In the tradition of great dynamic duos, City of Heroes implemented a feature where superhero characters could recruit a sidekick (or "lackey" if they are a supervillain) who benefits from combat and level bonuses provided he stays within a certain distance of his mentor. This allows casual or inexperienced players to team up with veterans and enjoy the game without having to grind their way up to high levels. Guinness World Records Gamers' Edition 2009.
