 :Marvel is much more political, which can be very interesting. The whole franchise is in a whole new, almost totalitarian post-Civil War world now, which is really fascinating to read. And you're right, they have more teenage gays, even though DC has more sort of ""big"" gays. Even saying that, DC's biggest gays are John Constantine (bi), Batwoman (who doesn't appear much), Renee Montoya (the new Question, Apollo & Midnighter (who are now MAINSTREAM post-52 D), the new Catwoman. As for Iceman, didn't he have sex with Mystique real recently? I read scans_daily, it's a great site and it keeps me all up to date on all the publishers."
