82. Obelix (originally Obélix from Asterix) - a character, a sidekick with superhuman strength in the Asterix comic
Unlike all other Gauls in the village, Obelix has no need to drink the druid's magic potion, that gives superhuman strength, because he fell into the cauldron as a baby, making its effect upon him permanent. This does not seem to have led to a general practice of infant baptism in magic potion among the Gauls. While Getafix has said on several occasions that there would be "dangerous side effects" if Obelix did drink magic potion, he never elaborated on exactly what would happen, and no evidence substantiates his claim.
83. Ebony White (40s Serial The Sprit) - a character from the comics series The Spirit, created by Will Eisner.
Ebony White is a character from the comics series The Spirit, created by Will Eisner. He is a African-American boy sidekick to Denny Colt, the title character. He drives a taxi and frequently helps the Spirit out of tough situations.
The appearance and characterisation of White (especially early in the series) is probably the most common criticism of the generally acclaimed strip. The character is cited as one of many examples of racist stereotypes in mainstream 20th century United States culture. His name is a racial pun, and his facial features - including large white eyes and thick pinkish lips - are typical of racial pickaninny caricatures popular throughout the "Jim Crow" era. As a loyal assistant to the white hero, he has been compared to the Uncle Tom stereotype.
On the other hand, the character is also sometimes cited as breaking new ground, as a likeable recurring character at a time when black characters of any kind were uncommon in comics. The character also developed as the series progressed, becoming less like the cowardly and dim-witted stereotype. Eisner reported receiving letters of both praise and criticism for the character at the time.
84. Muttley- (Hanna Barbara) - a dog, first appeared in Wacky Races in 1968, as the sidekick of a nasty but incompetent and horribly accident-prone villain named Dick Dastardly
Muttley is a Hanna-Barbera animated fictional character that was voiced by Don Messick (who also voiced Scooby-Doo). Muttley, a dog, first appeared in Wacky Races in 1968, as the sidekick of a nasty but incompetent and horribly accident-prone villain named Dick Dastardly. While Dick was created as the equivalent of Professor Fate from the 1960s movie The Great Race, Muttley mirrored the film's character of Max Meen. Dick and Muttley were paired together in various later Hanna-Barbera series as bumbling villains.
Muttley does not really talk; his main examples of speech are his trademark snicker---a wheezing, asthmatic laugh (usually made at Dick's expense)---and a mushy, low-in-the mouth grumble against an unsympathetic or harsh Dick (usually along the lines of "Rassum brassum msblsssl Rick Rastardly!"). Don Messick had used Muttley's distinctive laugh for another Hanna-Barbera canine, Precious Pupp, several years earlier, and repurposed it for Alexandra Cabot's cat Sebastian on Josie and the Pussycats in 1970.
85. Miles Prower (Sonic the Hedgehock) - a character in the Sonic the Hedgehog series of video games, comics, and TV shows released by Sega.
Although Tails can fly like a helicopter, he also enjoys flying Sonic's red biplane, the Tornado. As the series progressed, it was obvious his interest in the old biplane went further than just piloting it - Tails is a mechanical genius with intelligence comparable to Dr. Eggman's, and soon many modifications to the Tornado, as well as new biplanes, were added to his arsenal. He also operates a small blue submarine called the "Sea Fox" and a race car called the "Whirlwind S7", a vehicle clearly based upon the Lotus/Catherham Super Seven (hence the name).
In Sonic Adventure, Tails was experimenting with a Chaos Emerald-powered prototype plane based on Sonic's Tornado, the Tornado II. The Tornado II had two modes. One was quite similar to the old Tornado, but with a button press, Tails could make it transform into a rather futuristic-looking little plane, which outperformed the Tornado in all but one important function-- landing gear. Big the Cat ended up flying the wrecked Tornado II to his home after Sonic and Tails crash-landed on Eggman's flying fortress, the Egg Carrier.
86. Battlecat/Cringer (He-Man)- Battlecat is normally known as Cringer, the cowardly, lazy, overeating feline companion of Prince Adam whom becomes battlecat when He-man changes.
Battlecat is normally known as Cringer, the cowardly, lazy, overeating feline companion of Prince Adam. He tends to spend most of his time as Cringer sleeping, eating, and avoiding responsibility, as well as hiding at the slightest sign of trouble or danger. He can talk, although no reason is ever really given for this ability, and he is treated as if speaking is completely normal. His species is never given an explicit name and it is unclear how many others like him there are. When Prince Adam transforms in to He Man, he then holds his sword out and fires an energy beam at Cringer, transforming him in to Battlecat. When he becomes Battlecat, he grows to about twice his size, and is outfitted in red armor that covers his head, and back, with a saddle mounted on it for riding. As battlecat, he is brave, fearless, and powerful. His voice changes significantly, and he talks with a growl, as opposed to his whimpering voice that is heard when he is Cringer. Cringer generally dislikes becoming Battlecat, but he goes along with it anyway. He largely serves as a steed for he man, but he is known for mixing it up with the villains as well.
