TOP 10 SIDEKICKS IN MCU
Updated: Apr 17, 2021
Success and failure we think of them as opposites, but they’re really not. They’re the companions-The hero and The sidekick.
Sidekicks are fascinating, aren't they? They will do anything for their hero. As they say, every superhero needs a sidekick.
I think we can all agree when I say a hero is as good as his sidekick. A mission is only successful when a hero and a sidekick work together.
SHURI:
My most favorite sidekick, this 16-year-old is my fav because she's super smart, savage, funny and she loves her brother so much and would do anything for him.
Shuri plays a major role in helping T’challa. She created most of Wakanda's modern technology, like the Wakandan maglev train, she improved T’challa ’s EMP beads, lifted his morale whilst the duel of T’challa and M’baku. She helped him during the mission in Busan, and she upgraded his panther habit. She helped T’challa in catching Ulysses Klaue. She made sneakers for T’challa for canceling noise whilst on missions. She healed Bucky Barnes, tried to extract mind stone from vision. After getting revived from the snap she helped Avengers along with T’challa in defeating Thanos and let’s not forget her iconic dialogue,
“The black panther lives, And when he fights for the fate of Wakanda, i will be right beside him”
LUIS:
Luis, our human jukebox, is the best because he is loyal, funny, and kind. He brings out the comedy that is needed in the film while the superhero is being cool. Luis neutralizes the film with his comedy and quirkiness.
As we know, Luis assisted Ant-man and the wasp in defending Hank Pym’s mobile laboratory from Ghost. He helped Ant-man during the Hank Pym Heist. He hid the Ant-man suit during the arrest of Scott lang for his part in the Clash of the Avengers. He pre-informed Lang that the FBI would be at his home in the morning to check around the house.
“ We’re the good guys, right?
Yeah, we’re the good guys.
Feels kind of weird, you know”

Ned is our quirky, funny, and super cute best friend. Ned is the best because he is so funny and matches Peter’s level so well. He is so loyal and he never feels bad about him and Peter being losers. They instead enjoy being themselves which every single person should do.
