Too often mastream media, gay and lbian characters are ntered om the start or stantly paired off for life. Origal wrer and -creator Allan Heberg was famoly surprised when Marvel gave him the go-ahead to create a gay teen uple; took them more than five years to actually kiss on-panel, but Billy and Teddy have played a huge role for a now helpg young gay rears see themselv on the page, tangibly fluencg the urse of the Marvel universe. Wh the Big Two’s reluctance to marry off s major characters, Kyle and Northstar have one of the only high-profile marriag — gay or straight — left ics.

Anole was slated to m suici a story that would teach (straight) character Helln a lson about bullyg, but survived that poorly nceived plot to bee one of mastream ic’s least typil gay characters — one not fed by his romantic relatnships.
