They hate half their audience and hate making money, apparently.

Marvel fails to realize all their recent success is due to the fact that they’ve not gone SJW in their film-making. In order to guarantee and end to such success, and bring about swift failure, they announce future movies will be spew-inducing homo propaganda.

Well, that’ll be the death of the MCU for me and my family.

The first is the obvious one. In the pages of Alpha Flight, which is the Canadian superhero group, there is Northstar. In the comics, his real name is Jean-Paul Beaubier, a French Canadian. In fact, he is the only married gay person in the Marvel Universe, and his marriage is the one and only time that a gay marriage was shown in comics.

The other gay character is the X-Man known as Iceman. Bobby Drake is the character’s name. The only reason he was outed as gay was that Jean Grey accidentally read his mind and found out about it.

And I remember, and still have my Alpha Flight #1...

Bobby Drake was never gay - he was in love with Kitty Pryde. This whole “turn him gay” thing is a “time-displaced alternate version” of him. Uh, well, whatever. It’s comic books, it’s supposed to be fantasy. Frankly, if homosexual people are 6% of the population as many studies suggest, there should be only 3-4 gay superhero people anyway, right? 6% of already .1% of the population of the comic books.

I thought they were 3% of the population?

I’ve heard anywhere from 3% to 6%... and some claiming that it’s 10%, which is incredibly high...
