Wanted: Sidekick


I've decided my superhero alter ego needs a sidekick. For the time being, I'm co-opting the oddly brave and bravely odd Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter books.

I can't think of a more non sequiturial character.

Luna helping Harry out: "I’ll distract them all. Use your cloak. Oooh, look, a Blibbering Humdinger!"

"She’s slightly out of step in many ways but she’s the anti-Hermione. Hermione’s so logical and inflexible in so many ways and Luna is likely to believe ten impossible things before breakfast."
- J.K. Rowling, author

Her super transportation will be a Thestral, a scary, magical carnivorous horse-creature.

She's already got cool gadgets like SpectreSpecs.







So Luna it is, at least until J.K. Rowling's lawyers send me a cease-and-desist order.
