Trevor Troublemeyer

Trevor Troublemeyer He lives up to his last name... Gender: Male Type: Annoying and Cruel "Best Friend" to Eric Age: 13 Species: Human Portrayed by: Christian Potenza Status: Alive Media of origin: Sidekick

Trevor Troublemeyer is the main deuteragonist of the Canadian animated series Sidekick, as well as The Not-So-Superheroic Adventures of Sidekick shorts that aired as part of the 2005 TV series Funpak. He is Eric Needles' so-called "best friend" and partner-in-shenanigans and can always rope him into all sorts of hijinks. He's also the son of Martin Troublemeyer and was voiced by Christian Potenza.

Personality

Trevor isn't the brightest out of all of his friends, although he has had some bright moments. Trevor, having a bloodline of evil, likes destruction and mayhem, like his father's alter-ego, and usually goes on an evil rampage either sometimes or when needed.

Due to having no brain as revealed in "Gone Gaga", Trevor has the lowest intelligence as he wanted to touch numerous gadgets within the Mansion, including poop. In "Ice to Know You", he believed that the weather-changing machine could cook hot dogs, though Eric debunked this.

Why He's Nothing but Trouble

1. He refuses to handle criticism and take responsibility for his actions.
   • He doesn't even get punished for his actions either, making him an absolute Karma Houdini. What's even worse is that he was made to be a Karma Houdini on purpose. Not even Jake Spidermonkey would be this unlikable.
2. He's unaware that Master XOX is his father, believing that they're two completely different people. That's very common in pieces of media, as not wanting to reveal your secret identity is understandable. But shouldn't at least ONE person know?
3. He's your generic frat boy without almost any personality whatsoever.
4. He is a horrible best friend to Eric. Much like WH'sNbT #1, he refuses to take responsibility for his actions and just frames it all on Eric, and everybody believes him, as evident in episodes like "This Hour Has 22 Million Minutes", "Super Frienemies", and "Teacher's Pet".
5. He never did anything useful in the episode "Trevor the Hero"; yet people praise him just because he's not Eric.
6. A lot of times, he's a real jerk to his father Martin, not wanting to spend some father-son time with him.
7. He provides tons of gross-out humor, such as farting. Almost any scene that involves him has gross-out humor.
8. He also comes off as an Idiot Houdini as he is purposefully an idiot without any sort of explanation whatsoever and almost isn't even funny in the slightest.
9. If he's the son of Master XOX and finds villains "wicked", then why does he need to go to a school for Superhero Sidekicks?
10. His worst moment was in “Graduation Daze” where he, Vana, and Kitty beat up Eric for accidentally using his heat vision on the students' diplomas.
11. In "Ice to Know You", he believed that the weather-changing machine could cook hot dogs, which is completely false. This shows that Trevor can be very dumb.
    • Eric did debunk this, however.

Qualities That Aren't Trouble

1. His voice actor, Christian Potenza, did a passable job voicing him.
2. His design is pretty good.
3. He was a bit more tolerable in the Funpak shorts, but even then, he wasn't that interesting.
