There are some exceptions to this standard, however. Though, most sidekicks usually stay at their rank and don’t continue on to become Pros.
#EVERY SUPERHERO NEEDS A SIDEKICK PRO#
Sidekicks make an effort to get hired by more prestigious Pro Heroes, whether out of admiration or to gain popularity and experience in order to eventually become full-fledged Pro Heroes themselves and open their own agencies. The number of Sidekicks at an agency can vary some Heroes have only a couple of sidekicks, while others have dozens, and some opt to work alone. Some Pro Heroes only have a small Hero Office, but some Heroes, mainly the more prestigious ones, operate out of massive skyscrapers. An agency operates out of an office building which serves as their base of operations.

The standard is one very strong Pro Hero in charge, and a number of weaker Heroes who serve as Sidekicks under the command of the primary Hero. Heroes generally work in groups known as Hero Agencies. But over time, it came to garner public support due to the fact that the first people to work professionally as heroes acted morally and upheld the law. The authorization of the use of powers that could so easily kill was greatly criticized at first. Now with the opportunity to become licensed Heroes and use their Quirks to fight crime legally, the number of unlicensed Vigilantes slowly began to decrease, with almost none left today. 189 Vigilantes were affected by this statute, with only seven being accepted as official Heroes. The Pro Hero System was first put into place in Rhode Island in America under the "Rhode Island New State Statute". Later on, the profession of crime-fighting Quirk users separate from the police and military, Pro Heroes, began to exist. These original Heroes to appear during this time of chaos were Vigilantes, as the Pro Hero system had not yet been implemented, beginning the time period known as the Vigilantly era. As society adapted to the new status quo, the police force moved to prioritize leadership and to maintain the status quo, and as such, decided not to use Quirks as weapons.Īs chaos and unrest ensued due to the outbreak of Quirks, ordinary civilians with their own Quirks decided to take matters into their own hands to bring order to society, and thus the first "Heroes" appeared. The dawn of this extraordinary era was plagued by a breakdown of society caused by the sudden onslaught of criminals empowered by their newfound abilities and ordinary people being prejudiced against the Quirk users.
