Comics Is Colosuss......?

[Manic]

Whether or not he was ever in the closet is debatable. Way back during Millar's run, it was pretty obvious he had a thing for Wolverine. There was even an issue where Peter was talking to him, was about to tell Wolvie how he felt, and Wolvie interrupted him because he knew what was coming.

Before that, Peter walked out on the World Tour because he said no one on the team understands him.

Canadian Rider, can you please tell me what the problem is with ULTIMATE Colosuss being gay? Are you made because marvel suddenly mad him gay out of no where? Let me tell you somethings...

1. This is not the same character as the 616 version, as I'm sure you already know. These characters do NOT have to be the same as the ones which they're based on. The whole POINT of the Ultimate MU was to get more new readers into comics or for old readers to read less confusing stories. Make it feel like it's real. And trust me, there are a LOT of gay people in the world. Some people you know may even be gay which leads me to the next point.

2. Why make him gay? or Why do they have to make gay characters?... What type of question is that? I mean, really, you have no idea how it is to be gay. Do you know how many Gay teens kill themselves because they're gay? Because they feel Unwanted? Because they feel like their feelings are wrong? Don't you get that we know that some people don't like us, even though we are as normal as you? What Marvel did for me, by giving us gay characters, was showed that they accepted us.

We want characters that we can relate to just like you have. I'm sure I'm not the only person who's thought "Why don't they have any gay characters? Why can't Peter parker hook up with Flash or something? This charater or that character is hot. Why can't they show a gay character can be as normal as a straight character?"

3. I've been reading Ultimate X-men since issue 1. It tooks years, hear me, YEARS, For peter to come out. It didn't happen out of nowhere. They've mostly always hinted at it. Years of hinting. What you have to realize is that this book was not for long time readers. Again, It was mostly for people who've probably never read a comic before with characters that they've probably never heard of or know very little about.

As was said before, There are gays all over the world and many of them read comics. Most of us want to relate with a character. We can relate with a straight character, that's no problem, but there is a difference. It's nice that there are gays that are in comics, in music, on tv. Why should we have be closeted?

Hey brother ... it was a long debate. My issue was not the gay/straight issue as much as the A/B/C lister. I get that Colossus was/wasn't and I appreciate your backstory.

My point was that I get frustrated when comics do things half-assed. They still have too many white/straight/grossly athletic heroes that are not representative of the world.

I was debating whether or not Marvel was doing the topic/issue enough respect by choosing Colossus. I get Supermarvelman's point about the number of Character's. It would just be nice for a character in either /any universe of some "importance" / A-lister type to address this.

That was my point.

I wonder if we will ever read a future page where we see Colossus wakin up with in bed with Northstar next to him...t:

Why not wolverine?

Because Wolverine already turned down his advances.

Hey. don't mind me. I was really upset that day (The hype can do that to you) And I only write a lot when I'm upset. No hard feelings.

Understood.

None at all. Be well and I hope this day was better.

i wonder why they chose to make colossus the gay one? out of all the male charcaters why him ? they could have had gambit, angel (would be the obvious choice) or iceman (another obvious).. but why him?

The original writers were going to make Anole gay, but never got around to actually having it see print, and the new writers haven't followed up on it, so thus far, Anole is not gay. The other guy (his name slips my mind too) hasn't shown any signs. The new writers were interviewed and asked about Anole and who he'd hook up with and they just kinda mentioned the other guy as an option as he hasn't been touched on and could easily be made gay.

So as of now, seeing print, neither of those characters are gay.
