Not as far as I know. But the idea that she, America, Gwen and probably Clint don't dunk on him any chance they get seems inconceivable to me. A-force and Hawkeye Had so much of that.

Looking forward to him trying to sneak a look into Gwen’s mind and discovering not only does she know everything about him but also everything about him he had absolutely no idea of (his entire existence resulting from the fictional scribblings of an insane bald Scotsman).

Wait...did they bring Quentin back after New X-Men?

Boy, that must have sucked.

It was actually really good. Jason Aaron made him one of the main characters in Wolverine and the X-Men, and his crappy attitude was real entertaining. He also made an appearance in Aaron's Thor.

I still can't believe the one on the left is the cover of a Marvel comic book about their most popular character at the time.

Also please note the placement of the beer bottle.

I once was at a show where I asked Esad about this cover.

Esad is a big, cheerful, man with a wicked sense of humor.

He just looked at me.

And then he smiled.

And the smile got bigger.

And bigger.

And he said, “And nobody at Marvel noticed!”

And then he couldn’t stop laughing.

We need more Esad Ribics and less Greg Lands, please. I say this as a guy who feels there isn't enough gay presence in comics. Not all characters have to have some semblance of the queer spectrum in them, but queer folk read comics, too, it's just leaving money on the table. And I also say this as a guy who has never been with a dude, and doesn't really feel attracted to them. I just think excluding sexuality like it doesn't exist is bad storytelling.

Also if you follow that ladies tweet thread you'll see former UFC fighter Nate Quarry 100% agree with her logic. Good to see combat sports isn't populated exclusively by homophobic meatheads.

Herc is bisexual in the main 616 continuity unless that's been retconned.

Out of curiosity do you know offhand where that's established? I thought so too but when I went looking for in-comic evidence awhile back I was surprised that I couldn't find it-- I think it comes up in some one-off when he was briefly dead but I couldn't track that down.

Edit: Nevermind, I found it! In Hercules: Fall of an Avenger it's *strongly* suggested that he's had a fling with Northstar and, depending on how you want to read the panel, Namor. Axel Alonso later said in an interview that 616 was canonically straight but my interpretation is that Axel Alonso is full of poo poo.

I don't. I remember the panels, it was established when he died (and also in the you know, actual greek myths upon whom the character was based). I think it was a memorial service or something and Northstar looks all side-eyed when there's a mention of "those who loved him" or something.

e;fb by the person I'm failing to answer the question for.

And Namor has definitely hosed dudes, or fish things that would be described as male

There's a lot of justifiable complaints about how Alan Moore uses sex (and specifically sexual violence) in his comics, but Night Owl only being able to get it up when he was in costume was a decent gag in The Watchmen.

It's canonical in the Flash universe that the biggest villain in the Flash universe is, in fact, the Flash.

Flash has always been stupid as hell. Half the time he gets in trouble it's because he forgets he can vibrate through solid objects or some other power of his.
