Disney's Marvel comic universe is rich with LGBTQ+ identities, showcasing the evolution of queer representation. Although early depictions faced censorship, notable moments include the first gay kiss between Shatterstar and Rictor in 2009, and the introduction of trans mutant Shela Sexton in 2022. Characters like Korg also contribute to this diversity, emphasizing Marvel's commitment to inclusivity. As compared to past restrictions under the Comics Code Authority, today's comics openly celebrate and embrace the LGBTQ+ community, presenting a broader array of identities within the multiverse.
Writers might only have recently been allowed to make characters obviously queer but, to us, the abundance of LGBTQ+ identities represented within the multiverse has always been plain to see.
Marvel's first gay kiss was seen in 2009, when former X-Force allies Shatterstar and Rictor shared their feelings for each other.
Despite this, Marvel's first depiction of queer characters came in the form of a 1979 scene where two men attempted to sexually assault Bruce Banner.
A member of the New Mutants, Sexton can switch locations, trade possessions, and even abilities, with anyone close enough to her.
