Sidekicks you probably wouldn't want

Dr. Anomaly · May 24, 2005

A few days ago, I created a thread in the Non-Gaming Discussion forum about the "worst sidekicks" you could have. It was just a list of names of improbable (and useless) sidekicks that myself and some friends came up with years ago. I posted it in the NGD because I felt at the time, being a parody (and a bad one at that) it didn't warrant putting in a "gaming" forum.

Well, other people have contributed to the thread since then, and I've also done character write-ups for a few of the mentioned sidekicks and posted them (along with the Hero Designer files) to the thread. Most of those sidekicks you still wouldn't want, and I don't think the thread belongs here, but I finally realized you might get a kick out of seeing it (or reading a few of the ideas or write-ups in it) if you hadn't already. Hence this thread and the link.

Keep in mind, the write-ups are not supposed to be for viable characters, so don't start pointing out "weaknesses" and "flaws" in them -- they're supposed to be that way!

I think Criticism Kid is my favorite write-up I've done for far for these "useless" sidekicks; he's borderline useful, though as has been pointed out by a couple of people -- he probably wouldn't last long.
