SPOILERS: This Original Member Of The X-MEN Will Be Outed As Being Gay Tomorrow
In a shocking development, Brian Michael Bendis will tomorrow reveal in the pages of All-New X-Men #40 that a member of the X-Men is gay. Is it Cyclops? Jean Grey? Angel? Beast? Iceman? You can find out right here, but be warned of potentially major spoilers ahead...
Well, this is an unexpected development! Despite the fact that his present day counterpart isn't gay, Iceman's younger self is according to the following scans from tomorrow's issue of All-New X-Men (via Bleeding Cool). Perhaps Bobby Drake has been keeping his homosexuality to himself for all these years or circumstances led to him just not being gay in the Marvel Universe timeline, but this is a plot development which makes little to no sense. On the other hand, there have been hints over the years that Iceman may be interested in guys, so perhaps this will lead to the older version coming out at some point too. Be sure to share your thoughts on this development below!
