I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!
Thomas More - A Man for All Seasons
Interested in reading Daredevil? Not sure what to read next? Why not check out the Daredevil Book Club for some ideas?
I'd love to see Ace Nadia Pym/Nadia Van Dyne become a thing.
Viv Vision as a lesbian or bi would be great too (I know they've touched on her sexuality slightly and seemed to say she's not into boys but...well that read really inconclusive the way it was written). Course with two Viv (or Vivian) Vision's well we can have even more options now.
Bi Peter Parter and/or Johnny Storm would be great too.
Bi Blink (Exiles) would be fun to explore as an idea as well (plenty of fans seemed to ship Nocturne and her back in the day).
Was that supposed to be an AU? I'm pretty sure it was just supposed to be the "616" or a close fascimile otherwise and just kind of touched on a lot of the ships fans loved but weren't necessarily happening or possibly going to IE America and Kate and Charles with Erik or Carol and Jess etc...
Turn Namor and Cap, Beast and Kurt, X daddy an Magneto into lovebirds
Rant
Jean really is the worst character in Marvel, isn't she?
Scemma forever Triangle never.
Scott needs an alpha female like Bettsy.
What woman wouldn't be attracted to Scott? He's 100% alpha male who tells the Avengers to go f*#& themselves.
I want cyclops back free from any ginger women to be his own man.
Logically..
TeenClops should have lusted for Emma & Cuckoos. Especially Stepford Cuckoos! They're teenage triplet clones of his hottest ex, how could he not be?
End of rant
I think Sera and Koi Boi might the only two trans characters that would qualify as superheroes. Both are great, but it's clear Marvel is not interested in letting either of them take center stage. A trans character who plays a key role in an important story is definitely overdue. I'm still hoping Voyager will turn out to be trans (and that they will actually keep using her and not send her to editorial limbo after No Surrender is done, of course).
As for creating a brand new, non-legacy queer hero that can be successful; I think the easiest way to do that right now would be through a book that they know they'll be able to distribute through the Scholastic market, so the odds of it sticking around longer like Squirrel Girl and Moon Girl would improve.
I mean, Marvel treats it in a jokey manner, but I'm pretty sure they intend it to be canon. Deadpool co-creator Fabian Nicieza once went on a rant to explain how Wade's sexuality works and it was clear he wasn't 100% straight, and Gerry Duggan also once said he'd be interested in exploring Wade's omnisexuality. I don't think that they would feel so comfortable doing stuff like Wade having Spider-Man on his fuck list, or Wade considering Spider-Man to be his heartmate, etc. if they didn't see Wade as queer. Even movie Deadpool was labeled as pansexual by both the director and leading actor because of his behavior in the comics. Again, yes, it's treated with a lot of humor, but it's not the kind of humor they'd use with straight characters. You would NEVER see Spider-Man (Peter Parker) joking about kissing or fucking dudes, let's be real.
And now that you mention it, I could totally see Spider-Gwen being LGBTQ. She's a very interesting case of a character who's both old and new at the same time, and Marvel could use that to their advantage.
Considering James Bond is a title and not just one single person, I see no problem with a James Bond who turns out to not be straight. Wasn't Daniel Craig's Bond hinted as possibly being bicurious anyway?
Can we not with the nonsensical race comparison? Race and sexuality are not the same thing. They don't work the same way AT ALL. White people don't wake up one day and discover they might be black, and vice-versa. Of course, we have cases like Michael Jackson, but that was because of a skin condition, not because he was experimenting being white and found out that was his true self.

Fan-Theory that has not yet been confirmed in Canon. Even then, I was mostly referring to Bond as a singular character, like he's in the books, where such headcanons don't work. As for Craig, it's one scene in Skyfall where Silva is groping him, and Bond says "what makes you think this is my first time". Could be true, could be a bluff, considering it was never followed up, and even when he fakes his death and lays low he still lays with ladies. As it stands, it remains a theory.
Either way, twas just an example. I could've used Conan, for instance. But that's not the point. I can see Thor, being a God and all, having fucked more than just human & Asgardian women. Logan too, considering how long he's been alive. But Tony makes no sense so late in his "career". He likes women, period. The whole "theory" is based on him being good friends with Rhodey. Which means that you would have to turn Rhodey to into a Bi dude, which again, he's shown no signs of being. Hell, if Predator came out today we'd have Dutch/Dillon OTPs. Bromance has turned into "clearly, they're gay for each other". To be honest, I'm surprised folks aren't shipping Raylan & Boyd from Justified...
Point is, if you're dead-set on doing it to somebody, choose a lesser known, less developed character. See D-Man, for an actual example. If you want to "out" an A-Lister, at least pick someone that makes sense and won't piss down decades of characterization. Tony's already suffered Bendis, Gillen and regressing into a manchild to appease the MCU bandwagoners. I think that's enough...
At the end of the day, I can't control people's headcanons. If that orgy panel in Superior is enough foundation for some folks... Whatever, I don't own the character.
