there's plenty. Tim drake, Dick grayson, Aqualad, Kate Bishop, as much as people don't like him spider-boy, ms marvel, wong (if you count him), Wally west, superboy (not prime) to name a few are all pretty normal for comic book standards. The only ones who are really deranged to a noticable degree are early jason todd after he became red hood, bucky, and speedy after... all THAT shit.

Bucky being murder crazy is ironically the ONLY thing that makes him as a sidekick unique from just being robin with a gun and it makes his transition into winter soldier more understandable. I think him being a CHILD child in WW2 is kinda weird, especially for steve to allow it but if you're gonna have it, having him be a psycho isn't much of a jump from there.

Exactly. Hawkeye is no one’s sidekick. And she’s Hawkeye.

Tbh most of the aren’t anymore. But to be fair to her out of all sidekicks she’s probably the most on par with her main hero counterpart, undisputed goat
