    Alright, it says this on Wikipedia as well, but I can't seem to find it in the book.

    Hooded Justice was homosexual?

    I know that it's implied (though, it seemed like much more of a insult instead) by the Comedian that HJ enjoyed causing people pain (though, Comedian was, at the time, getting the stuffing beat out of him), but that's not close to the same thing. It says on Wiki that his "relationship" with the original Silk Spectre was to cover up the fact that he had incidents with teenage boys (which I also don't remember reading :I).

    SS says that two other members in the original Minutemen were both gay (and men), but I don't recall her specifying who. I have the book right next to me and I'm looking through but I can't find it. I'm just wondering is all, since I was reading up about the characters and this popped up, and I wasn't aware of it.

    He was in a relationship with Captain Metropolis it clearly states so in the section for Silk Spectre (the first one).

    What do you think about the theory that he and Captain Metropolis faked their deaths?

    In a fairly disturbing way, at that.
