Supergirl has a cat and a horse who sometimes turns into a man and romances her. 
I don't write this stuff.@Lord Wraith

@Morden Man I expect to see you follow DCs example and do some weird stuff.

But yes DC is far more fond of adding legacies than Marvel is. In recent years though DC has pulled back on them thankfully but they're still rather common. Batman is obviously the most notorious example and in my opinion the one that suffers from the least amount of updating. That said in the New 52 at least Dick and Co aren't quite as young. At least I don't think Dick was made into Robin at age 12 anymore (or at least I'm hoping not). I recall reading at one point that Batman went through his three Robins in about five years and if we say Dick is anywhere between 18 and 21 he would have been at least 13 to 16 when he first became Robin so how much of an improvement that is can be argued.@Lord Wraith

I think one of the reasons Marvel goes with Legacies rather than Sidekicks is they had a bad run with Sidekicks back in the 30s/40s, and to be perfectly honest with good enough supporting characters there isn't really a need for Sidekicks. Marvel just tend to go "Oh we'll just throw this supporting character in instead". We haven't seen the last of Legacies or maybe older Sidekicks. 

Though the young scrappy teens I think are pretty much done for, except as them training to become the next big heroes.

That's how I view it, though once again my experience with DC is limited. So I await someone to come with a better opinion than mine.

Media such as the MCU Movie Captain America: The First Avenger have displayed an updated take with Bucky being Steve's friend growing up and an alley in war without having to dress in a costume.@Lord Wraith

They used even old Bucky to justify why no-one in the Avengers have a sidekick (Unless you count War-Machine as it looks like he's going to be very sidekick in Civil War. Same as Falcon).

I think Sidekicks can still be an important part to the story. Though they are certainly becoming out-dated. There's an element of the fact that the Hero has to look after them all the time that's become less and less popular with teenage heroes/sidekicks coming into their own element rather than in the shadows of whoever started that legacy.  

They provide a very important part of story-telling but it doesn't work for everyone. DC as it is seems far more fond of adding legacies and sidekicks than Marvel however.

Superman even has a super powered freaking dog.

I was planning on doing a tag team Hercules and Cho at one point before i decided on Boomerang, but i just felt that the whole point of Cho was that he is a teenage genius. A role which has kind of been taken by Tony and Reed so i didn't really see the point in introducing another one!@Natty

Plot twist: Make Cho older.

Now I'm trying to imagine Warwick Davis cast in lieu of Jason Statham in something like The Transporter.@Bounce

That was my intention.

Jinxed my OOC theory.

<Snipped quote by Dblade26>
A good bit of detail, but it still leaves the crime scene examiner with not much more than "kid" without any further identifying detail as to gender.

The Heelys were chosen to illustrate that he's 9-10 years old though.@Bounce

Or a dwarf. They're probably (even in Gotham) more likely to look for someone short before they go looking for a kid.

@DrewVonAwesome if once the name is official Tony Stark doesn't make something like this happen I will be disappointed. 

Vista Verde, New Mexico. 1959HRS Local Time

"RROOOOOSSSS!"

Hulk continued slamming the vehicle up and down, as Hulk would eventually make puny man come out. If not puny man would be crushed in the vehicle! That was all that mattered, the puny man. Ross. Had to pay for everything he did to Hulk! Hulk wasn't bad, but everyone treated Hulk like a monster so they got a monster. Hulk would show them how he is strongest. Nobody could beat Hulk, and eventually they would learn. They'd learn to leave Hulk alone!

As an explosion hit his shoulder, likely from a hand held grenade launcher, Hulk cast a look over his shoulder. Half curiosity, half snarl. Then another grenade blew up in his face. Shaking his head in pure rage Hulk threw the vehicle in his hands towards the offending troops, shouting after the vehicle as it flew through the air... before colliding with the street and going rolling. 

Hulk wouldn't know but inside Ross was getting a true feeling to what it was like to be in a tin can... or he would if he hadn't lost consciousness several minutes ago. The generals vehicle out the way shells began firing again crashing into his back and pushing him down onto the pavement, he could hear the helicopters in the distance.

They wouldn't let Hulk go. More puny humans were coming, always coming. Always attacking Hulk. Never leaving him alone, not only Ross. All the others were bad too! Hulk was wrong to trust Banner. Could never be happy here, this was a place full of puny humans. Puny humans who probably told them that Hulk was here. Before Hulk could push up, stand up. Jump away. The puny humans shot a net at him.

Though it wasn't a normal net, pins surrounding the net were attracted to one another so the second the net was shot it began trying to constrict as they tried to rejoin to have it's prey fully ensnared. Though the sheer size, and strength of Hulk wasn't making it easy. As thousands of electric volts poured through the net into Hulk it was unclear who was going to win the battle between the beasts anger and the abuse it's body was taking. Then suddenly, the net began to budge. Hulk began pushing his arms out towards the edge of the net, and against all the odds the net began to pull apart. Within a couple of minutes the entire net tore apart and lay in tatters on the ground.

Hulk let loose a defiant roar aimed at the heavens, as soldiers surrounding him looked to each other. Not really sure on what to do, until one Major Talbot tapped his radio. "Bring in the gunships!"

Hulk wasn't as stupid as they thought he was! He broke their puny net, could hear their puny helicopters coming towards him. The powerful cannons began firing tearing the paved tarmac apart, through ruined walls and buildings. Hulk just began to run in the other direction.

Then something tugged at his mind. Banner. There were people that way, but Hulk didn't care about puny Humans! Though Banner wouldn't let him get them hurt... Though Hulk knew that Banner was puny! He couldn't control Hulk. Though he could stop Hulk from getting to go free. So, right shoulder first he tore into one of the many abandoned buildings.

Occasionally fire from one of the gunships would rip through a wall, window or ceiling as Hulk continued to one through one wall after the next. Across streets pushing cars out of his way as he carved a path of destruction through Vista Verde. Hulk didn't care, he just wanted to get away. If the choppers would stop chasing him he could do it quickly, but no. They continued to chase. Crashing through a last wall there were no more buildings. So he jumped, his powerful legs casting him high into the air. Before gravity took hold of him again and he came crashing back down....

Stumbling slightly and creating an impact crater where he landed he jumped again.

and again...

and again...

and again...

@TimeMasterX oh hail the mighty Doom Master.
