Quote:
Taking to Twitter, the popular entertainment company announced the arrival of the mysterious mutant hero.
“Introducing Somnus! The new mutant hero makes his debut this June in “Marvel’s Voices: Pride” #1, written by [Steve Orlando] with art by [Claudia Guirre] and character design by [Luciano Vecchio],” the tweet read.
The synopsis for the origin story describes the character as “a mutant who had an extraordinary impact on an X-man long ago.” The character has the ability to control people’s dreams “but he was never able to follow his own.”
So he basically has the same powers as Princess Luna from My Little Pony. I can already tell he's going to be either the effeminate gay sterotype or twink gay sterotype that has been done to death in media. Killjoys, Teen Wolf and Invincible is the only few media I can think of on the top of my head where gay men are depicted differently and honestly, realistically.
As a gay metalhead myself tho I'm still waiting for a gay metalhead to pop up in something.
