LGBT+ Marvel Characters Discussion

The Week In Gay:

Black Cat #2

Maestro: War & Pax #1 of 5 - Peter David revisits The Pantheon from his original INCREDIBLE HULK run, including the openly gay Hector.

That's it. It was a pretty light week for new releases though.

The April solicits were released this week though, which had some good news--such as Hulkling and Wiccan apparently joining the cast of GOTG.

The current IRON MAN writer, Christopher Cantwell, recently came out as bisexual on Twitter.

Someone mentioning Toni Ho in the Young Avengers thread got me thinking of LGBT characters in the big marvel “families.”

Especially females.
Iron Man: Toni Ho
Captain America: Rikki Barnes
Hulk: Dr Mc Gowan; Is Lyra bisexual??
Spider-man: ????????
Thor: Valkyrie

[lunarmagik]

Thor family also has Angela and Sera, no?

You’re right.

And obviously the Captain Marvel family has Phyla and Teddy, Mar-Vell’s own kids

Lyra may be bisexual, but if so it hasn't ever been confirmed as far as I can find.

As Frontier pointed out there is Black Cat for the Spider-Man books. Also Odessa Drake. And if you're not just looking for women, there's also Max Modell and his husband Hector Baez.

A few of those books have some more LGBT supporting characters if you're not just looking for women.

wait is Black Cat bi or lesbian now?

I know she's been New Yorks big crime lord for a bit now but I guess I've missed her romantic plot points

Bisexual. It was actually established a long time ago (early 2000s for 616-Felicia, and the Felicia of the alternate future of SPIDER-GIRL was shown to be bi before that), but no one ever brought it up again until the current BLACK CAT creative team. She doesn't have a girlfriend (or boyfriend) currently, but the series did acknowledge a girlfriend from her past.

Black Cat's stint as the "Queenpin of crime" has been over for a while now (thankfully) and she's back to being a highly skilled thief who targets heroes and villains alike, and is an occasional Spider-Man ally.

Max Modell?

Someone mentioned him. I guess even though I mentioned Dr McGowan, I meant more a superhero LGBT than a supporting character.

Vote Tempo, she was in a romantic relantionship with feral in the age of x reality, so she is an lgbt character

I’m not shocked Tempo is but I was for Feral.

But the only person we saw her lust after, to no avail, was Shatterstar.

Funny that another Liefield creation ended up being queer.

That means at one time in the 90s, three mutants were on X-Force at the same time, that would later be revealed as queer.

Just looking at the Jim Lee blue gold era:

X-men blue: Betsy
X-Men Gold: Iceman
Excalibur: Shadowcat
X-Force: Shatterstar, Feral and then Rictor.

Lola and Rafferty from Silk's book.

And I guess Annabelle Riggs is attached to the Thor fam through Valkyrie.

The X-Men have a few - Karma, Mercury, Bling, Mystique, Destiny (dead, but still a player), Betsy Braddock and, most recently, Shadowcat, iirc.

I already know the X-men.

I was going for Marvel’s main solo heroes.
