a different purpose. 

I mean, Doiby Dickles? Woozy Winks? These were just comedy relief and plot devices to always give the hero someone to save. It wore thin after a while. 

With Batman and Robin, Robin was always in trouble but eventually grew into his own, independent character...after being a damsel in distress for all those decades. lol

Robin is the worst.

Batman went from breaking necks to questionable antics.
