Protective Sidekick

**Minion** is the secondary protagonist of the 2010 CGI animated film, *Megamind*. He is the protective sidekick of the titular character who believes his sole purpose in life is to serve and protect Megamind from any threats that could come to him. After the two stopped Tighten from destroying Metro City, they both became the new heroes for Metro City after Metro Man decided to retire from his superhero work. He was voiced by David Cross.

## What Makes Him A Guile Hero?

* He successfully sneaks a disguise watch into the prison Megamind is being held in which allows Megamind to disguise himself as the warden and escape.
* He along with Megamind came up with a very clever plan to trick Metro Man into going inside of a fake observatory so they could destroy him with a death ray.
* Unlike Megamind, Minion knew that creating a new hero would be bad for at first making things harder for himself but after realising Hal is not a good fit for a hero he wants to defuse him but Megamind tells him not to since it's destiny. And Minion turned out to be right about Hal "not seeming the hero type" as he turns into a villain later on.
* He deduced that Megamind has been going out with Roxanne behind his back just by smelling the cologne he was wearing which is meant for attracting others.
* After realizing Megamind has turned himself in to prison again. Minion sneaks into the prison by using his own disguise watch and ties up the warden so he can free Megamind from his cell and the two can go and battle Tighten.
* He comes up with a clever plan to distract Tighten while Megamind builds everything he needs to fight Tighten 1 on 1 and during this Minion also tricks Tighten into imprisoning himself temporarily by the brainbots and saves Roxanne's life by throwing her onto the side and cushioning her fall.
* He decided to keep the spiderbot not just because he was emotionally attached to him but because Minion thought they would need him to patrol heroically (and this ended up becoming an important action later on when they needed to destroy the Mega Megamind).
* He and Megamind successfully find the kids who had dehydrated their parents address and rehydrate the parents using a glass of water so the kids get a fitting punishment.

## Trivia

* He and Megamind are the only Guile Heroes in *Megamind*. They are both also the only Guile Heroes from Universal to not come from *The Bad Guys*.
