The Human in Superhuman: The Power of the Sidekick in Popular
Culture spotlights the often overlooked but very crucial sidekick
in superhero narratives. From the classic companion Alfred
Pennyworth to the supportive best friend Foggy Nelson, this
collection examines a variety of sidekick characters and their
importance to the hero's journey in '''in each story. Ultimately,
rather than viewing the lack of superpowers as a flaw, the essays
show that it is precisely human qualities like compassion, empathy,
and encourage that enable the sidekicks to help their heroes grow.
Chapters include discussions of Spider-Man, Daredevil, Buffy the
Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who, and more.
