In the classic good-guy vs bad-guy scenario, both the hero and the villain can each be considered the other’s foil, in that each acts to show how the other behaves in certain situations. Sidekicks often serve as foils. They can be something that the hero or villain himself is not. For example, if the hero or villain is hotheaded, the sidekick could be calm and practical.
