20 Worst Ever Comic Book Sidekicks

19. Kid Devil (Blue Devil)

First Appearance: Blue Devil #14 (July 1985) What do you mean you haven't heard of Blue Devil? Oh, ok. If you don't know DC's demonic Hollywood stuntman, then you haven't got a chance in hell of knowing Kid Devil. Trust me though guys, he's even worse. As a devoted fan (and possibly his only one), Eddie Bloomberg dreamed of one day becoming Blue Devil's sidekick and eventually built a battle suit (as all kids do) in order to achieve his dream. This disturbing fixation escalated to another level when Bloomberg decided to power up further by cutting a deal with an actual demon called Neron... just to be more like his idol. It's a good thing Neron isn't on speed dial in the real world or we'd be overrun with a billion super-powered Justin Bieber wannabes. Personally, if I was going to make a deal with a demon, it sure as hell wouldn't be just to become a better sidekick to a hero no one's even heard of. Missed opportunity Bloomberg... and that's why you're lame.
