Maybe you heard of the Sidekickers, a crime-fighting team composed of the sidekicks of forgotten heroes or forgotten sidekicks of heroes. (Quirl, Zook,Doiby Dickles, BatHound,...and many I do not recognize.).
They started out with a major mistake. Instead of starting gently, with bankrobbers or such, they had to go fight a MAJOR DC supervillain (Evil Star and his Starlings). The Sidekickers lost the fight., Quirl lost an ear. They then re-organized as Sidekicks Anonymous, helping abandoned sidekicks readjust & get over being sidekicks...
Evil Star (after defeating the Sidekickers): come on, Starlings - let's get out of here before some REAL superheroes show up !
----- later...
Zook: Maybe we can travel back in time to a war..
Quirl: With what ? If we had a time machine, we wouldn't be sitting here in a Salvation Army canteen !!
Bizarro wrote & drew the story...
Nameless, promising mate of Tin, but disappeared without explanation when DC decided to make the Metal Men hunted and hated. Came back many years later. only to be destroyed permanently. Never existed in revised histories... I never accepted DC post-crisis 1986.
Snapper Carr, tho saved the JLA a number of times, finally betrayed them to a disguised Joker and necessitated a new headquarters for the JLA.
Uncle Dudley, proved his mettle when he helped vanquish Black Adam.

) And believe me, you're not the only who wondered about what could have been, at one point I got so bored I started coming up with the teams origin story!
But the gist of it was the Mr. Mxyzptlk (had to search how to spell that) was getting bored of everyone being so annoyingly dark and gritty (the book was also a bit of commentary, won't lie) and teamed up with Bat-Mite to gather all the remaining 'fun' heroes and villains in their own little world (the name of which was Mxyzptlk and Mite's Fun-land) to generate some new entertainment for the two of them. Meanwhile, all these oddball characters are trying to escape, but their failures are so hilarious that the two decide to keep them there even longer. It was a weird story, but I thought it was amusing. dc.wikia.com/wiki/Superman_and…
I desperately want to read a story now where Woozy does get a ring. 
Awesome stuff!
