sidekick

Sidekick is a Canadian animated television series created by Todd Kauffman and Joey So for YTV, and produced by Nelvana. The series is about an orphan boy named Eric Needles, with his best friend Trevor and his two other friends, Vana and Kitty, who are training to become superhero sidekicks at the Academy for Aspiring Sidekicks (though in "Graduation Daze", supervillains can send their henchmen to the academy) in the Canadian city of Splittsboro (based on Scarborough, Toronto).
