I'm working on a fanfic, and I need help. Before anyone goes crazy, I'm not a B/G shipper...blech! (I love the father/daughter thing they have going, though.)

Are there other superheros that have a mentor and confidante like Gile's is to Buffy? I thought of the commissioner in Batman, but the Commissioner didn't know Batman's real identity. I also thought of Devon Miles in Knight Rider, but is *anyone* gonna get that reference? Can anyone think of other examples where there's a superhero with a friend/mentor type person that know their secret life?

Thanks!
 
How about Alfred and Bruce Wayne(Batman)

Alfred and Bruce Wayne
Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson(Batman and Robin)
Obi-Wan Kenobi/Yoda and Luke Skywalker.
Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The Green Hornet and Kato
Dr. Evil and Mini-Me
Captain Picard and Commander Riker
Gandalf and Frodo
Angel and Spike
Hannibal Lector and Clarice Starling
Merlin and King Arthur
Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle(a great parallel right there)
Xena and Gabrelle

here's a couple...I am sure that I can come up with some more if my brain wasn't so tired...
 
LOL! Thankks! This will be helpful. It's a small reference, and as writing goes, it might not even survive the edits. We'll see.


Update: OK, I think the Bruce Wayne/Alred is the one I was looking for. See, I knew that there was someone that knew Batman's identity! Thanks again!
 
Hey don't forget this little exchange from "The Yoko Factor"----

Giles: You never train with me anymore. He's gonna kick your ass.
Buffy: (shocked) Giles.

He steps out of the kitchen, drink in hand, and leans against the entrance of the hallway.

Giles: Sorry. Was it a bit honest? (drunken grin) Terribly sorry.
Xander: (standing) So she doesn't go alone. (turns to him) Giles, weapons all around.

Buffy: You're not going, Xander.

He turns to face her, giving her a hard look.

Buffy: Y-you'd get hurt.
Xander: (as if expecting this) Oh. Okay. You and Willow go do the superpower thing, I'll stay behind and putt around the Batcave with crusty old Alfred here. (with a thumb to Giles)
Giles: Ah-ah, no. I am no Alfred, sir. No, you forget. Alfred had a job.



--I knew there was a Batman reference in there somewhere...
 
Yeah, see, and now that *I* know who Alfred is, I get that line. The problem is, it's been used, and therefore wouldn't be original in a story. It would just come across as recycled material. DANG!
 
What about Splinter as a mentor to the Ninja Turtles?! ...Sorry, huge TMNT fan here lol 😀
 
Spiderman and Uncle Ben
X-men and Charles Xavier

To stay with B/A what about Faith and Mayor Wilkins the IIIth
