10 of my favorite Sidekicks (mine)

Another one of my "favorite" posts. :D

These were difficult choices, because I have so many characters.

#1
Johnathon Dulzer
From: Justice Begins
Groups he was in: Johnny's Team, Green Team, and Justice Heroes
Secret identity: The Mask
Scene: “Johnathon Dulzer!” that particular young man's mother screamed, as her nine year old son flew past dragging the cat by its tail, the remainder of the drapes still clenched in its claws. He was sneezing. The boy not the cat. Johnny Dulzer was allergic to cats, but he brought so many strays home, that his mother decided to get a permanent cat, so he would stop bringing home new ones. The boy insisted on playing with the cat, even though it made his face get all puffy, and gave him a violent attack of sneezing and coughing.

#2
Devin Foresight
From: Justice Heroes Series
Groups he was in: Johnny's Team, Green Team, Foresight Clan, SS, and more.
Secret identity: Flipper
Scene: Devin caught the ladder, while still hanging onto the panicked Alan. But he didn't have to climb, the rope was lifting off the ground. By the time they reached the dead end the end of the rope ladder was eye level with Johnny.
“Help us down!” Devin yelled as the ladder floated higher.
“Cool the ladder is attached to a hot air balloon.” Johnny said.
“Pull us down!” Devin yelled. Johnny leaped up and caught Devin's leg.
“I must have unhooked the ladder.” he said apologetically, “It was probably holding the balloon down.”
“Pull us down!” Devin yelled again, “And let go of my foot.” Johnny looked down.
“Um- to late.” he said. The roof was dropping away alarmingly and the sky was approaching.
“There are at least seventeen ways this could have gone better. Literally. Like I'm counting them now, you moron.” Devin yelled.
“Only seventeen? I can think of a hundred ways.” Alan wailed.
“What's more cool then floating above the Government Base on a hot air balloon?” Johnny yelled as he tightened his grip on Devin's legs.
“Climb up the ladder, please!” Alan wailed, “Or we'll fall and get killed.”
“I can't climb the ladder!” Devin yelled, “I'm hanging onto you!”
~The Green Hero

#3
Angus Crutthers
From: Planet Moldrin Series
Groups he was in: Madison Volunteers, Moldrin Outcasts
Nickname: Scarface
Scene: “No problem, I'll go first!” Angus said, he staggered to his feet and pulled a flare gun out of his belt. Both Jane and Lewis gasped. Where did he get that? Jane thought in amazement. Barnum rolled his eyes and mumbled,
“Here we go again!”
“How did that fit in your belt?” Lewis gasped. Angus grinned and put one foot on the metal ladder which was nailed to the cement, which made up the walls of the hole. He pulled the trigger and a blue light shot out of the gun. The two orange guys jumped, but made no move to take it from Angus. 
“Hurry!” the flat voice whispered, “He is waiting?” 
~Rise of the New World

#4
Caleb Dagonet
From: Pendragon Saga
Groups he was in: Merlin's School, Camelot Squires
Scene: “That is all there is.” he said in disappointment, “We need the Legend of the Crystal manuscript.” 
“We could not find it.” Tristion admitted reluctantly as he helped pull Caleb's sack into the courthouse. 
“What in Royaume is that?” Madame Bleoboris squawked, as she eyed the sack. 
“Ask him!” Peter said icily as he pointed at Caleb. 
“A few things that l-looked like th-they might b-be useful!” Caleb stuttered, his face turning red. 
“Where did you get that chain mail?” Lydia Kay asked. 
“The-the museum!” Caleb stuttered proudly.
~The Pendragon Heir

#5
Philip
From: "Prince Charming Diaries volume 2: The Third World
Groups he was in: Royal Family of Kildimere, Kildimere Rebels
Secret identity: Light
Scene: “Stop making excuses!” I said through gritted teeth, “It annoys me. But I do see your point. You would be a rather scummy person if you were able to help those wretches and stood back and did nothing.” I sighed.
“Well thank you!” Philip muttered.
“For what?” I asked.
“For hinting that I was not a scummy person.” Philip said. I shrugged.
“Well, lets help some unhappy people then.” I said.
~Diary of a Hunter Prince

#6
Pandleton Pandleton
From: Arena Chronciles
Groups he was in: Arena Dragons, Group Behind the Wall
Nickname: Pan
Scene: I sighed. Better to leave him alone to hide in my cubical, then let everyone know he was a coward like Pan Pandleton. Being the grandson of the Chief Pandleton did not save him from the taunts and sneers of his comrades.
~Apprentice Gladiators

#7
Joseph Doolittle
From: The Night Thief
Nickname: Joey
Scene: “Normal people don't have a basement full of weapons.” the detective was saying on the TV. Rose glanced up, and rolled her eyes, then continued staring at the album.
“I will have you know that every single one of those weapons saved my life at least once!” a familiar voice said. Rose jerked her head upwards. Joey Doolittle was on TV. 
“Saved your life?” the detective sneered, “What did you do? Run in a gang?” 
“Only with a gang of Wolves!” Joey smirked. Rose bit back a laugh, at the confused look on the detective's face.
“What did that gun save you from?” an inspector asked as he pointed to a glistening black hand gun. 
“Oh that.” Joey said coolly, “Its just for decoration.” Rose shook her head and looked down at the album again. 
~The Night Thief

#8
Lake Pandelton
From: Pandleton Giant-Slayer Crew
Groups he was in: Giant Slayers of Outer Space, Group behind the wall
Scene: “Don't attempt at witticism Thrack!” Lack said coolly. Thrack laid aside his manacles, then he shot is companion a dirty look. 
“Listen brother,” he snarled, “All you do is sit around and chatter, you never use your muscle to make something happen! You need to do something! Not sit around and chat!” 
“It was your doing something that go us in this mess, and my chatter that kept us alive!” Lake said his face reddening in anger. 
~Giant-Slayers of Outer Space

#9
James Cowin
From: Thunder in the Academy
Groups he was in: Herbermiester's Academy for the Gifted, Justice Heroes, The Storm, Venusians of Earth
Secret identity: Shadow Man
Scene:  “You know for someone who died on mars seventeen years ago, you certainly are very much alive!” James said without even looking up. 
“I was never on Mars before in my life!” Frederick cried. 
“Whoa, you were on Mars?” Missy gasped, “That is so freakin' cool!”
“His dad and mom were interviewing Captain Justice!” James said as he pointed a the book, “Unless of course there just happens to be two Frederick Dulzers the same age.” Agnes picked up the book and found the picture.
~Thunder in the Academy

#10
George O'Dell
From: "Blue's Song"
Groups he was in: O'Dell Family Clan, Knights of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Nickname: Georgie
Scene: “Hey, you okay?” George asked suddenly, “You didn't hurt yourself when you tripped?” Blue blushed.
“Only my pride.” she admitted. George flung back his head and howled with laughter.
“Everyone does that.” he said, “Even me. I nearly squashed the principal with a ladder, a while back.” he shook his head, “Nothing to do about it, except ask forgiveness. Except in your case, you did nothing wrong.”
~Blue's Song

I have a lot more favorites, but these were the ten I thought of first.
