Marvel Comics Honors Pride Month with 'Marvel's Voices: Pride' #1

[Wiccan]

Isn't it a bit problematic to ceate a comic that is meant to show support for LGB people and then put a character prominently on the covers who's main character traits are being a remorseless manipulative killer, who uses his pan-sexual orientation and mind altering pheromones in order to trick people into sexual interactions either to kill them or manipulate them to his desire and goals?

I for one think it's great that they're not worrying about the fact that a ~problematique~ character is LGBT and showcasing that.

I hope Gillen is writing Mr Sinister story.

[Silvermoth]

Looks super cute, can’t wait to read it

Heh I’m just theorizing that all of these one-shots could be preparation for Orlando to write an x-related ongoing.

I hope so, he would be amazing with the xmen

[ChronoRogue]

omg a Karma story?

Go Shan! Get that exposure.

well she finally get a gf and get over kitty, the world will never know...

Anyway happy to see the big two pushing stories like this. They've come a long way from "don't ask, don't tell" era to now. but still gotta ways to go tbh

[Bunch of Coconuts]

Rainbow girl seems like such a random choice to be on the cover.

Why? Her powers are literally rainbows, a symbol of LGBT pride. And she’s a lesbian.

[Tycon]

lmao yeah it couldn’t be more on-brand

Katie Power also left a trail of rainbow light in her wake when she possessed the powers of acceleration



(Power Pack #25) does this mean she's was LGBT at the time?

[starduck]

Cute, I love how the X-men has so many lgbt+ characters

That's not a rainbow trail that a primary color trail.

[dragon1440]

Also in story Canon she is a lesbian and no it's not because of the rainbows. Do you really not know who she is? Calling her rainbow girl is a lil insulting in the way you say it. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Julie_Power_(Earth-616)

[Adam-X]

Rainbow girl seems like such a random choice to be on the cover.

Julia Power? WHY? Because she's definitely made her mark as a young person and her sexuality.

I don't see why that's odd at all.

Isn't she bi?

[Journey]

Sis just seems so irrelevant *shrugs*

Agreed. If Daken was our only rep it would be a problem, but the fact that he's now one of many queer leads is a good thing. We get a diversity of personality/roles within our diversity of sexuality.

[ChronoRogue]

True, there are fair bit of bi or pansexual characters within the X-Men. Lets see off the top of my head...

Confirmed
Mystique
Deadpool ***
Shatterstar the karma against leob lmao
Prodigy
Mercury

Not Outright Stated But...
Shadowcat *
Magik **

* we need some follow-up to that kiss
** magiks propositioned both male and female characters
*** it's more lip-service though, outside of a bit of flirting he's never been shown to have any sexual or romantic relationships with men, but it has been stated by creators he's supposed to be pansexual so...

potentially every Claremazon but particularly Storm. And now Scott and Wolverine have some implications...
