The A-Z LGBT Comic Book Character Superlist

Posted in on 10/05/2009 11:22 pm by fanboi

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

LESBIAN
GAY
BISEXUAL
TRANSGENDER

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.

    It was a lot of work (probably more than any other post on here) – but I just kept finding more and I probably still managed to leave someone off! I know Wonder Woman had a gay neighbor once a long time ago – but I couldn’t find his name or photo and I’m sure he’s not the only one. So if you know some obscure LGBT character and can help with an image you’ll get a shout out on what I hope becomes THE list of LGBT characters in comics.

    Yep. Happened earlier this year (March or April, I think) and after the attack they moved servers as well. They’re slowly adding the content they did have but I don’t like the way it’s set up. There doesn’t seem to be any sort of character listing to choose from like they used to have.

    I noticed that – They are using the same default wordpress theme I did for the first year, but they haven’t customized it at all. I could totally help them with that if anyone knows someone at GayLeague.

    I’m waaay to anal-retentive to use the default without adding my own touches. As for a character listing, they just need to make an index page like I did for Celebrity Beefcake and Legendary Studs of Yore etc. Its very easy.

    10/01/2009 at 3:02 pm

    I really don’t know WHAT he is… FROM HIS WIKI PAGE: He is a green, floating spheroid creature of unknown origins who spoke in a "language" all his own. Doop was said to be the product of a Cold War era U.S. military who later served as the cameraman for the celebrity mutant superhero team X-Statix (formerly known as X-Force).

    Hi!
    First let me say that I LOVE this post. What a task! You rock out loud.

    Second, we chatted a bit yesterday at ‘Whatever..” and you gave me your fab card and asked me to email you some of my indie stuff. I emailed you but got a bounceback. Bummer! So I thought I’d post my comment here with my email in case you felt inspired to get in touch with me. :)

    Thanks!

    I love the fact that you remembered X-Statix! That said I don’t remember the Phat and Vivisector picture. I can’t really tell but I know at least the majority of the art comes from official pin-up or panels. Did they actually beat Rictor and Shatterstar to the big gay Marvel kiss?

    And a minor quibble that Xavin from Runaways was written out but not necessarily killed off.

    Otherwise, impressive collection! Most of the dedicated sites for this sake seem to have lapsed a bit.

    10/02/2009 at 8:23 am

    The Phat and Vivisector picture is NOT official. It is by the artist j.bone and was too cute not to include. You are correct in saying most of these are – I found lots of them at comicvine and fan art seems to sneak in)

    This is a link to a couple of characters you missed (I think)

    http://www.gayleague.com/wordpress/2009/10/01/batwing-rhodney/

    The gay league does have some of their stuff up, but it is in a different configuration (and a little easier to miss IMO).

    but not the one you linked to… and there are some Superheros on your list that aren’t on the other that I’ll have to add to the update. I’m kinda busy with work this week (making up for time spent on this list earlier in the week) but should have this post updated to at least 116 pretty soon!

    Wow, there were a few on there I didn’t even know about (like Electro and Living Lightning). I guess being a minor character/villain, you don’t really see much of their civilian life, much less a love life.

    Anole gets his ass kicked? Not really. He seems to do just fine…

    10/04/2009 at 10:59 am

    Check out some the panels at the end of THIS POST about Anole and Graymalkin – Its from right after Jonas came out. First thing they do after the two become friends is have Anole get emotionally distracted during battle and get blasted. I could have sworn there was a shot of him getting blasted during the recent clash in San Francisco, but I can’t find it. Except for saving Pixie from Darkchylde he hasn’t had that many heroic moments. Also, He’s already had ONE arm ripped off and he was symmetrical in the future so the other one is going to go and grow back sometime too, despite his reluctance to let Rockslide rip it off.

    FYI – in case you didn’t know he was originally created to die – there was a planned story in Young X-Men about him committing suicide after being rejected by his parents after coming out on Parent’s Day. I DO like the character and think he has great potential – but I haven’t seen it used. IMHO He always ends up a a green background element.

    Hey there! Great update. I loved reading more about it. Cool. Wasn’t there a character who was guy from the Human Target mini series? It was a Vertigo/DC comic. I believe the main character had a friend who owned a resturant and was gay. I may have to research that. There was another short lived series from image (I think) where the main character was a female hitwoman and her best friend was called go-go and he was gay. I cannot remember the series. It was so campy and fun.

    Just trying to remember a couple not on your list (I think).

    What about Go Go Fiasco from Codename Knockout.

    And would you consider including the Guardians of the Cube in the list?

    Next update will be a category specifically for “Gay Comics” that will include characters like Naked Justice and the Guardians of the Cube.

    But I will first be doing a new post that will be an alphabetical list with orientation, first appearance, links to images and profiles at wikipedia, gayleague and pinkkryptonite.

    Someone I just noticed who isn’t listed is Mindy Mayer’s brother from the George Perez era on Wonder Woman…

    I added him to the list of people that I’m hoping you readers can help me find images. Anyone know his name? Anyone? Bueller? Frye?

    I also think Wonder Woman had a gay neighbor at some point in a REALLY old story (pre-80s) – never came out and said he was gay but it was semi-obvious from the panel i saw. Of course I can’t find the panel or mention of him online and have no idea where I saw it.

    A few more to consider:

    From the Scott Pilgrim books, Wallace Wells, Mobile (Wallace’s boyfriend), Ramona Flowers and Roxie Richter.

    And from Y The Last Man, armies of lesbians. But particularly Agent 33, Dr. Mann, Beth and Hero.

    That is exactly what I intend it to be! THE most complete list of LGBT characters in comics.

    Let me know if you have a better shot of him… noticed him in hot pants on the last cover but Knockout was in the way.

    Take note – I’ve enabled comments on my sub pages so you can now comment directly at the LGBT Character Superlist if you have any characters to add! I already have a lot that aren’t in my original gallery and I just keep adding more!

    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.

    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?

    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.

    What are your feelings on the character Noir from WildCATS? He definitely seemed gay or at least bi to me.

    I vaguely remember the character – I forget why he seemed gay/bi but I remember thinking the same. I rember he betrayed the team or something?

    this by far is the best list of superheros. Way Cool!

    he seemed to be openly flirting/suggestive with Grifter – a male member of the WildCats . Noir was an arms dealer who helps out the team and then tries to betray them, but gets killed

    THANKS for the heads up – I appreciate it! It’s good to know people are really clicking through this list and checking all the links and images. I’ve zipped through it 37 times myself – but after staring at it for so long its easy to miss things. So PLEASE let me know if a link doesn’t match what it says or if a picture or description are mismatched.

    But FYI once the list is complete, as much as they are completely appreciated and requested, I’ll be deleting all comments about my typos – including mine. But in the meantime please poke away and let me know if anything breaks.

    How about John Thomas, the Bisexual private Dick from Codename: Knockout?

    I’d need some help finding that one. Googling bisexual, john thomas, codename knockout isn’t bringing up much.

    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.

    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.

    The text for the image of Starman III says he is bisexual, but the color code says gay. I believe bisexual is correct for that character.

    Incredible work! Amazing collection of LGBT heroes! And I ADORE this comment:
    “Xavin – taken off into interstellar space and supposedly executed – but you know comics – no body = not dead”.

    Hahahahahahaha.. true… if there is no body certainly he/she will appear again!
