The only prerequisite for joining the Green Team is possession of at least one million dollars, primarily in cash. The boys pay fortunes to anyone who can offer them a worthy adventure. In their first story, they fund the "Great American Pleasure Machine," a sort of roller coaster ride that brings so much pleasure, it drives the villain of the piece insane.

Hah, so when they rebooted they left Commodore Murphy and J.P. Houston the same, flipped Cecil's gender to Cecilia, and just straight up swapped out the african-american Abdul Smith for middle-eastern prince Mohammad Qahtanii because gently caress it look a token character is a token character?

I'm sure 'last survivor of a once mighty race' is meant to sound impressive, like Bi-Beast is so tough he outlived all the other Bi-Beasts...

But I can't help but think that most Bi-Beasts might as well have died in a huge catastrophy or war or whatnot and this Bi-Beast was simply lucky to not have been there.

top head's not even angry in that picture, bottom bunk is just embarrassed and pulling top's bottom lip into a frown. every time bottom head gets surprised top head bites his tongue

When's Gabby's sexuality ever come up one way or the other?

616 Logan is probably about halfway between straight and bi on the Kinsey scale. Like, he's definitely been in more than one Devil's Triangle, but I don't think bi would be an accurate description.

X Men red # 2. Phone posting but she asked Jean not to read her mind since she’s still trying to figure out her feelings for a girl she saw on the bus.

Granted she’s a kid trying to figure things out, but Tom Taylor left the door open on that one.

They teased it back before they were allowed to outright say that sort of thing.



The best alternate-universe Logan is married to Hercules. Don't know how much that says about 616, but I think it was a 'If his life had taken a different path' thing rather than straight up entirely different save for the name.

Thinking about this I really don't like the Logan/Herc pairing. I just think Logan wouldn't put up with Hercules's poo poo, they'd wind up fighting all the time, and it would wind up being a cold marriage where Logan was determined to save it while Hercules just didn't give a gently caress.

Kurt's the obvious husband material and would be way more in tune with Logan's feelings. There's plenty of other options, too, it's mainly that I'd expect Hercules to be a lovely husband in general unless his spouse could get their needs through to him. Logan's too closed off.

Herc and Logan could be drinking buddies. Husbands just feels wrong.

That was the joke I was trying to make. I don't know if it was ever confirmed that Kate is bi, I figured it was America loving with her.
