    Karma is a mutant with the ability to mentally possess other beings. A founding member of the New Mutants, she is one of the few confirmed and openly lesbian characters. She lost a leg and now has a cybernetic one in its place.

    Heh, weird.  I've been re-reading old X-Force issues and I was wondering the same thing when I re-read issue 75.  Shan turns up and has a conversation with Dani about relationships...

    Shan: Tell me, Dani.  You ever have a thing for Sam?  You two were constantly competing -- Always trying to one-up the other.  That kind of tension can lead to things.

    Dani:  On television, yes.  In my life, no.  Sam's cute, but not my type.  What about you?

    Shan: Oh. Definitely not my type.

    They had the definitely in bold.  I think that was the first time they insinuated that she's gay, but I don't know when it was officially announce.  Didn't she used to have a crush on Kitty??

    I hate that she's always been so background. Even in New Mutants, she was there for like 4 issues and then disappeared for like 40.  I like Karma, she needs more Spotlight.

    First time I actually read she was a Lesbian was when she told someone in X-Force(I think it was Meltdown or Moonstar) in X-Force # 76 or 77.

    Because they're supposed to reflect everyday people. Which is also why they have money issues, and family members die.

    So... What you're saying is that black people exist, but gay people don't.
    Seriously, there is no-one that would start to buy a comic because they'd found out that Karma is gay.  She's been side-lined ever since the start of the New Mutants.  Having minor characters come out of the closet doesn't boost sales.  It's just an attempt to reflect society, but without daring to do it with the mainstream or popular heroes.

    And being homophobic is clearly winning you a popularity contest.

    You said that having homosexuals in comics is just an "unneeded sales ploy."  If we're getting rid of all sales ploys then we should take out all ethnicities, because they were obviously only put in there so that they could appeal to a broader audience.

    You said having homosexuals characters is a sales ploy. Having black characters is the same thing. It's to appeal to a wider audience to boost their sales.

    That's not what I meant. People flip-flop. They say they are homosexuals then they say they aren't.
