Is there proof iceman was gay
Sponsored
don't mind me i'm thinking about how Pete "Maverick" Mitchell and Tom "Iceman" Kazansky are both CANONICALLY QUEER.
That's right folks, you read that correctly. I present to you the evidence:
Regarding Iceman, we all knew he was homosexual, because Val Kilmer himself literally confirmed it in an interview for Smooch Kiss Bang Bang (he talked about his role as a gay nature in the film and said that it wasn't his first; he admitted top gun was his first gay role.)
And for Maverick, the canon evidence was in the first Top Gun itself - in a scene that SO many people the o-club scene, Goose tells Maverick when they're making a bet that Maverick "must have carnal knowledge, of a woman this time."
That line right there implies that Maverick has hit on people before that AREN'T women-- because if Maverick was completely straight, why would Goose need to specify that Maverick needs to hit on a female this time?
The amount of queerness in this movie AMAZES ME. And it's not subtle, q
Knowledge Waits: The Possible Hints Over the Years That Iceman Is Gay
This is the latest in a feature where I just share some bit of comic book history that interests me. Here is a collection of all of the installments in the feature so far.
One of the interesting aspects of young Iceman coming out in the most recent issue of All-New X-Men (and from the sound of Brian Michael Bendis' discussions of the topic, it sure sounds like adult Iceman will be catching up with him, as well) is the notion that Iceman being gay is something supported in past comics. Bendis noted to CBR:
CBR: This story isn't something that's coming out of the blue, either. Over the years there's been a lot of hints that Bobby might not be entirely straightforward with himself about his sexuality.
Bendis: Yes! That's the funniest conversation online. We have some people going, "What on Earth are you talking about? Where did this come from?" Then there are other people who weren't surprised at all. Already on Tumblr, and I'm not going to repost them until later in the week, people have posted a road map of panels o
Themysteryof "X-Men" member Iceman's sexuality has finally been solved.
A teenage version of the iconic nature, displaced in second, made the surprise revelation in All-New X-Men #40 which was released in April. The plot line raised questions about the character's present-day self, who presented himself as heterosexual -- until now.
In Uncanny X-Men #, which hits newsstands on Nov. 4, the young Iceman, or Bobby Drake, comes out officially as a gay gentleman while confronting his older self.
Gay and lesbian characters are becoming increasingly visible in the comic book space. In , Marvel Comics announced that its first openly gay hero, Northstar, would marry his longtime civilian lover, Kyle Jinadu, in an issue of Astonishing X-Men.
Iceman's coming out, however, is noteworthy given that the character was one of the five original "X-Men" members, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in
Marvel Comics Editor Daniel Ketchum told The Huffington Publish that he was particularly proud of the new issue, calling Iceman's ethics just another example of how the franc
Iceman (Bobby Drake), one of the five original X-Men characters, has been outed as gay in All-New X-Men #40 — written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Mahmud Asrar.
But…it’s not exactly the Iceman we’ve been reading about for decades, but rather his younger self — plucked from the past (shortly after the team formed) and brought to the current moment. Sowhat does this mean for Bobby’s older self? To be determined…
Bobby has a long and complex history as one of the original X-Men since the comic&#;s debut in This profile will focus on personal events in Bobby&#;s life instead of superheroic events as a member of the x-Men, Champions, Defenders, X-Factor, and other teams. Please see Iceman&#;s Marvel entry for info like that.
The revelation in All New X-Men #40 that Drake, the second of Professor X&#;s recruits to the Xavier School For Gifted Youngsters, is gay was met with groundswell of reactions from readers who were both for and against the idea. Through events standard in comics the original X-Men team was some timee ago transported from their past into the present day of
