Marvel's Iceman is gay.
Not like everyone knows he's a shitty character.....like he's been outed as a homosexual.
http://www.inquisitr.com/2033220/x-m...es-out-as-gay/ Marvel’s X-Men has always been known for tackling some of the most important human rights issues of the day, the most recent of which is gay rights; the first few movies from the current string of movies worked as a metaphor for gay rights, with mutants being told that they weren’t “natural” and being offered a cure for their “illness.” Now, the new issue of All New X-Men has revealed that one of the founders of the titular team of superheroes – Bobby Drake, aka Iceman – is gay. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, lead writer on the series Brian Michael Bendis has said that there are millions of stories that could be told about people either confronting or hiding their sexuality, and that the X-Men series was a good way to examine such stories. He also noted that this is only the beginning of a larger story that will unfold across several more issues of All New X-Men. “There are thousands, if not millions, of stories of people who, for many different reasons, felt the need to hide their sexuality. The X-Men, with the conceit of time travel, give us a fascinating platform in which to examine such personal journeys. This is just the first little chapter of a much larger story that will be told.” However, Bendis has also said that he didn’t want to make sensationalist headlines, particularly negative ones, saying he just wanted the issue to come out and be enjoyed. This new storyline deviates from both the comic’s original run and the plotline developed for the X-Men film series, which set up a story of a relationship between Iceman and the female character Rogue. In the time-twisting issue of All-New X-Men, Jean Grey – the X-Men’s resident telepath – travels back in time and reads the mind of a young Iceman, revealing that he was gay when he was a teenager. She later returns to present day to alert the older Iceman of her discovery. The Iceman news comes after Marvel has announced several changes to its canonical characters in an attempt to make its comic books more accessible to a new generation of readers. Previously, the company gave a woman the power and name of Thor, gave the black Sam Wilson the mantel of Captain America, and made a Muslim teenager the new Ms. Marvel. The new issue of All New X-Men is currently available in all comic book retailers. |

****ing dumb.. And I like iceman, they never use his power correctly.. He is one of the most powerful mutants in existence, and they make him a bitch. You know who is a closeted gay xmen? Storm. That shit is easy to write because there is tons of history for it. But that does not fit the liberal agenda in altering older male comic characters. |

Comix companies create new characters all the time. He's not even close to the first gay comix character either. If you want to adjust to the times do just that. Have your next new character be gay/lesbian. There's no reason to take a guy who was clearly strait and change him for anything but publicity and headlines.

What's the big deal? Characters have been retconned ad nauseum from the very beginning. ESPECIALLY xmen characters.

You guys are slacking. No "Ambiguously Gay Duo" links? No YouTube embed of the He Man "What's Going On?" song? No Batman and Robin "Batpole" jokes?
