sidekick

Originally, Cosby was supposed to be much more of a sidekick.

A president with job approval in the low 40s is a much less appealing campaign trail sidekick than one who is in the 50s.

If a sidekick is flamboyantly dressed in pastels or tailored velvet, he must be morally corruptible.

He also took some swipes at his former White Stripes sidekick—and ex-wife—Meg White.

But he could also rescue his sidekick Brienne of Tarth from a bear.

It's even more interesting that his sidekick is a crooked electronics engineer or scientist.
