History HypercompetentSidekick / Webcomics

* A story arc in ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' introduces Tilly, who is trying ''way'' to hard to be this to Hannelore. Tilly seems to actually ''be'' hypercompetent, the problem is they're trying to prove themself to someone who ''doesn't actually want or need an assistant'', and won't always take "I don't need you to do this" for an answer.

** [[BigBadWannabe General Tarquin]] thinks that [[spoiler:his son]] [[CloudCuckoolander Elan]] is this to [[TheHero Roy]]. He isn't.
*** [[FourStarBadass Tarquin]] and [[SinisterMinister Malack]] are this to the [[AdiposeRex Empress of]] [[FatIdiot Blood]]. [[spoiler:{{Subverted}}. The situation is closer to TheManBehindTheMan, they (and their four other companions) are using her as a patsy for their plot to rule the Western Continent.]]

* ''Webcomic/CurseQuest'': Minerva to the Owl Hunter. Minerva seems to be much more capable than the Hunter, but is still considered his apprentice.

* Richard from ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'' is the most powerful member of Cale's team, being able to kill with his hands or use magic do perform whatever execution he has come up with for his enemies. Tempered a little in the fact he is an [[HeroicComedicSociopath evil undead warlock]].

* ''WebComic/StandStillStaySilent'': The Västerströms are the actual figureheads of the expedition, but have no experience dealing with people outside the academic field and have relied on their military acquaintances Taru and Taru's friend Trond to actually build a viable expedition plan, especially when CuttinCorners became a requirement. Taru and Trond also brought in four out of the five actual crew members that they picked among their various acquaintances, when all the Västerströms had to offer was a nephew who happened to have dropped out of the academic field to join the army.

* ''Webcomic/{{Sidekicks}}'': Back when he was a {{Sidekick}}, Darkslug was this to his master hero [[AlwaysSecondBest Dunkelheit]] despite the hero being considered the strongest superhero behind [[WorldsStrongestMan Guardian]]. So much so that while Guardian easily defeats Dunkelheit in combat, [[{{Badass}} Darkslug]] actually ends up defeating the superhero.

* Captain Kaff Tagon of ''SchlockMercenary'' has several, depending on the situation. Normally it's Kevyn, but on more specialised subject (medical, legal, etc.) others step in.

* Baliir of ''{{Drowtales}}'', to Kiel. Who outright acknowledges he basically keeps the whole mess she rules over running and working.

* Redcloak from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' is the sidekick who makes Xykon's evil organization run. Although Xykon is devastatingly powerful and capable of surprising cunning at times, he has no patience for details, and his idea of strategy consists of pounding obstacles with spells until they go away. It helps that Redcloak is DangerouslyGenreSavvy whereas Xykon suffers from ContractualGenreBlindness.

* Baliir of ''{{Drowtales}}'', to Kiel. Who outright aknowledges he basicly keeps the whole mess she rules over running and working.
* Noblesse has lord Raizel & his battle butler Frankenstein. Sidekick Frankenstein does the bulk of exposition, the science, & a huge chunk of the fighting. Hero Raizel is almost devoid of personality. All we know about him is that he drinks tea, eats ramen, & doesn't make facial expressions. He always shows up at the last minute to save the day in mere seconds after every other battle capable character is exhausted.

* Bill the Extra Guy is the sidekick to Fred the Spanyard from ''Neglected Character Comix'', a sprite comic series involving Mario characters on the Neglected Character subpage of ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' HQ. A seemingly useless sidekick compared to Fred's death rays and other such powers, he freezes time and space with his "extra power" which leaves his friend more than impressed.

* Jasomet from the sequel to ElijahAndAzuu (Pre-Teen Demon) could easily solve the lead characters' problems, but he's stopped partially by his LiteralGenie mindset, and the fact that the other characters object to his graphically violent methods.

* ''Webcomic/{{BIBLE}}'' has Opal, working for Balthazar. [[FourStarBadass Not that Balthazar's incompetent]], but Opal is certainly better at dealing with people.

* In ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob,'' Molly is a GadgeteerGenius and even has modest super-speed (she can outrun a bear, anyway), while her adoptive daddy Bob is, of course, nominally the World's Most Average Man. Bob's other big defining trait though is CommonSense, a quality Molly certainly lacks.
