Sidekick ideas

I was looking around Caprice and realized that not only are there a wide variety of hero-wannabe outfits, but some of them are pretty cool. I have no idea how much work would be required, but.... maybe the characters could be made into sidekicks?

that would be nice or so, but never seen them use an existing character before. it would be nice they do that.
Honestly I started out thinking it was a bad idea because the costumes in question are less cool than the costumes we see on lockbox sidekicks, but then I realized something.... that's LOCKBOX sidekicks. They show off the new lockbox costumes. For example, there's also Harley Davison... he uses a rather generic costume from a Cobra Lord NPC.
Honestly I think the main reason this is unlikely to happen right now is that it's too much work for too little reward.

My characters
ROBOT SHARK SIDEKICK
A robot shark that fliesaround shooting lasers while also using bite attacks
SKELETON SHARK SIDEKICK
Same idea, but it uses ebon/dark attacks and also bites
Also, Giant Hands as sidekicks.
Around the size of the whole characters body, could count as one entity, or each hand as a separate entity
Stone Hands
Giant stone hands that use Might and Earth attacks (specially that shockwave attack from the might powerset)
Robot Hands
Huge Robot hands using Electric and Might attacks (specially that thunder handclap one), maybe some missiles too
Knight Hands
Abnormaly large Knight hands usingCelestial and Might powers
Skeleton Hands/Claws
Gargantuan skeleton hands using Feral swipes and casting dark magic
And some weird/odd ones
Floating Moai head
A Large floating Moai head hovering over the ground, using sonic attacks and beams tha cause dimensional damage
Only the mouth is slightly animated (open and closes)
Completely normal skeleton
A normal skeleton using single blade attacks (with a bone skin), throwing bones etc.
Just standing near enemies has a chance to apply fear
When it moves it does clackity noises
When it remains idle it makes xylophone noises
Old Wizard
An old classic wizard.
Flying aorund on a carpet or cloud.
Uses a wand(like the ones from Demon members), casting elemental attacks, sometimes summons furniture that crushes enemies (can we get recycled furniture assets from NW? )
Could say stuff like:
"Its magic, i dont have to explain it"
"Science is for wimps"
Old Witch
A classic looking witch
Flying on the Halloween Broom back-piece with the hoverboard animation
Cast hexxes , and summon black cats and bats that explode doing dark damage
Ninjas
Plain and simple ninjas (maybe 2 or 3)
Use dual blades and claws, throw shurikens and smoke bombs, maybe some MA moves.
Levitating Psychic Octopus
What it sounds like
An octopus swimming across the air using telepathy & telekinesis powers
Last two cause we have too much cats
Cat-Astrophe
A Stone Cat (maybe like a sphinx)
(larger than the player, at least maybe the size of the mechanon spider creature)
Uses magical and earth powers besides those "cat attacks"
Cat-Atomic (its a pun on catatonic, laugh now)
Either a Robot or Irradiate-like cat
Larger than the player.
Uses some Radioactive powers and beams (if robot, maybe some micromunitions too)
In groups of 2 or 3, male and female
Height below the characters knee-line
They could use Earth attacks and some healing magic
Dwarves
Similar to Gnomes, but less magical, and more melee, also have a chance to increase your resource drop while active
Maybe some Skeleton gnomes, Gnome Bones
Tiny skeletons for the edgy Necromancers and dark wizards
Also something like this Small Land Drones-Robots
Their movements can be sen in this video
Like the sidekick devices are great and all, but could we have a "custom sidekick" device that you can purchase to summon a character you created? It could be accessed from a database like the Nemesis database, positioned outside or by Champions HQ. You customize their appearance and (to a limited extent) their powers/role. When you purchase the "Sidekick: custom" device, you are able to call them just like you would Indy Kid or whoever, but it's your own sidekick.
That way you no longer have to wish there was "this" sidekick or "that" sidekick, and Cryptic can stop putting resources into adding sidekicks, delegate that responsibility to the player.
Star Trek Online though? Well Bridge Officers have a massive array of customization options. Heck there are lock box items for adding new Boff powers.

Saying "this is the way it's coded" should not deter any suggestions.
People moaned about CoH not having customizable powers for years, they just kept saying "you can't because of the way it's coded"
Then Champions was released and within months CoH had customizable powers.
