Line 26:
** As for the other major Batgirl, Cassandra Cain, she stepped away and gave the role to Stephanie. She was eventually appointed as the "Batman" of Hong Kong, using the code name "Blackbat".
* An unusual example: [[Moon Knight]] reluctantly took on Midnight--the son of one of his enemies--as a sidekick. Eventually Midnight was [[Face Heel Turn|"promoted" to villain status]], after [[We Can Rebuild Him|becoming an evil cyborg]]. This graduation stuck until Moon Knight recently [[Kill Him Already|euthanized his old charge]].
* After ''[[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]]'' Steve Rogers was killed, and was replaced as [[Captain America (comics)]] by [[Bucky Barnes]], his WWII sidekick. You thought Bucky was a [[Dead Sidekick]]? It's a long story... Anyway, when Steve came back, they decided that Bucky should be the one to continue on as Cap, as it's helping his [[Character Development]]. Steve now operates sans codename as a super-agent not unlike [[Nick Fury]].
** Though recently Bucky went back to the Winter Soldier codename after [[Not Quite Dead|supposedly dying]] during [[Fear Itself (Comic Book)|Fear Itself]]. He still operates as a hero, and will be getting his own independent on-going series next year.
