Marvel/DC: Which Superhero/Supervillain Would You Be A Sidekick To?

Yeah, Superman's great for being a moral compass and showing you the finer points of being a genuine hero, but he's hardly the most skilled fighter-- he just throws big ugly haymakers and hopes his super-strength is enough to get the job done. Plus, he's not much for strategy, so unless I'm also a Kryptonian or something similar, training with him wouldn't do much good. And yeah, Batman's the ultimate badass and he's also known for training lots of sidekicks, but he's also known for being a paranoid abusive psychopath who's infamous for treating his apprentices like shit and generally being a genuinely awful human being. Plus, the opening pitch for this thread said I'd have superpowers, and Batman's always come off as irrationally prejudiced against metahumans. But Wonder Woman? Wondy is hands-down one of the most absolutely badass fighters in the entire DC Universe. She's taken down entire armies by herself, she's picked fistfights with literal gods and won-- and yes, she's even straight-up kicked Batman's ass. And only a portion of that badassery comes from her superpowers; she's got a lifetime of training from the greatest warrior society on the planet. She's steeped not just in mythical martial arts that compliment having superpowers, but also in large-scale tactics and strategy. When Supergirl first came to Earth (pre-reboot) and everyone realized she was going to have to learn how to fight, they didn't let Superman or Batman or anyone else train her; they sent her to Diana, and by the end of her training, she was able to hang in a battle with Darkseid (particularly in the animated movie). If there's anyone who can get the absolute best out of someone's abilities in a short amount of time, it's Wonder Woman. The fact that I'd probably get a couple of handy magical weapons out of the deal, not to mention the fact that said training would happen on a gorgeous tropical island populated by the hottest women on Earth, certainly doesn't hurt.

The one caveat to this whole story: Your training would probably start with your castration.
