Gail Simone officially “outs” the mighty Achilles
(3 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)It looks like DC is getting ITS Big Gay Powerhouse in the form of Wonder Woman’s male analogue. In a recent posting at the DCU Boards, Wonder Woman writer Gail Simone unceremoniously confirmed that Achilles, the leader of Zeus’ race of male counterparts to the Amazons (the Gargareans) is in fact a friend of Dorothy.
I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that Marvel has similar plans for Stonewall. I’ll add more images of Achilles here as I find them, so stay tuned.
So we know he’s gay now. The big question is… will he survive “Rise of the Olympian” to become a force in the DCU? Or is he a throwaway foe to be discarded after a single arc? Lets hope for the former. I’d like to get to know Achilles a little better.

After his horrified reaction to the mere thought of romping through that Amazon’s lady garden last issue, was this in any doubt?

HA HA! I love the comments, but that is soo cool. It’s almost like writers on comics have no problem creating gay characters. Which is awesome. Way to go, Gail!
