Despite what we may say, we’re total fucking nerds. Like so many nerds, we have a real thing for comic books. Maybe it’s the fantastical elements we find so appealing, or the compelling art, or the fact that in the world of illustration, people are so often more beautiful than any human ever.
We did a little searching – very little – and found a list of a few of the more attractive gay comic books heroes. Aside from the newly lesbianic Batwoman, here are a few notables: Rawhide Kid (like no one knew), the appropriately monikered lesbian villain Scandal, and the ultra hunky Colossus (Pictured here, no doubt reaching for a nice, hard penis) from the X-Men (which is funny, because he used to date Kitty Pryde aka Shadowcat, who always seemed a bit dykey to us).
Yeah, you can definitely tell it’s Friday.

Collosus is only gay in the “Ultimate” series. It’s a whole different X-Verse.

You’re missing out on the first, to my knowledge, outed gay superhero: Northstar of Alpha Flight. It’s little known because he was i) a lame hero, and ii) on an even lamer team. Weren’t they the canadian versions of x-men or something? This happened back in 1991 so, like Ron Burgundy, it was “kind of a big deal.”

close, but obviously not a big enough nerd! the gay colossus never dated kitty. (the kitty pryde gay colossus knows dates Spider Man.) Meanwhile, real Colossus is back alive and back together with real Kitty. He recently gave her an orgasm so amazing that she fell through the floor!
Also, don’t leave out MYSTIQUE, who is maybe transgender but more likely bisexual. And her ex-girlfriend is a serious GMILF.

Lisa: What’s the G in GMILF? I hope it’s not “grand”, Heh.

Wow! I wasn’t aware that the Ultimate series in Marvel had such a different take on the mainstream one.
Maybe it’s time to get back into collecting again. Oh, and FYI…Alpha Flight wasn’t a lamo series when it was first created by John Byrne, and as for Northstar……ummm, I guess he was cool, when he had the twin schizo sister Aurora, and before they found out about their Eldritch origins, which may explain why he is so fey.

I think Colossus was conceived as a gay character. Leave the ‘can’t go all the way with Kitty because…. uh, she’s too young’ stuff—
Back in the 80’s, Chris Claremont started a series of sci-fi paperbacks, the first of which was called ‘First Flight’, and the characters were all very similar to the X-Men. He star of the series was Nicole, a thinly veiled Jean Grey. But the point is: unless my memory is off, the big muscle team member was gay and was obviously Colossus with a different name. Claremont was experimenting with themes that could not be covered in the comics 20 years ago.
In a way, I’m glad that Joss Whedon is finally dealing with the Peter/Kitty thing decisively; but having written a famously gay witch, you’d think he would be down with gay Colossus.

What about Wiccan and Hulkling? They are both 16, cute, ripe and nubile and very, very gay with each other 😀
You could have done some research on Colossus *shakes head*
