is Hercules Bisexual ?

@kid_omega_prime:
In Hercules: Fall of an Avenger, it's hinted that Hercules is bi-sexual.

lol

i hope not.

Wow, pepole get really nervous when they bring up the idea that there character might be gay

I know. It's kind of sad.

very

I'm a massive Marvel Herc fan he's my favourite fictional character and I do see the Northstar scene as a hint by the writers as well as a joke. In myth he was bisexual and as far as I'm concerned I'm going with the myths until marvel says differently.

You go by what @powerherc say.

@bigcimmerian: why? I'm aware he is too a fan of Hercules but it doesn't mean his opinion is always right.

If a character has shown no interest in either male or female counterparts what is one to assume, I don't believe general assumption should be everyone is straight unless stated otherwise and no statement by Hercules or any writers have said he's not bisexual it is in equal reasoning to accept that he is.

Maybe this scan shows something.

@bigcimmerian: this scan is even more vague than the Northstar panel.

This thread again.... Thought it didn't need further discussion

No, this.

Marvel's Hercules is bisexual and has slept with Northstar. Greg Pak (co-writer of Hercules: Fall of an Avenger) confirmed this on his Tumblr. Link: http://greg-pak.tumblr.com/post/66247215614/in-hercules-fall-of-an-avenger-its-implied-that

I guess that settles it.

I still don't see any problem with the character being by, though.

For proof that Psylocke MAY just now be Bisexual: http://cdn.bleedingcool.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Screen-Shot-2013-07-17-at-7.21.10-PM.png?9098e0 ... also proof that Charlie Cluster-7 is bi.

Heather Douglas (Earth-616)... she was DATING Marlo Chandler (Earth-616) for awhile in the comics... remember.

NOT SURE about Jennifer Kale (Earth-616) as I can't really find any really GOOD info on her being Bi.

I'm not really sure about Yukio being Bi.. I could've missed something but I don't remember her dating another woman... though I could've missed something or something that was hinted at in the comics... though I really don't think that's true.

@powerherc: Aman powerherc. Oh buy the way 616 Hercules is still on the bi list :(

Pack confirmed over Tumblr or something that he wrote Hercules as bi and that he did the deed with Northstar.

@avenging_x_bolt:

Darn now I'm going to half to remove herc from my hero list :( well I guess I chould replace him with Zeus... Well maybe.

@kid_omega_prime: you're saying you can't like a hero who is bi?

You're removing a guy who is bisexual from your hero list but your adding someone who has had sex with animals and family, what is wrong with you?

Ancient Romans were "as long as I can fit into something"-sexual

@jonny_anonymous: logic. Gotta love it.

@jonny_anonymous:

Wait what Zeus been with animals ? When ? I know he turned into animals sometimes to sudduse weman but I did not know that... Darn.

@kid_omega_prime: Zeus mating with animals isn't entirely true.

Beata

So just because herc has been with one guy in what 3000 year that makes him bi ? Ever thought maybe northstar drugged him ? I mean Thor was taking advantage of so who's to say herc couldn't be ether ?

Also, a lot of fans have been curious if the character's sexuality -- it's been strongly suggested Hercules is bisexual, and in "X-Treme X-Men" an alternate Hercules was in a relationship with Wolverine -- will play a part in the series. Is there any insight you can provide at this point?

Alonso: Hercules and James Howlett's relationship in "X-Treme X-Men" took place in a unique alternate universe, similar to how Colossus was gay in the Ultimate Universe, but is straight in the 616. Same goes for Hercules here.

[Editor's note: Marvel declined a follow-up question on this subject.]

Though the Hercules in X-Treme X-Men was from an alternate universe, it has also been recently implied that the main Marvel Universe's Hercules' sexual partners weren't limited to just women either.

Yes. He has played tummy sticks.

@kid_omega_prime: No. The drugging thing would be offensive.

@deviousbastard: @truth_teller:

@bflynn316: I know but someone said that he was bi becuse he was with northstar. Then someone said that was just a joke snowbird said then someone write to the writer that did the issues and the writer said herc and northstar did do it. So I starting looking up different sites then I found this little number. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/news/marvels-diversity-problem-continues-as-once-bisexual-character-hercules-confirmed-straight-10435249.html

Marvel's diversity problem continues as once bisexual character Hercules confirmed straight.

Marvel’s universe has often been criticised for portraying its heroes primarily as straight, white men.

When they do change a characters it often causes controversy – for instance when they decided to make Thor a women and Iceman gay – and they’ve done it again by making the once bisexual character, Hercules, a heterosexual.

Throughout the comic book series “X-Treme X-Men”, based in alternative Marvel universe, the character has a relationship with Wolverine.

Then, in the mainstream Marvel during in Hercules: Fall of an Avenger #1, it is strongly implied he had a relationship with Northstar, an openly gay character. Hercules is also listed on Marvel Wiki's Bisexual Characters list.

Observers wondered if his open sexuality would continue in the new Hercules series, but Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso told CBR that he will definitely be “straight” in the future.

"Hercules and James Howlett’s relationship in 'X-Treme X-Men' took place in a unique alternate universe, similar to how Colossus was gay in the Ultimate Universe, but is straight in the 616. Same goes for Hercules here."

Fans have been quick to point out that Hercules being bisexual was a very natural progression for the character, especially considering he is inspired by Greek Mythology, where Hercules was bisexual.

Elsewhere in the interview, Alonso celebrated diversity in the staff behind the Marvel comic books: “We are always looking for the best new talent — male, female, White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Straight, Gay.

“We are experiencing a lull in African-American writers at this moment, but it is temporary. We will be announcing new series very soon that will prove that. I’m talking about new voices, familiar voices and one writer whose voice is heard round the world.”

CBR noted that they had further questioned Marvel over Hercules but they refused to comment. We have also reached out for comment but are yet to get a response.

Ok so if herc is confirmed to be straight then how do you explain him and northstar ? Please help.

@kid_omega_prime: Thor wasn't made into a woman. That's a different character.

@deviousbastard: yup that was Jane foster as female Thor.

@kid_omega_prime: Why do you need more diversity? We have plenty of black, gay, female and every other ''difference'' in comics.

Bonus question: I know this has nothing to do with Hercules but I got to ask. I thought john Constantine was bi but I looked up the bi characters list on DC database and only the vertigo Constantine was list ? So what gives ?

@kid_omega_prime: ummm... That is a good question. But earth one, new earth, vertigo and prime earth Constantine are all bi.

@otaconmgs: I know I just wondered why the others weren't listed only the vertigo one was list ? And they still haven't removed Hercules from marvels bi list ?

ok I know people really get tried of me keep bring this one up but is marvel herules bi or straight ? some sites say he is bi others say he is straight even thought the greeks were considered bi.

in a recent interview with CBR Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso suggested the character would be straight in an upcoming iteration.

‘Hercules and James Howlett’s relationship in ‘X-Treme X-Men’ took place in a unique alternate universe, similar to how Colossus was gay in the Ultimate Universe, but is straight in the 616. Same goes for Hercules here,’ he said.

Yeah I saw that to. Maybe the writers can't makeup there minds ?

i really don't think it matters in the slightest

@kid_omega_prime: still bringing this one up I see.

well the 616 herc dose differ from our herc. for example in the orignal legend he killed king Diomedes but feeding him to his man-eating horses but in marvel's vertion he Taming the man-eating Mares of King Diomedes. also in the orignal he killed hippolyta after taking her belt but in marvel he Obtaining the Girdle of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons - while romancing Hippolyta. so just becuse he might be bi in the orignal dose not mean he is bi in marvel.

yeah that is a good point.
