IS DEADPOOL GAY, BISEXUAL OR STRAIGHT? WHAT IS MARVEL CANON?
Deadpool is one of Spir-Man's (self-proclaimed) bt iends! Fd other pansexual ic characters the Biost Database of Gay Comic Characters. * deadpool gay comics *
The first explicly gay superhero Marvel Comics was North Star, a mutant and X-Men off-shoot om Alpha Flight #7 2011. Sce then, one of the origal X-Men, Iceman/Bobby Drake, was revealed to be gay last year’s Iceman seri.
The scene was subversive to the mastream, and enarg to many young and alienated LGBTQ geeks, bee was an obv metaphor for gay pri—and the poison of homophobia—durg the height of the Bh Years when gay bashg and homophobia went very mastream. Bh would n a succsful reelectn mpaign that, among other thgs, falsely promised to create a nstutnal amendment banng gay marriage.
While CW’s superhero televisn shows have actually been rryg the flag recent years by makg a number of ma characters gay, lbian, and bi on Legends of Tomorrow, The Flash, Arrow, and Supergirl, those seri are still targeted to a relatively small, young, and socially liberal (read: likemd) dience the U. But Cha, and s ernment’s censors, are notorly behd on gay rights. Gay relatnships were a punishable offense until 1997 the People’s Republic, and those who participated them were still rerd as sufferg om a “mental disorr” until 2001.
'DEADPOOL 2' IS THE GAYT SUPERHERO MOVIE YET. THAT'S NOT SAYG MUCH.
Y and Negasonic Teenage Warhead are the first openly gay superhero cema. But Deadpool 2's simply taken a small first step. * deadpool gay comics *
To this day, movi wh explicly gay relatnships are banned Cha, as well as other smaller markets.
The Comics Co Authory banned any suggtns of homosexualy ic books until 1989 Ameri, and wasn't until the 2000s that LGBT characters started to feature more stand-alone stori. Northstar, real name Jean-Pl Bebier, is one of the first openly gay characters Amerin ic book history. The character buted durg the height of the AIDS sre and was explicly stated as gay 1992's Alpha Flight #106.

Bobby Drake's sexualy was never addrsed then, though he has sce e out as gay after an altertn wh Jean Grey 2015's All-New X-Men. A teenaged versn of Iceman who has been pulled out of time has his md read by the telepath, outg that he is gay.
Apollo is another of Marvel's first openly gay characters, origally butg the Stormwatch seri.
Durg a drastic DC reboot, his character was revealed to be gay Jam Robson's Earth-Two seri. This is blatant panrg to fans of the homoerotic iendship of Peter Parker and Wa Wilson—universally shorthand as Spiypool.

So far, the ic seems mted to explorg the homoerotic elements of Spiypool’s often-antagonistic relatnship—or at least puttg plenty of gay jok about . Queerbag is generally seen as exploative and homophobic, sce arguably fans are beg asked to settle for homoerotic subtext li of meangful queer reprentatn. Acrdg to rmatn leaked the famo Sony hacks, a licensg agreement between Marvel and Sony clus a ntractual “Character Integry Obligatn, ” which stat that Peter Parker’s character n never be portrayed onscreen as gay.
Other, alternate versns of Spir-Man n be portrayed as gay or queer only provid that “Marvel has portrayed that alter ego as a homosexual. Some fans have argued that wrer Kelly’s general portrayal of Deadpool is homophobic. Numero Deadpool wrers along the way, cludg Kelly, have tried to mimize his queerns or -gay him, some by puttg “no homo” ments that attempt to “straighten” his character.
“Deadpool also gets to fly unr other rears’ gaydar as straight passg bee the character never acts on any sexual and/or romantic urg that are not prented as heterosexual, ” wrote Comic Book Rource’s Brett Whe last year.
