This Thanksgiving, our favorite comic book characters will be nestling in for a long, quiet evening with their families and friends. Since no sporting events ever happen in the DC and Marvel Universes without being stopped halfway through by world-conquering maniacs, it’s unlikely they’ll be talking about the 49ers game. We here at ComicBook.com decided to give them a little something to talk about, then, while they’re sitting around drinking their ironically-named beers after dinner: Who are the best supporting cast members in all of comics?Certainly it’s a very relative question and the factors that come into play are many and varied–but here’s the ten who would not just make the cut–but make for a very interesting conversation around the kids’ table while their superheroes are off somewhere trying to get that supervillain to return Candlestick Park to its normal size.As a note–I tried to keep sidekicks and other superheroes who have their own title and their own gimmick in their own corner of the universe out of this list, so there will be some controversial omissions. I also broke that rule myself once or twice and hopefully in those cases you’ll understand the invisible line I tried to draw.
