@Blood1991: Hawkeye actually uses a Loins Quiver for his sex arrows. ba-dum CHING!

@cbnnexus Noooooooooo. You have it all wrong! 1986 Thor would never harm a child. He is righteous and pure and perfect.

@cattlebattle: Yeah; I believe it was part of Fall of the Mutants but I'm too lazy to look. Edit: I meant Mutant Massacre.

@Joygirl: I was being a bit snarky and over-the-top in a cringe-worthy way for sure. After I Googled "Marvel DC comics gay" or something like that and read the headlines/stories that popped, the whole idea of gay characters in comics did feel really cheap. I mean, the gay wedding was announced on The View? Really? Who was that even for?!

I really do like your idea of a What If? with more gay characters. cheesy and over-the-top would be cool but you know, DC has Earth 2 as an on-going title now so maybe some of the big names really could be gay for real........in an alternate universe.

Original queer characters would be nice, though. I guess I just don't hope that high for DC and Marvel. And though it'd be cool, I don't think we'll be seeing an established character at DC or Marvel go through a gender transition anytime soon. At least not the kind I'm talking about.

@cattlebattle: Deadpool and Spiderman would get an on-going series where they were secretly straight but had to pretend to be a married couple in order to infiltrate a new terrorist organization.

THIS STUFF JUST WRITES ITSELF!

@joshmightbe: I know; I'm afraid it's going to be Jimmy Olsen. I'll be honest; I've only read a few things with him in it and I'm not a big enough Superman fan to have seen how he is portrayed in any movies or shows. I don't like the idea of a weak, mostly side-lined character being gay. That just seems like a cop-out. I want another gay hero. Or, and this is super risque, a gay villain. I hate that liked Kevin Smith's pseudo-gay Joker which probably makes that a really great idea...

Since people are actually reading this, I'd like to clarify that I am a queer lady myself and would seriously love to see more LGBTQ folks in comics. Batwoman is currently the pinnacle of queer awesomeness in comics (even though her current story line is dragging on and making me miserable) and I'd like to see that challenged.

Makes me wish variants weren't so expensive because it would actually be cool to draw on it.

@BlueLantern1995: Where did you read that the Inhumans script is ready? I think the blog posts I read were at least a few months old and I didn't really see anything more recent.

Also, why the "guys especially"? I'm a woman and the Inhumans are my absolute favorite Marvel characters. I own all of the modern Inhumans stories and I would be REALLY excited to see an Inhumans movie.

Ooh. I want in on this.

Blackbolt (& the Inhumans) would make for an interesting re-imagining as anime.
