Which actually kinda makes me wonder, if it does turn out that the next issue will reveal Hyperion as gay, if the reveal itself is editorially-mandated, possibly to avoid the exact situation that happened with Secret Warriors, where Hickman never actually showed Stonewall's sexuality on-panel. It may be that Hickman never actually intended to reveal which Avenger is LGBT (presumably because he felt that it was irrelevant to the story), so editorial said, "OK, fine, we'll get a different writer to do a one-off issue to get it on-panel."
