What is he going to do, rearrange furniture?

You beat me to it. That was The Dana Carvey Show wasn't it? Robert Smigel?

It was on SNL too.

And people wonder why that was so short lived a show? Not.

I loved that show. I was watching reruns of it the other day on HULU and noticed that Steve Carrell and Steve Colbert were on it.
 
Whoever it is, I hope they mack on Incredible Hulk and get "Hulk-smashed" into oblivion.

Ummm, I hate to tell everybody, but this character won't be the world's first gay superhero. If my comics history serves me right, technically the first gay superheroes were Captain Metropolis and The Hooded Justice of "Watchmen," which was published in 1986. However, that was a limited series. The first major well-known superhero to be revealed as gay was Northstar from "Alpha Flight," and he came out of the closet in 1992.

But maybe what Stan Lee means is that he's the first gay superhero to be born that way?

You are correct about Northstar. I wasn't aware of Captain Metropolis and Hooded Justice.

*Hooded* justice?

Should we assume he's the one who is uncut?

I think the first actually gay comic book superhero in mainstream comics was Shrinking Violet in The Legion of Superheroes, who had a relationship with Lighting Lass.

That is an outstanding image. Thanks for sharing.
 
I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been a standalone character already, as there are a hugely disproportionate number of comic book fans among the gay guys I know.

I always thought a good Superhero story would be a gay couple who thought that they were keeping their true identity (being a super hero, and the other the super villain) from each other. So they live together, but also when they're living their second lives they fight each other.

Mr. and Mr. Smith?
 
Wasn't Colossal in the Ultimate universe also Gay?

The first Gay was Quinin Quist in the Naked Civil Servant (1976) , before that they only suggested, nothing explicit.
