It’s frustrating that so many great sidekicks get overlooked. Take Bob, Agent of Hydra, for example – fans really liked him, but he hasn’t been a major character in ages. Or Alpha, Spider-Man’s former partner who seemed poised to become his sidekick like Robin is to Batman. It’s not just that there aren’t many sidekicks, it’s that Marvel has let so many potentially great ones fade into obscurity. If you’re interested in learning about these forgotten heroes and giving them some recognition, keep reading!

Similar to the first movie, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie features familiar power-ups from the Mario games at just the right times, and even includes a few unexpected ones for fans.

Wow, Season 2 of Paradise just wrapped up, and it’s definitely got people talking – some aren’t thrilled with the direction it took.

He’s a flexible fighter, able to quickly and efficiently defeat enemies at both close and long range, and works particularly well alongside other Viltrumites.
