Welcome to the A-Z LGBT Character Superlist – an alphabetized listing of over 300 LGBT characters from comic books (including superheros, supervillains and supporting cast characters). Click on the character’s name to see an image.
This list gathers previously shared written character information and scanned images that were first published by another online resource (see SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS that follow the list) to make it all available in a single, heavily linked, alphabetical list color coded by LGBT status.
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M
N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z
Characters left on a black background are on the list for ambiguous LGBT behavior, comments or romantic association with someone LGBT. Icons to left of the character name identify the dead and those have been previously established or subtle hinted as LGBT, but whose classification is unconfirmed in current continuity.
Links under PROFILES go to the most detailed articles I could find on each subject.

If you know of a LGBT character in comics who is NOT represented on this list – please send their name, a brief history of the character and a scanned image if possible to fanboi@heroesnhunks.com
SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS to the following LGBT and Comics sites without whom I could not have compiled this database. Their collections of images and character biographies were invaluable. GayLeague, PinkKryptonite, ComicVine, DC.Wikia, Marvel.Wikia, BuffyWikia, MarvelUnApp, LGBT Superheroes, LGBT Characters in Comics, BeeksBooks, PerryMoore, StateMaster and PrismComics
Special Thanks to the readers who took the time to comment with additional names as well as e-mail me descriptions and/or images: PsiWire, Xanadude, BionicBoy, Scammerk, Steve Z, François Peneaud, Brian Anderson, Jill, Jay, Sean, Sam, Randall Kirby, Lyonside
10/07/2009 at 11:28 pm
PLEASE let me know if you see someone NOT on the list for letters up so far. I’m adding more to each letter daily as I find more…
10/08/2009 at 1:59 pm
Here’s one that is a little obscure:
Mime from the U.N. Force from Caliber Entertainment. Heck, throw his lover in, too, and you have two for the list. Mime (who represented France in the book) appeared in all the published issues of UN Force – founding member, actually, and was a pretty positive representation.
http://fuziondigital.com/unforce2.htm
10/08/2009 at 2:41 pm
is Mime one of the character pictured? Do you know his lovers name? It’s so obscure and his sobriquet is so generic (Mime brings up a lot on google but no gay French superheroes) that I can’t find details or images online.
Do you have the issues? If so for the good of all LGBT characters in comics can you visit a Kinko’s and scan images of each?
10/08/2009 at 4:29 pm
I’ll do some digging this weekend and see what I can come up with – I have the issues somewhere, it’s just a matter of finding them.
Mime wasn’t one of the pictures ones, though.
10/11/2009 at 6:19 am
Wow the list is so cool and very detailed. Awesome man!!!! Thanks
10/13/2009 at 5:53 pm
How about John Thomas, the Bisexual private Dick from Codename: Knockout?
10/13/2009 at 6:06 pm
I’d need some help finding that one. Googling bisexual, john thomas, codename knockout isn’t bringing up much.
02/19/2010 at 4:11 pm
Great idea, but… No Zot?
FAIL.
Completely classic comic (McCloud is basically THE comics expert now,) and Terry’s semi-coming out was one of its most memorable stories, way back in the 80s. Also somewhat prominently featured Terry’s love interest in at least one issue, and another of Zot’s friends was mentioned as gay in passing.
02/19/2010 at 4:27 pm
I don’t think missing 1 character from the 80s means FAIL. The whole idea of this list it to point out whose missing so I can add them. So since it will never be finished it cannot fail. My area of expertise is superhero comics so I’ll need help filling out some of the more obscure indie characters.
I’d be happy to include Jenny’s lesbian friend Terry if anyone has an image??? does she have a last name? Plus I need some sort of biography or character summation to include.
