    I wish Northstar could have a hero lover, slightly like Shatterstar and Rictor, but with them --though i love peter david--it seems like they are making Shatterstar not completely gay. Why can't their be a gay version of Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman? or gay version of Cyclops and Jean/Emma?

    Hmm... just to play devil's advocate... would it be a violation of character to then request a "straight" version of Northstar and other iconically gay characters?

    As for Northstar, the only reason I prefer him with a non-powered person is because his arrogance seems like it would cause him to become competitive against another hero type, and they wouldn't be able to legitimately last very long. With a normie, he can play the dominant role that fits his character.

    As a side note, while Ultimate Colossus was gay... I think developing alternate-universe gays is a dangerous slope to start on and should be handled with limitations and caution. The Apollo/Midnighter form is something much easier to embrace.
