Iceman out as gay to the world X-Men #14, and shows why he's an Omega level mutant the procs * iceman gay comic *

However, Infe Frontier #0 a story wrten by Jam Tynn IV wh art by Stephen Byrne, he out as gay. Marvel Comics' 'All New X-Men' will reveal - and retn - Iceman (Bobby Drake) as a gay character. Reboot brought a black Capta Ameri and female Thor - but asi om mori and women, there is another group that is serly unrreprented ics: The gay muny.

Today's issue of All New X-Men (#40) ntas the pivotal moment where Iceman/Bobby Drake (as a younger versn of himself) is rmed by Jean Grey that his thoughts reveal his homosexualy.

The scene plays out wh Bobby wonrg why his olr self (the one prent day X-Men ics) dated women for so long; he ponrs bi-sexualy before beg told, unequivolly, that he is fact gay.

GAY SUPERHERO ICEMAN TO GET HIS OWN COMIC BOOK SERI

Marvel Comics' 'All New X-Men' will reveal - and retn - Iceman (Bobby Drake) as a gay character. How will fans react? * iceman gay comic *

Northstar's Gay Weddg a 2012 X-Men ic book. This is not the first time a character major ic books has been outed as gay: Alpha Flight's Northstar me out 1992, had a gay weddg when he joed the X-Men the 2000s, and even had a csh on Iceman at one pot ( was never acted upon... DC has ma major morn-day characters (like Batwoman) to openly gay figur - while characters like Catwoman and Harley Qun have add dimensns to themselv, beg openly bi-sexual.

If anythg, there uld be cynil qutn as to the choice of makg a character like Iceman to the gay reveal; 's not exactly as high-stak as makg, say, Wolvere, Cyclops, Mago or Prof. There aren't that many homosexual ic book characters.

KNOWLEDGE WAS: THE POSSIBLE HTS OVER THE YEARS THAT ICEMAN IS GAY

Jt a few years after g out as gay, the X-Men superhero will be gettg his own ic book seri. * iceman gay comic *

The list pretty much drops to zero, unls you're a really big Northstar 's why fans reacted shock to leaked pag om tomorrow's (April 22) "All-New X-Men #40, " which reveal that foundg member of the X-Men, Iceman, is gay.

Marvel Comics' former 'Iceman' wrer Sa Grace penned an say scribg his algs wh Marvel and the obstacl he faced wrg a gay character. * iceman gay comic *

We won't lk the pag here, but suffice to say based on the dialogue -- where Jean Grey lets Iceman knows he's over-pensatg wh sexualized remarks about female members of the team to ver up his homosexualy -- 's pretty clear that Iceman is 100%, fely out of the closet. Complitg matters a way only ic books n is that this is a versn of Iceman om back when the ics first lnched (Marvel has a slidg timele, so while technilly he's om the 1960s, only a few years have passed ic book time), who traveled forward to "now" and has met his current the issue, the characters even wonr why, if Iceman is gay, that his olr self is not. "Speakg of sensivy, other than the lack of homosexual characters on the page, the treatment of the few LGBT characters ics have hasn't been the most sensive.

Often when a character out, that be their fg characteristic, statg, "I'm gay, " or mentg on a member of the same sex's attractivens every Iceman's new-found sexualy, this archaic practice will go the way of the dodo. As mentned, plitg matters is that the young Iceman is officially gay, while the olr, now Iceman is not.
