Golden Age Sidekicks Sure Had It Rough! (SPOILERS)

[Jmass]

SPOILERS!!!


The first two that came to my mind were Bucky - turned into a Russian assassin and Sandy Hawkins - Turned into a Monster by the Sandman then kept prisoner by Wesley until he is able to break free. Can anyone name others that fit this narrative?

Hahahaha. Sadly, yeah, being a sidekick does not assure you of a happy life.

Okay




STUFF the China Town Kid (Vigilante's sidekick) there were TWO of them and both are dead!


TORO (Torch's (JIm Hammond) sidekick Was buried in a desert for decades and then used by the Mad Thinker.

Betty Kane (the ORIGINAL BAT-GIRL) then "Flamebird" and then she got rebranded again and Honestly you have fifty BATGIRLS running around and you can't find a place for her?????

F**K DC!!!


RICK JONES: SIdekick to Cap, the Hulk and Mar-Vell and each time he left on bad terms. Then he becomes A-BOMB and gets killed and brought back!! ***!!!


(Hiram) "Stretch" Skinner (WIldcat) he just disappeared, he was in SENSATION Comics with Ted and after that no modern day reappearance!!



PROTY and PROTY II: The first one sacrificed his life for Lightning Lad and the 2nd one had to A) Prove himself to the legion of super pets, B) Petition the United Planets for recognizing the Proteans as an intelligent race, instead of being "PETS".

DAN REID: (Lone Ranger)'s Nephew, his parents are killed, he goes to school becomes a newspaper publisher and fathers; Britt Reid!! Isn't that enough??????


KID MIRACLEMAN (Johnny Bates) Don't even ask, see MM # 15 first run. UGH! That alone is enough to start drinking and drugging!!




BAT-MITE: OH HELL NO!!! Time for bed!!! Good Night!!! I am sure I can go on for hours on this subject.
