Just finished Bendis's End of Days run for Dare Daveil (absolutely fantastic btw), and the idea of Murdock training a replacement is a fascinating one. It's not entirely within the "sidekick" definition, but I think the implicit undertone (that you touch in your chat) is that the sidekick is meant to one day replace the hero. If you think about it, there's an unspoken fatalism to even the idea of a sidekick. Personally, the sidekick as almost an admission of a suicidal tendency is fascinating to me and one of the most compelling aspects of the sidekick.

As for best sidekick ever question? Lockheed all the way. He's just too cute.
