First Appearance: Police Comics #13 (November 1942) Back in the 1940's, bumbling idiots were all the rage in the world of sidekicks but when it comes to both bumbling and idiocy, Woozy Winks is up there with the best. Starting out as a small time criminal, Woozy gained an unusual ability after saving a wizard from drowning. Yes... a wizard. Whenever Woozy was in danger, a spell would kick in that protected him through the forces of nature. Over the years, writers eventually chose to ignore this ability, demoting Woozy to just Plastic Man's personal assistant. Gosh. It's bad enough having a lame name and an even lamer outfit. Couldn't the writers have let him keep the one thing that helped him stand out in a world of pointless sidekicks? Thankfully, modern DC writers have by and large chosen to forget Woozy Winks ever existed and I'm sure Plastic Man is grateful too.
