Max of Batman Beyond. Due to the fact that the SDMB embraces folks of all orientations, I should point out that Max is short for Maxine.

Max is an A student with a killer body. A computer program she created to uncover members of the Jokerz, a gang dedicated to the apparently deceased Clown Prince Of Crime, instead revealed that Terry was Batman. Since then, she’s helped Terry with many cases. At times, it seemed that she would don a costume and become his partner.

most _like_ - I’m not sure…

But given some of my past horrible decisions with men, most _likely_ to… Die Fledermaus after I’ve had a few drinks.

Does Peter Pan count as a superhero? Because Tinkerbell is pretty hot and if she can turn herself human-size (like in _Hook_) then I’m all over that!

Does Buffy count as a superhero? If so, my first choice would be Willow. My second choice would be Willow. My third choice would be Willow.

Super villain sidekick, but I’d go for Sebastian Shaw’s assistant/femme fatale/living personal organizer/accountant/whatever: Tessa.
