They can be dismissed from the sidekick details page in your Hideout or from the side panel.

Sidekicks

Only available after a certain step in the level 9 quest.
Each of them needs to be enabled once, and from then on they can be selected from the Hideout.
Once selected, a sidekick will follow the hero for as long as necessary, until it is dismissed (from the Hideout as well).
