10 Marvel Pets You Wish You Could Adopt

[I goofed, it's Tippy-Toe with no S, could you change the title for me? Thank you!)

When you think of sidekicks, you probably think of Jimmy Olsen, one of the Robins or even Bucky Barnes, Yet, while they're all good in their own ways, none of them can hold a candle to the greatest sidekick in comic book history.

That's right, I'm talking about Tippy-Toe, Doreen Green's partner in (stopping) crime!

Squirrel Girl has a great relationship with all the squirrels she knows, but there's just something about Tippy-Toe that she (and the readers) can't let get away.

Sadly, Doreen and Tippy-Toe's pairing spawned from tragedy. SG's original partner, Monkey Joe, was murdered by Leather Boy. Then, when she recruited an army of squirrels to help the Great Lakes Avengers, they were all killed... Except one, who became her new sidekick.

The two have had quite the journey considering their lack of actual superpowers. Together they've taken on M.O.D.O.K, Thanos, Galactus and for a short while, the regular little squirrel gained the Power Cosmic.

Fifteen years since her first appearance, Tippy-Toe is still kicking butt and scratching faces in the name of justice.
