LGBT+ Marvel Characters Discussion

[Alex_Of_X]

You are doing a fantastic job.

Echoing the statement--seeing this thread thriving on the first page gives me great joy! Keep up the great work

Speaking of threads--this week's "Spider-Man" #2 featured Web-Weaver, the new canon Gay spider-person!

Agreed. I'm a lurker more than a poster but I check your "this week in gay" every week to see if there was something I missed.

I wish someone did this for DC as well. I greatly appreciate the effort.

The Invincible Beawulf maintains a magnificently updated thread for DC LGBT+ characters, which underscores that DC is light years ahead of Marvel in terms of queer rep: https://community.cbr.com/showthread...2-appreciation

I did not know about that. Thank you.

The Week In Gay:

Looks like there were 17 new physical comic books released this week. Let's see how many had any LGBT+ representation....

A.X.E. Judgement Day Omega #1 - the conclusion to the A.X.E. event and to Kieron Gillen's run on The Eternals. Sprite, Makkari, Ajak and Starfox all appear, and Phastos makes a comment at least implying he may be bisexual. Past series showed him married to a woman, but here he makes a reference to "men I have held whom time has taken away from me".

Avengers #62 - Vnn, the Starbrand of the prehistoric Avengers, appears in this issue which ends with the present-day Avengers coming face to face with the prehistoric Avengers for the first time.

Legion Of X #7 - Pixie and Stacy X both appear

Marauders #8 - in addition to the multiple LGBT members on the main team we also get appearances from Jumbo Carnation (who designs special bio-hazard uniforms for the team's new mission) and Christian Frost. Tempo has a new romance.

Spider-Man #2 - the "End Of The Spider-Verse" arc continues, with appearances by many alternate universe spiders--including Web-Weaver and Sun-Spider.

Wolverine #27 - Deadpool and Iceman appear

X-Men Legends #4 - Kitty Pryde is in this flashback tale set shortly after the original LONGSHOT miniseries from the 80s. Mojo's right hand man Major Domo was giving me gay vibes here, but I dunno if that was intentional or not.

For the digital comics Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic #24 continued the Nova and Viv Vision arc.

As always, please let me know if I've missed anything!

UPDATE!

Damage Control #4 of 5 - Hercules has a small guest appearance and Loki has a brief cameo.

The Week In Gay:

It looks like there were about 13 new Marvel releases this week -- not counting Star Wars, reprints, or digital exclusives.

Blade: Vampire Nation #1 - Dracula appears in this one-shot.

Immortal X-Men #8 - Mystique is the POV character for this issue, which is set in the past with Mystique, Destiny and Mister Sinister.

Thunderbolts #4 - America Chavez is part of the team

Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic #25 - conclusion to the Nova arc guest starring Viv Vision

Looks like that's it for this week! If I missed anything, let me know....

The Pixie one is new to me. She never had a love interest in the books I have with her.

Thanks for the heads up about Thunderbolts being out. My pick-ups have been off since that hospital stop.

Pixie was revealed when she guest starred in Runaways, I believe.
Then you have her excited to be a voyeur to Loa and Mercury in Way of X.

Yes, Pixie was flirting with Nico Minoru in RUNAWAYS and they almost kissed before Nico remembered she already has a girlfriend and stopped herself. The writer of the issue (Rainbow Rowell) confirmed on Twitter that she was writing Pixie as bisexual.

Apparently an alternate version of Pixie was also LGBT in one of the various tie-ins to Hickman's SECRET WARS. That isn't necessarily relevant to the 616 version, of course--but it was probably where the idea of Pixie being bisexual first popped up.

Almost classic Nico .

I just made an update to the "Week In Gay" list from two weeks ago to include DAMAGE CONTROL #4. My local comic shop didn't get their copies of that one until this week due to a shipping error.

Just curious, since when is Daimon Hellstrom is considered queer or show same sex attraction?

Since he came onto Wiccan. They were in a team book together.
