Seri artist Brett Booth has revealed that Bunker will but November's Issue 3 -- he's referred to as "The Wall" the solicatn text -- where he's picted as an openly gay teen om Mexi who "n create small force fields that look like bricks. "We're tryg to make beg gay a part of who he is, " Booth wrote last night on Twter.
Bunker isn't the first gay Tan -- that was probably Hero Cz of Tans L. A., although there was a lot of fan speculatn about Jericho when he buted 1984 -- but he's (likely) the first gay teen troduced to the post-Flashpot DC Universe.

I've seen all the other gay superhero out there, Ok maybe not all. We wanted to show an tertg character who's homosexualy is part of him, not somethg that's hidn.
