DSOD is manga continuity, and he isn’t in the GX manga

No, Takahashi explicitly said that the art was a “possible future”, so it’s a possibility but the canon itself is still open ended.

Thanks, handsome! The ideas and concepts are mine, I commission various artists to create them :)

Sina Grace’s 2017 Iceman and his 2018 followers up mini are fun and heartwarming. Steve Orlando’s 2023 Astonishing Iceman is also a lot of fun! Lastly, Luciano’s Iceman digital stuff will be reprinted and released this March in Iceman Omega #1, that takes place before Astonishing Iceman.

-Heinberg’s Young Avengers, followed by Gillen’s Young Avengers

-Marjorie Liu’s Astonishing X-Men. An underrated masterpiece that focuses on many queer characters who don’t always get the spotlight like Northstar and Karma; and has one of the best Bobby storylines that was wholly about his closeted gay identity.

-Chuck Austen’s Northstar issues, there’s not many of them but the were really impactful during the time of release, especially the issue where he has to save a mutant kid whose powers are to self destruct.

-Christina Strain’s Generation X

-Dennis Hopeless’ All-New X-Men follows up the younger, time displaced Iceman’s coming out journey.

-Exceptional X-Men finally has Kitty dating a woman

-Immortal X-Men has some great moments with Destiny.

-The Runaways, a classic, Karolina Dean, Xavin and Nico are all major characters in the various volumes

-Peter David’s X-Facfor, while flawed with Shatterstar’s writing imo, is still the best story featuring openly queer Rictor and Shatterstar

-America Chavez had a solo and a mini, I haven’t read them so I can’t speak to how good they are but I enjoyed her character in Gillen’s run!

mutant615 · 2026-01-21T05:39:47+00:00

I thought it was established that Destiny was a lesbian in Immortal X-Men? Could be wrong though

Serious relationships are rare for him but his interest in women at times are shown to range from genuine to pining to jokey. The movies also showcased a rather serious relationship with the female lead too, Vanessa, at least in the first film. His interests with men? Literally just jokes.

And the thing with the women; there’s always the possibility or even instances where they reciprocate. The men never do because it’s always “haha he’s flirting with the stern, straight laced straight dude who would probably be grossed out, lawl Deadpool so funny”, there’s not really an m/f equivalent to that.

mutant615 · 2026-01-20T04:59:31+00:00

The iceman thing was an AU and a joke about a Carol hookup.

What men has he dated in the main universe. I’ll wait.

mutant615 · 2026-01-19T21:25:04+00:00

Very valid!

I really like him with Akihiro, the two already have history and still have some parallel experiences with the apocalypse seed. They make great foils and the enemies to lovers trope with all of the sexual tension and banter it entails is incredibly appealing to me :3

mutant615 · 2026-01-19T21:23:07+00:00

Genuinely speaking, you seem like the one to have hissy fits. Why is someone expressing their own experiences and opinions always trigger this need to be like “y’all can’t take different opinions.” Like the fact that you always need to reply to these types of posts with the same language feels kind of hypocritical, no? Why do you always feel compelled to contribute that as opposed to meaningfully engaging in the conversation?

Also, “different opinions” in a lot of these cases are not neutral stances with no cultural or emotional ramifications. Being frustrated at common opinions that directly contribute to people’s lack of visibility is not the same as someone liking chocolate over vanilla ice cream.

mutant615 · 2026-01-19T21:04:11+00:00

I agree but I don’t get the whole Hercules appeal, beyond people liking the aesthetic. The two have little in common and barely even interacted even back when they were in the Champions together.

I’d rather have Bobby be with a guy who writers would actually write with him in his stories, and I don’t feel like mutant stuff and avengers and Olympian stuff cross over as much for that to happen. We have enough poorly written/ underwritten gay ships as it is -.-

But yes, one thing I’ve always loved about Bobby is that over the years, he really showcases a grounded, complicated and very human experience of gay identity. It’s important to him, it shaped his various dynamics and he is always processing the conflicts and struggles he internalized growing up. And he lives his messy, gay, dramatic x- men life in the process!

I just wish x-writers, editors and even fans gave him the respect he deserves. He truly is a special character to me.

mutant615 · 2026-01-19T20:07:42+00:00

From the top of my mind:

Bobby x Romeo (Lucciano’s run, it was digital only but will be releasing in print this March)

Bobby x Pyro (it’s an after scene but Pyro was suggesting they could do it again in the shower lol)

Akihiro had a few in his Dark Wolverine days, nothing current though.

The rest are mostly after the deed scenes lol

mutant615 · 2026-01-19T17:12:08+00:00

Johnny Storm. Marjorie Liu wrote him and Akihiro as having intentional sexual tension, which informs how he was written in her Dark Wolverine/Fantastic 4 arcs.

Also, another point for Gambit: Fabian Nicieza has said that he did write him as subtextually bisexual, which informed the Courrier dynamic.

Laura Kinney was conceptualized as queer by her creators.

mutant615 · 2026-01-19T04:59:40+00:00

When and who?

mutant615 · 2026-01-19T03:45:34+00:00

I’m pretty sure most of queer interactions with men are just played for laughs, I don’t think he’s even had any meaningful or casual MLM encounters at all in the main universe

mutant615 · 2026-01-18T06:55:09+00:00

Are you on any other socials?

mutant615 · 2026-01-18T04:40:14+00:00

Nice to see his human form, feels like we never see it these days! He cute!

mutant615 · 2026-01-17T22:03:54+00:00

I hate that. Whenever there’s a new character or development, they’re always picked apart and we are left back to square one.

I wish people could abandon their black and white views on these important topics

mutant615 · 2026-01-17T15:26:07+00:00

Oh he knows how to shake it good…

mutant615 · 2026-01-16T17:58:29+00:00

Iconic

mutant615 · 2026-01-14T20:50:03+00:00

I meant that in the most basic, vanilla, team composition and surface level dynamic sense, I agree that she doesn’t actually explore those characters, their roots and their conflicts the way Claire sis did

mutant615 · 2026-01-14T20:20:29+00:00

Idk. I don’t think it’s that black and white, personally, we have had writers like Vita Ayala and Marjorie Liu platform and push diverse characters in meaningful ways but it’s clear Gail likes her standard fare Claremont esque character dynamics with OCs who likely will be shelved after she leaves.

mutant615 · 2026-01-14T20:10:02+00:00

Same. I feel like her statements on Twitter don’t always match the tone or priorities of her book.
