Line 27:
*** At least they tried to be heroes; Chase tried to be holier-than-thou.
* Damian Wayne in the ''[[Batman (Comic Book)|Batman]]'' Comics, made Robin at age 10, just as Tim Drake was growing out of the tights. Lampshaded in ''Red Robin'' #14, where the oldest and youngest of the first three Robins refer to each other as Marcia and Cindy, and lock Damian out of a file with the password "cousinoliver".
* Chris Kent when he was introduced in [[Superman|Superman's Comics]]. It didn't help that [[Superboy|Kon-El]] had been killed off recently. Following the trope to the letter, he eventually caught a case of [[Plot
* Subverted with [[Fan Nickname|Kid-Loki]] who is just the normal Loki reincarnated as his kid self (with only his childhood memories and powers).

As this is written the series is still midway through its first season, so time will tell if Sofi catches [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]].
