DEATH HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOMETHG OF A REVOLVG DOOR SUPERHERO ICS, AND THAT’S PARTICULARLY THE SE FOR THE X-MEN, WHO ARE STRONGLY ASSOCIATED WH SMIC FORC OF ATH AND RURRECTN.JONATHAN HICKMAN’S X-MEN RELNCH TOOK THE UNUAL STEP OF ACKNOWLEDGG THIS OM THE OUTSET, GIVG THE MUTANTS THEIR OWN WAY OF RURRECTG ANYBODY WHO HAS DIED. THIS IS ACHIEVED THROUGH A BATN OF CEREBRO MENTAL RERDGS AND FIVE MUTANT POWERS WORKG SYNERGY. IN A TWIST, THOUGH, GERRY DUGGAN’S MARRS SUGGTED FAN-FAVORE KTY PRY ULD BE THE EXCEPTN TO THE LE – AND THAT WAS TTED WHEN KTY DIED, KILLED BY SEBASTIAN SHAW. EVEN IF SHE IS EVENTUALLY RURRECTED, THIS HAS LONG GONE BEYOND THE PALE TO SHEER IRRATN, AND ANYONE WHO PUTS THEIR MONEY TO THE WRERS’ POCKETS IS OUT OF THEIR MDS. BUT NOW, AS IF THIS WEREN’T BAD ENOUGH, SCREEN RANT CID, RATHER ABSURDLY, TO ACCE MARVEL OF “QUEERBAG”, BEE THEY’D RATHER KILL OFF KTY THAN EXPLORE THE IA OF TURNG SHADOWT MORE NOTICEABLY LBIAN: MARVEL COMICS NEED TO STOP QUEERBAG THE X-MEN’S KTY PRY. CREATED BY THE LEGENDARY CHRIS CLAREMONT AND JOHN BYRNE, KTY PRY HAS BEE ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR X-MEN. THAT’S PARTLY BEE SHE HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO BE TRODUCED AS A TEENAGE CHARACTER JT WHEN MANY OF THE X-MEN’S MOST MTED FANS WERE TEENAGERS; SHE BEME THEIR VIEWPOT CHARACTER, AND MANY S THEIR CSH. HER POPULARY IS DITED BY JT HOW MANY WRERS HAVE SPERATELY ATTEMPTED TO TURN KTY TO THE PERFECT CHARACTER FOR THEIR N. SHE’S A PUTER HACKER, A NJA, A SHIELD AGENT, A BARMAID, A PIRATE… THE LIST IS STAGGERG.SHE IS ALSO, UNFORTUNATELY, WELL KNOWN FOR HER POOR RELATNSHIP CHOIC. KTY’S FIRST LOVE WAS COLOSS, AKA PTR RASPUT, AND WAS A SGULARLY BAD IA – NOT LEAST BEE OF THE AGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO CHARACTERS. HER FIRST ACTUAL LOVER APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN EXLIBUR’S PETE WISDOM, WHICH IS ACTUALLY PRETTY STRANGE, BEE HE WAS BASILLY WRER WARREN ELLIS’ SELF-SERT THE X-MEN ICS. AND AT ONE POT KTY FLEW WH THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, GETTG ENGAGED TO PETER QUILL. WHEN ASKED ABOUT HER APPARENT OBSSN WH GUYS NAMED “PETER,” KTY ADMTED WAS BEE SHE HAD A STUFFED TOY WH THAT NAME WHEN SHE WAS A CHILD. EVEN ALTERNATE-UNIVERSE VERSNS OF KTY SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME TERT PETERS, WH THE ULTIMATE KTY PRY DATG HER UNIVERSE’S SPIR-MAN. UMM, I THK THEY ADDRSED THE POT THE ICS PROPER BACK THE EARLY 80S. COLOSS REALIZED KTY WAS TOO YOUNG AT THE TIME, BEG ABOUT 13 AND BELOW STATUTORY LEVELS, WHILE HE WAS 5-6 YEARS OLR. BY 1985, THEY BROKE UP, AND THOUGH SHE EVENTUALLY PROGRSED MORE TO 16 WHEN EXLIBUR ME ABOUT, WAS ONLY MORE RECENT TIM THAT SUDNLY, THEY CID TO EXPLORE A COLOSS/SHADOWT RELATNSHIP AGA, WHICH ONLY RULTED THE STUPID STORY WHERE KTY CID SHE ULDN’T GO THROUGH WH A WEDDG, AND GROUND TO A HALT (ROGUE AND GAMB GOT MARRIED STEAD). IT WASN’T HER IA EHER, BUT RATHER, CLAREMONT’S, TO HAVE HER AND COLOSS HOOK UP FOR STARTERS. IN AMONG THE STRG OF PETERS, HOWEVER, THERE’S A CUR FACT; MARVEL WRERS HAVE NSISTENTLY HTED KTY PRY IS QUEER. THIS STARTED THE CHRIS CLAREMONT ERA, AND HE BEGAN TO SUBTLY NNECT KTY WH ILLYANA RASPUT, THE YOUNG MUTANT LLED MAGIK. BACK THEN, THE COMICS CO AUTHORY OWNED ON ANY PORTRAYAL OF HOMOSEXUALY, BISEXUALY, OR ANYTHG ELSE THAT WOULD BE SEEN AS LGBTQ+. AS A RULT, CLAREMONT HAD TO KEEP SUBTLE; BUT THE TWO WERE STILL CLOSE ENOUGH THAT KTY ULD DRAW MAGIK’S SOULSWORD, A MYSTIL BOND SUGGTG CREDIBLE TIMACY. LATER, CLAREMONT BEGAN TO VELOP A CLOSER RELATNSHIP BETWEEN KTY PRY AND HER FELLOW X-(WO)MAN RACHEL GREY, AND HE NSIRED RACHEL THE LOVE OF KTY’S LIFE. AGA, THOUGH, HE HAD TO AVOID MAKG OVERT. FSTRATGLY, MARVEL NTUED WH THAT APPROACH EVEN AS THE COMICS CO AUTHORY’S FLUENCE WANED.AND THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, IS HOW THGS HAVE STAYED SCE. MARVEL HAS REGULARLY TEASED KTY PRY MAY WELL BE BISEXUAL, BUT THEY’VE NEVER VELOPED . CLAREMONT HAS ATTEMPTED TO PH THE ISSUE EVERY TIME HE’S RETURNED TO THE X-MEN LE; KTY ALMOST SHARED A KISS WH THE LBIAN KARMA THE MEKANIX MISERI 2003, AND 2010’S X-WOMEN ONE-SHOT HE HAD RACHEL AND KTY EMBRACE A MANNER THAT SEEMED MORE TIMATE THAN JT IENDS. BUT – WHETHER DUE TO HIS OWN RELUCTANCE OR EDORIAL FIAT – HE’S NEVER GONE ANY FURTHER. JONATHAN HICKMAN’S X-MEN RELNCH HAS SEEN KTY STEP UP AS KATE PRY, LEAR OF THE MARRS; EVEN THIS MORN ERA, THOUGH, MARVEL SEEM TO REFE TO GO BEYOND QUEERBAG. KATE JOED ICEMAN AT A GAY BAR, BUT THAT’S ABOUT . SO, THEY’RE SAYG SHE’S “QUEER”, BUT NOT BISEXUAL? EHER WAY, THE WHOLE OBSSN WH TURNG EVERY TABLISHED CHARACTER EVEN REMOTELY HOMOSEXUAL IS GETTG LGHABLE ALREADY, AND ’S PRACTILLY LED TO THE RECENT OBSSN WH PICTG HOMOSEXUALY A POSIVE, ACCEPTABLE LIGHT. IT GO WHOUT SAYG SR’S FAILURE TO ADM THE SECRATN OF ICEMAN’S CHARACTER IS WORSE, AS SCE THE TIME BENDIS PULLED THAT STUNT, BOBBY DRAKE’S BEE ALMOST EXCLIVELY HOMOSEXUAL, TO THE POT WHERE HE REJECTS THE OPPOSE SEX, AND ALL MARVEL RED ABOUT WHEN TURNG OUT THOSE FAILED SOLO BOOKS IS SHOVG BOBBY’S NEWFOUND HOMOSEXUALY DOWN THE DIENCE’S THROATS. IF KTY’S REVIVED JT SO THEY N DO THE SAME, THAT’LL BE ATROC. I DON’T THK WAS EVER IMPLIED KTY WAS BISEXUAL THE 80S EHER WHEN MAGIK WAS AROUND, THOUGH MIGHT’VE BEEN IMPLIED STORM WAS(!). THIS WEEK’S EXLIBUR #10 IS ONE OF THE WORST EXAMPL OF QUEERBAG SO FAR. FEATURG A SURPRISE MEO BY THE MARRS, AND DIALOGUE SUBTLY IMPLYG KATE AND RACHEL ARE AN EM. THE STORY IS REVEALED TO BE AN ILLORY REALY CREATED BY THE AGMENTED MD OF JAMIE BRADDOCK, SO ISN’T NON AT ALL — THERE, KATE PRY HAS ACTUALLY BEEN SGLED OUT OM HER MUTANT FAY AND KILLED. IT’S TE MARRS #10 IMPLIED THE X-MEN MAY BE LOOKG AT CREATIVE WAYS OF BRGG HER BACK, BUT ’S TOO SOON TO SAY WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL SUCCEED. AND SO, FOR NOW AT LEAST, THAT IS THE END OF KATE PRY’S STORY; SHE IS SENTIALLY MARVEL’S MOST PROMENT EXAMPLE OF QUEERBAG.DEATH IS A REVOLVG DOOR SUPERHERO ICS. WHETHER THE X-MEN SUCCEED RURRECTG KATE PRY OR NOT, SHE’S GUARANTEED TO E BACK SOONER OR LATER. AND WHEN SHE DO, ’S TIME FOR MARVEL TO MAKE UP THEIR MDS AND STOP TEASG REARS. THE X-MEN ICS ARE SUPPOSED TO STAND FOR TOLERANCE, EQUALY AND DIVERSY, AND THIS KD OF QUEERBAG SHOULD REALLY BE NSIGNED TO THE HISTORY BOOKS. AND THIS KD OF CREATN-HIJACKG FOR POLIL AGENDAS HAS GOT TO BE STOPPED. IT’S BEEN GOG FOR NEARLY A QUARTER CENTURY, AND HASN’T LED ANYWHERE POSIVE. IF ANYTHG, MARVEL SHOULD NOT HAVE KILLED HER, EVEN IF ATH’S A REVOLVG DOOR. NOR SHOULD THEY BE GOG OUT OF THEIR WAY TO TABLISH HER AS LBIAN, AND E TO THK OF , IF THERE’S A CHANCE TO HAVE KTY PRY AND PTR RASPUT MARRY, THEN GO FOR . OR BETTER YET, MARRY HER TO A NON-SUPERPOWERED CIVILIAN, JT TO PROVE THEY N BE LS SULAR AND MORE CREATIVE. ONE MORE THG: ATH MAY BE A REVOLVG DOOR SUPERHERO ICS, BUT NOT ONLY THERE. IT’S HAPPENED OTHER SCIENCE-FANTASY PRODUCTS TOO, IF YOU KNOW WHERE TO LOOK, CLUDG THE 1994 STARGATE MOVIE THAT LED TO THE LONG-NNG SCI-FI TV SERI. AND ’S NOT HERENTLY WRONG TO MATA ATH’S REVERSIBLE SCI-FI. OTHERWISE, WHERE WOULD THE CREATIVY AND VENTIVENS BE?
