Top Ten Sidekicks (good)

10. Kato
To: The Green Hornet
When the Sidekick is the legend (Bruce Lee), he deserves to be on the list.
9. Bucky
To: Captain America
A cute and nice kid sidekick, who really came into his own in modern comics.
8. Gabrielle
To: Xena
Cute girl to the tough chick, worked perfectly in the show. Was as important as Xena to the Show.
7. Tonto
To: The Lone Ranger
Like his friend, this friendly Indian has become an iconic part of out pop culture.
6. Ron Weasley
To: Harry Potter
Best friend to Mr. Potter, generally comic relief, he is loyal, and feel any danger for his friend.
5. Luigi
To: Mario
Being the brother to the famous brother, hasn't deterred this under-study to jump higher, yell louder, and become a star in his own right.
4. Porky Pig
To: Daffy Duck
A star as big Daffy Duck. He is at his best as an everyman, and sidekick. And as a sidekick he best at helping and cordinating Duck Dodgers.
3. Samwise Gamgee
To: Frodo Baggins
The true hero of the LOTRs Saga. Pretty much carries Frodo's ass through most of the story. And as Frodo said, "Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam."
2. Dr. John C. Watson
To: Sherlock Holmes
A smart guy playing dumb, asks the right questions, does the right things, and justs lurks in the background to let Sherlock's genius and ego do its job.
1. Robin
To: Batman
Contrast to his boss, Robin is young, colorful, and energetic. But much like his boss he has become a simble. Several have taken on the costume, and one even died. This comical sidekick has become a serious part of comic book lore.

Notables: Dynomutt (The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour) , Lago (Aladdin), Ebony White (The Spirit)
