![]() ![]() The psychiatrist meets Batman’s archenemy while working at Arkham Asylum and falls deeply and incomprehensibly in love with him despite his constant maltreatment of her. He has a scheming mind and is ready to kill if asked, but also has a bit of a human side to him, which is shown when he tries to make an effort to leave the innocent out of the illegal things he is tasked to perform.ĭebuting in the 1992 superhero animated television series that was the first entry of the DC animated universe, Harley Quinn grew out of what was initially conceived to be a bit part into the most well-known sidekick and love interest of the Joker. Played by Jonathan Banks, Mike does double duty working for drug kingpin Gus Fring and sometimes attorney Saul Goodman throughout “Breaking Bad.” As a cleaner, hitman and PI, along with his previous experience in law enforcement, he was extremely useful to the men who hired him. Setting aside any comparisons that may come to mind to “Pulp Fiction”’s Winston Wolf, let’s treat this ex-Philly cop as his own man. Though Smee serves the most ruthless pirate on the sea, he is actually a big old softy on the inside. He takes care of Hook, doting on him hand and foot, and is the only one who can protect him from his bully, the crocodile. Like any sidekick worth their salt, Smee is deeply loyal to the captain, and does things no respected first mate should ever be asked to do. He is the first one Hook comes running to when he has a problem. Smee is the closest thing to the mother Captain Hook never had. He is all too thrilled to participate in Luthor’s plan to destroy the west coast, as long as he can get a city in Luthor’s new west coast, appropriately named, Otisburg. He is pretty much useless except to make Luthor look and feel better in comparison and provide some comic relief in the movie. Otis is Luthor's dumb and bumbling sidekick. Similar to how LeFou’s presence bolsters Gaston’s ego, Lex Luthor probably keeps Otis around so he can always be the smartest guy in the room. His sarcastic personality and the hilarious back and forth between Iago and Jafar is one of the best parts of the animated movie and though Alan Tudyk does an admirable attempt in the live-action flick, it’s really no contest when we consider Gilbert Gottfried’s unforgettable efforts. He has no fear in using his big mouth to verbally assault his boss. Jafar may fancy himself a terrifying, all powerful sorcerer, but Iago is not scared of him. He is always prepared to deliver a clever quip or a stinging remark in that iconic voice. Jafar's talkative parrot doesn't know when to shut up. But perhaps what makes her the most notable is that she also has depth, evolving from one of the series’ main antagonists to a character that saved our heroine’s life.ĭark sorcerers certainly seem to have an affinity for winged companions. ![]() The physically fit martial artist is extremely smart and possesses an energy attack. Instead of pursuing her own goals or dreams, she prefers to carry out the work of others. Drakken, she is actually quite different from the mad scientist who wants to take over the world in that she isn’t narcissistic and doesn’t lack empathy for others (or at least, she seems to care for animals). We were introduced to this logical, quick-tempered villain in the pilot of “Kim Possible.” As the sidekick to Kim’s arch-foe Dr. However, he is humanized more in the live-action adaptation wherein he changes his ways upon realizing Gaston's true nature. In the original animated version, LeFou is equally as dark as Gaston, and is totally onboard for his plan to have Maurice committed and kill the Beast. He keeps Gaston's spirits up when he's feeling low, even singing an entire song about how awesome he is. While Gaston values outer beauty and physical perfection, LeFou is short with crooked teeth, so one can assume the two are best friends because LeFou allows Gaston to always be the prettiest one in the room. ![]() While we’re going to try to exclude henchmen, minions and/or lackeys, we know that these terms may sometimes overlap, so we’ll try our best to stick to those sidekicks who are more of a right-hand man than an underling. Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we’ll be counting down our picks for the Top 10 Best Movie & TV Villain Sidekicks.įor this list, we’ll be looking specifically at the number two of villains from the big and small screens.
