Plot

The series is about a boy named Eric and his best friend Trevor, who are training to become sidekicks at the Academy for Aspiring Sidekicks. While dealing with intense sidekick training, Eric must also contend with the disappearance of his superhero mentor, Maxum Man, and keep it a secret from the town of Splitsboro.[2]

Characters

Main characters

  • Eric Needles - Eric is the main character of the series. Eric was adopted as the sidekick to Maxum Man, the greatest superhero of all time (before he disappeared). He also has a huge crush on Vana, but he later seems to be more infatuated with Mandy Struction. He grew up in an orphanage because he has no parents. He was adopted by Maxum Brain. Eric always wears a t-shirt with a skull on it. He is voiced by Miklos Perlus. In the Funpak shorts, he was voiced by Peter Oldring.

  • Vanessa "Vana" Glama - A self-absorbed, narcissistic, hyper-ambitious prima donna who’s not easily impressed and is extremely shallow. Eric has a huge crush on her.

In the Funpak shorts, she was also voiced by Stephanie Beard.

Recurring characters
