Robbie and Ben take the time to talk about some of their favorite superheroes. While heroes may have started out as adults in the Golden Age, the Silver Age started to introduce us to sidekicks. They were almost always younger versions of the titular hero. Normally differentiated by adding 'kid' or "lad' onto their name. Such as Kid Flash or Aqualad. But over the years they've grown and become more than that. In the best cases, they didn't even start out at sidekicks but as heroes all their own.
