The problem with sidekicks in SotM is that they're hard to do from a game perspective. As a sidekick, they should logically be weaker than the regular heros, but that makes them less desirable as a playable character. If you add them in as a second character card for the hero (like the Sentinels), then you have a card which probably has less health and is less useful the the main hero, and you get a problem like with Spite where it's not stragically sound to try and keep the sidekick alive.
This is a world discussion so game balance is not what this is about.
I was talking for more in general
I hear Setback's Sidekick has frequent trouble with balance.
The dreamer if she gains control of her powers could become visionary,s sidekick
I would think that Guise's sidekick would be called Meta Lad or Sidekick Boy, and would probably die every issue and replaced next time without any mention of it again.
So would that mean Guise's sidekick wears a red shirt then?
Whoa. That would be… kinda trippy. Like, Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special trippy.
Fanatic needs a sidekick who rides a BMX stunt bike! (Ref: Angel Summoner & BMX Bandit)
Seriously though: I could see Fanatic having a squire-like sidekick who cares for her armor and keeps candles lit in her sanctuary
Also, I've always kind of thought of Unity as being Tachyon's sidekick.
Only from Tachyon's point of view if either of them have that opinion, Unity, from what I can tell, seems to consider Tachyon the big sister she never had.
Dude. You are not my sidekick.
I hope that sidekick's beefy, because her armor weighs 100 pounds.
POWER: Pop a wheelie
Fanatic’s player just summons some angels. Next time, you can use your BMX skills, I promise!
I guess it would depend on what you mean by a sidekick.
If you simply want someone who admires the hero or helps from afar then that's one thing. For example, if memory serves Expat was a Bounty Hunter for a while (from her Bio I think) so she could logically have a younger individual running databases and grabbing files for her back at the home base (where would Expat stay actually?)
However, if you want someone to fight beside the hero... I doubt anyone would last long. The sentinels heroes seem to be more of the type to tell the kids to go home because it is too dangerous. Exceptions being Unity, Young Legacy and The Idealist because they are simply too powerful to actual stop them from tagging along if they choose to do so.
I just don't see many of them having the patience or disregard for allowing signifigantly weaker individuals to enter a battlefield with Spite, Gloomweaver, Apostate, Grand Warlord Voss, ect.
