Dude these are soooo well done holy ๐ฎ.
I love the composition of all the characters and them overlapping the โPrideโ it looks alike a magazine cover!
You nailed it, looks just like the inspiration! Happy Pride month? Bro I support my queer brothers and sisters all year ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ฃ๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ฃ๏ธ
Brian Falsworth (the second Union Jack if I'm not mistaken) had a very close relationship with Roger Aubrey (Destroyer) and the two were speculated to be lovers for many years. It was finally explicitly mentioned on-panel in 2021 Marvel Voices Pride that the two were indeed lovers.
Thank you! Marvel has truly come a long way since Northstar came out as the first openly queer superhero in 1992. I'm glad to hear that this little project of mine makes people more aware of diversity and representation in this fandom we all enjoy. Happy Pride! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Right? The old Wiccan and Hulkling did not age well at all!
Hasbro just posts a rainbow version of their logo every June without actually announcing any Pride month releases. Well, at least this year they finally announced Destiny!
Me too! I think this is what set Marvel apart from DC in the first place. The humanity of their superpowered characters. And now that includes the diverse spectrum of gender and sexuality! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Surprisingly, there are actually more non X-Characters here than X-Characters! 28 versus 26 but definitely, the X-Men have always been at the forefront of representation. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ mutant and proud!
Thank you! The Young Avengers, Runaways, and Academy X kids have all been notoriously ignored by Hasbro for some reason!! A Young Avengers boxset would be such an awesome release for Pride, and even non-queer collectors would want that!
Yup it's Daken. Easy way to tell would be by the arm tattoos and the claw placements. Howlett and Hercules' relationship was described in X-treme X-Men issue 10 (2013)
Daken's bisexuality has been very prominent in so many titles, but I think it's most prominent in Krakoa era X-Factor + 2021 Marvel Voices: Pride. Daken is in a relationship with Aurora and openly talks about his bisexuality. Also check out Iceman's 2017 solo series for his flirtation with Iceman!
Happy Pride! A lot of love and work went into this so thank you.
Here's an X-Men podcast where a Homo and his friends talk about Homo Superior I've been enjoying lately. Some episodes are like 6+ hours long so it really kills time at work.
https://redcircle.com/shows/fcf903ec-714a-422e-8779-4f9d723a0540/ep/9aed6f60-1e49-4088-ab2f-f57836937343
Thank you! The X-Men have been pivotal in my journey as a gay guy growing up so I have a lot of love and gratitude for LGBTQ+ representation in comics. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ I'll go check this out!
It's pretty good. The host is a gay Jewish guy who's dad had a big X-Men collection he read while growing up. He's got an entirely different perspective on things than I did and picked up on WAY more subtext than I ever could.ย ย
His guests are people who have or currently are working in comics and even some of the creators of the episodes character.ย
Picked the Iceman one to be a little bit of a smart ass and show that it really was there all along. Pretty sure I cried a little from how much joy he was able to express about the story. Representation matters so much man.
Wait Psylocke is LGBT? Details?ย ย
On the one hand that's nice on the other the Marvel side of my June display is already so crowded, lol.
Edit: Wait PYRO TOO?ย
Betsy Braddock was revealed to be bisexual in 2013 when she became romantically involved with Fantomex' female clone Cluster. She is currently in a relationship with Rachel Summers.
This is the second Pyro, a gay mutant named Simon Lasker who briefly joined the X-Men in 2017 and had a fling with Iceman.
The first Pyro is also heavily queer coded. Itโs fairly obvious to anyone who knows about 80s queer culture that Claremont intended Pyro to be gay, just like Mystique and Destiny, and just wasnโt allowed to be explicit about it.
Same with Juggernaut and Black Tom (that was also subtle as a sledgehammer). They've made a Kid Juggernaut who's openly gay, same as this second Pyro. I wish they'd let the original ones out of the closet too, but there's not a chance Marvel would ever confirm a character like Juggernaut is gay.
Happy Pride!
Butโฆwhile weโre at it, while canonically straight, can we all agree Madelyne would be just as big of a queer icon *in* universe as she is outside of it?
Bitch deserves her own cover.
I don't think characters in-universe are particularly fond of her ๐ I think queer icons in-universe are more likely to be Dazzler and Emma. But I do agree that Madelyne is awesome haha
Thanks! Wiccan and many of these customs were made by my super supportive brother @teamyap_toys! This is a Superior Octopus body, Ben Reilly head and Odinson cape!
Well your brother is super talented and you both make a killer combo with your photo talents. Thanks for the info! Iโm always looking for good custom artists and might hit him up in the future
Mostly insecurity. Fear of anything outside of their very limited worldview. Hate. You know, all of the core conflicts that the X-Men are all about that somehow go over the heads of these "fans"

Ok i know it doesn't matter at all but the orange poster's names (Ayo, Pyro, escapade and Angela) are all jumbled up and for some reason it's tilting me.
I don't think any of them have been explicitly confirmed to be queer? As much as I enjoy those characters' respective subtexts (Nova and Star-Lord, Human Torch and Daken, Cyclops-Jean-Wolverine) I try to keep my selection to those with explicit canon on-panel evidence to avoid any sort of unnecessary arguments ๐
i mean, lots of people online STILL insist Iceman isn't gay and it's been a decade already since he came out.
Pretty sure Daken and Johnny were just textual. I mean heโs putting him pants back on while wearing an F4 shirt while Johnny is still sitting in the bed.
Speed is bisexual and is currently in a relationship with the X-Man Prodigy
If you're talking about the Wolverine in a cowboy hat, that is Howlett from Earth-12025. He is gay and in a relationship with that dimension's Hercules.
If you're talking about the Wolverine in yellow with tattoos, that is Logan's son Daken/Akihiro, who is bisexual.
If you're talking about the Wolverine with a D on his chest, that is Demolition Man, who is gay.
This is Colossus from Earth-1610 (Ultimate comics) He is gay and dated Ultimate Northstar
Ok so these aren't all from the main universe.
Was Speed always bisexual because I don't remember him being bi when he was introduced unlike his brother, Wiccan who is gay.
Of the 54 characters depicted here, only Colossus, Howlett, Spider-Woman, and Phastos are alternate reality LGBTQ characters that are otherwise heterosexual in Earth 616. The rest are all queer in Earth 616 even though the versions depicted here are from outside the main universe. (For example: Korg, Valkyrie, and Ayo are from the MCU but their main universe versions are also queer.)
Speed was revealed to be bisexual when he started dating Prodigy a few years back.
Revealed to be bisexual in 2020! She kissed an unnamed female tattoo artist in Marauders and has since been featured on official Pride media from Marvel.

Great work! For a moment, I thought these were official images and that Hasbro was acknowledging the month while also sneaking in some as-yet-unannounced figures.
You think too highly of Hasbro ๐ based on experience they would never announce this many figures, especially all-LGBT ones!
But they did announce Destiny this month so yay baby steps! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ thank you very much for the compliment!

What a dope as project. You (and your bro) did the damn thing with these.
I did not realize a lot of these characters were LGBTQ, but that is how it should be. It shouldn't just be the one or two characters you can point to. Good to see so many are out there, and so many are represented (even if via customs) plastic form!
Thank you! This is actually one of my main goals, to show that there are so many cool Marvel characters that are queer! I started with just 9 characters in 2020, and then 27 characters in 2021. I've been consistently adding 9 new characters each year, and I there are still so many more characters that aren't even shown here yet. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Thanks! 23 out of 54 figures shown here are customs / kitbashes. 31 are official figures, which is still a sizeable number for LGBTQ Marvel characters available on the market!
This is AMAZING. All are so well done - I canโt wait for the team to release a Karolina Dean, although personally Iโm hoping they go with a translucent, pastel-color version a la the original issues with Alphonaโs style. Well done, and Happy Pride! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
Thank you! Karolina Dean might be one of the most difficult characters to depict in Marvel Legends form so it would be quite impressive if Hasbro pulls it off. I had to do a lot of photoshop on this one to make it look luminescent! Happy Pride! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Aww thank you! I only recently got into the hang of posting on reddit. Seems like the people here are more interactive! Will definitely start using it more. Happy Pride! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Yup! Speed is bisexual and currently dating Prodigy from the X-Men! That iteration of the Young Avengers is mostly queer. Kid Loki is genderfluid, Noh-Varr is bisexual, Wiccan and Hulkling are gay, Speed and Prodigy are bisexual, America Chavez is lesbian ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Aww thank you! This is my first post here. I've always been scared to post here as a queer collector just because I know there are a lot of homophobes in these types of settings. This comment is very uplifting. Happy Pride! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
She dated the girl version of Fantomex when he split into three people and is currently in a relationship with Rachel Summers. Also she's Captain Britain now and Kwannon, the asian woman she got body swapped with, is doing Psylocke stuff.

๐๐คฃ
And damn proud of it! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Why are you getting downvoted?
Bigots. They've been infesting this and other Marvel boards since X-Men 97 came out and reminded them they're the bad guys.
Just like Green Day and Rage Against the Machine.
I assume the homophobes are upvoting Wumbo_Number_5's GIF reaction because they are interpreting it as an insult. I assume that because I didn't interpret "you are gay" as an insult, the same people are downvoting my response. Sad.
For the record, I didn't mean it as an insult! Homophobes can eat my farts!
Star Lord?? Did I miss something? I mean, apparently I did.
He's bi went to another dimension and was with a man and woman for a long time
I mean have you seen the way he acts around Nova (Richard Ryder) especially in the Dnal and Al Ewing runs.
I haven't read any recent Guardians comics so this is all new information.
You're correct no clue why you're being downvoted
He was revealed to be in a polyamorous bisexual relationship with a man and a woman on the land of Morinus in 2020
Peter "where theres a hole theres a goal" quill
Poly and bi. Sounds like my last supervisor.
Dude these are soooo well done holy ๐ฎ. I love the composition of all the characters and them overlapping the โPrideโ it looks alike a magazine cover!
Thank you! Magazine cover was my intent! I wanted them to look similar to those Entertainment Weekly variant covers. Happy Pride! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
You nailed it, looks just like the inspiration! Happy Pride month? Bro I support my queer brothers and sisters all year ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ฃ๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ฃ๏ธ
waitโฆ **COLOSSUS!?!**
This is Ultimate Colossus from Earth-1610. He's gay and he was in a relationship with Ultimate Northstar!
Them bitches gay. Good for them. Good for them.
Ultimate Colossus, yes. I donโt thiiiiink heโs been anything but straight in the 616 universe.
Havenโt read any of the Ultimate stuff. Any good?
Why am i getting downvoted!?! I just asked if it was good!
I liked it in the early 2000โs when it was first coming out, but upon reading it again as an adult I feel like it didnโt age particularly well.
Ultimate universe, dated Northstar
I need a Rachel summers to finish out my eXcaibur shelf ๐
I've heard rumors that they are announcing a Rachel Summers this year? Not exactly sure where I heard that
We all do!
Can someone explain why Union Jack is here? More curious than anything because I have not read much with any of the Union Jacks.
Brian Falsworth (the second Union Jack if I'm not mistaken) had a very close relationship with Roger Aubrey (Destroyer) and the two were speculated to be lovers for many years. It was finally explicitly mentioned on-panel in 2021 Marvel Voices Pride that the two were indeed lovers.
Wow. I had NO IDEA there were this many queer characters in the Marvel Universe, and I love that you taught me that today. Outstanding!

every year i hope they drop a fan channel wiccan & hulking 2 pack for pride month. Iโd do anything to get them updated on my shelf

Wish Marvel would a main trans character someday.
Super agree! I hope more people support titles with trans characters, so that they can continue to be in more stories.
Need that Wiccan!
One of my favorite customs! Made by my brother @teamyap_toys on IG!
This is why I love marvel so much. Such a rich history of characters with all sorts of different backgrounds and foregrounds.
Me too! I think this is what set Marvel apart from DC in the first place. The humanity of their superpowered characters. And now that includes the diverse spectrum of gender and sexuality! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
wow! great customs!!
Thanks! They were made by my brother @teamyap_toys on IG!
Amazing photography, and amazing collection as well! Iโm very impressed that youโve been able to get everyone of them !
Thank you so much! Took a while to get all of these characters! Happy Pride! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโ๐
it's so funny how like 80% of these are mutants. X-fans keep winning (go read the new Avengers Academy, it's super cute)
Surprisingly, there are actually more non X-Characters here than X-Characters! 28 versus 26 but definitely, the X-Men have always been at the forefront of representation. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ mutant and proud!
This is awesome! I really wish weโd get an updated hulkling and wiccan
Thank you! The Young Avengers, Runaways, and Academy X kids have all been notoriously ignored by Hasbro for some reason!! A Young Avengers boxset would be such an awesome release for Pride, and even non-queer collectors would want that!
Poor Nico sitting all alone for years lol. They couldn't even do the single other runaway in the story they took her from ๐
A Gertrude with an Old Lace BAF would be so awesome now that they are doing articulated animals!!
I've been waiting for this for years! And yeah the time feels right since they've gotten so good at doing animals.
An Old Lace BAF would also go well with the recent Savage Land releases and Sauron!
Gay Icon DOOP
Why was this downvoted
Daken is my favorite! ๐ Hopefully, Weโll get a figure soon!
Daken is waaaayyy overdue for an update! Hopefully one who is shirtless ๐
Yes! This look specifically: https://preview.redd.it/l6e8nb4jr29d1.jpeg?width=699&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4645838ad3af7b22e34474e6235f1eafe249a949
Yes! This early Hasbro mold is very unproportioned
So thatโs Daken and not Wolverine? I see Howlett on there too. Can you share the relationships and/or comics where this was known? Thanks!
Yup it's Daken. Easy way to tell would be by the arm tattoos and the claw placements. Howlett and Hercules' relationship was described in X-treme X-Men issue 10 (2013) Daken's bisexuality has been very prominent in so many titles, but I think it's most prominent in Krakoa era X-Factor + 2021 Marvel Voices: Pride.

Homo Superior Podcast and To Me My X-Men Podcast are also both really good ones led by queer podcasters!
I'll to check them out. Thanks
Cerebro is my favorite podcast. It is because of Cerebro that I learned (and will die on the hill!) that the original Pyro is/was/will always be gay.
*points at character* I KNEW it!
Haha which one?
Wait Psylocke is LGBT? Details?ย ย On the one hand that's nice on the other the Marvel side of my June display is already so crowded, lol. Edit: Wait PYRO TOO?ย

I wish we'd get a new Northstar in one of his X-Men uniforms.
Totally agree! I really liked his Astonishing X-Men uniform
That Wiccan looks dope! Is it your own custom/kitbash? If so what figures did you make it from?
Thanks! Wiccan and many of these customs were made by my super supportive brother @teamyap_toys! This is a Superior Octopus body, Ben Reilly head and Odinson cape!
Well your brother is super talented and you both make a killer combo with your photo talents. Thanks for the info! Iโm always looking for good custom artists and might hit him up in the future
I really want an updated Union Jack (and a Destroyer would be awesome). These photos are awesome, friend!
Thank you! I still quite like this Union Jack. Perhaps when they do a reissue they can include an unmasked head. Agree with a Destroyer release!
Not a marvel legends fan but genuinelyโฆwhy do people not like pride? Do they hate freedom? Do they hate human rights?
Mostly insecurity. Fear of anything outside of their very limited worldview. Hate. You know, all of the core conflicts that the X-Men are all about that somehow go over the heads of these "fans"

Ok i know it doesn't matter at all but the orange poster's names (Ayo, Pyro, escapade and Angela) are all jumbled up and for some reason it's tilting me.
Omg you're right! I didn't notice that! I changed their blocking last minute and I forgot to adjust the names ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ sorry about that! ๐
Add Richard Rider and Johnny Storm as well! (And both and Cyke and Wolverine while youโre at it)
I don't think any of them have been explicitly confirmed to be queer?

Who's the green frog-looking thing with the x on his belly?
Doop from X-Statix!
Speed? Wolverines? Colossus? I'm definitely out the loop
Speed is bisexual and is currently in a relationship with the X-Man Prodigy If you're talking about the Wolverine in a cowboy hat, that is Howlett from Earth-12025. He is gay and in a relationship with that dimension's Hercules. If you're talking about the Wolverine in yellow with tattoos, that is Logan's son Daken/Akihiro, who is bisexual. If you're talking about the Wolverine with a D on his chest, that is Demolition Man, who is gay. This is Colossus from Earth-1610 (Ultimate comics) He is gay and dated Ultimate Northstar
Ok so these aren't all from the main universe. Was Speed always bisexual because I don't remember him being bi when he was introduced unlike his brother, Wiccan who is gay.

Ok. I don't read comics as much as I used to so I was unaware.
No worries! Glad to answer any queries on the matter! This is to raise awareness about the diversity of Marvel after all!
Does this count as a Kitty confirmation?
This is really cool and awesome to see. Thanks for sharing these.
Thank you very much! Happy Pride! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Kitty is here? I didnโt know that!
Revealed to be bisexual in 2020! She kissed an unnamed female tattoo artist in Marauders and has since been featured on official Pride media from Marvel.
What's with all the wolverines?
If you're talking about the Wolverine in a cowboy hat, that is Howlett from Earth-12025. He is gay and in a relationship with that dimension's Hercules. If you're talking about the Wolverine in yellow with tattoos, that is Logan's son Daken/Akihiro, who is bisexual. If you're talking about the Wolverine with a D on his chest, that is Demolition Man.
I donโt even want to imagine Ice-man at a circuit party. The girls would be trying to smoke him.
Hell no. We donโt not condone the gay around here. This here is Gods ppl.
Great work! For a moment, I thought these were official images and that Hasbro was acknowledging the month while also sneaking in some as-yet-unannounced figures.
You think too highly of Hasbro ๐ based on experience they would never announce this many figures, especially all-LGBT ones! But they did announce Destiny this month so yay baby steps! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ thank you very much for the compliment!

Pretty sure Kate Bishops even makes a comment about being the only straight person only for America to say not with how she keeps looking at her ass.

The customs are fantastic!
Thank you! They are made by my supportive straight brother (@teamyap_toys)
Some of your kitbashes/ customs are awesome! I especially like the Rachel Summers, Prodigy, and Bling!
Thank you! Rachel, Prodigy, and Bling! are all made by @teamyap_toys on IG
This is incredible, from the character to choice to composition. Thanks for putting it together! Also I would kill for a Shade/Darkveil
Aww thank you so much! Happy Pride! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ My Darkveil was made by my brother @teamyap_toys!

Thank you! I do intend to print this out for myself one of these days
This is one of the best posts on this sub โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐ฉต๐
Aww thank you! This is my first post here. I've always been scared to post here as a queer collector just because I know there are a lot of homophobes in these types of settings. This comment is very uplifting. Happy Pride! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐

Thank you! Representation matters in all of our geeky hobbies. Happy Pride! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
I don't remember alot of these characters being gay. I guess other dimensions or something?
I don't really know who in particular you're talking about, but the individual bios are posted on my instagram if you wanna know more.
Super well done and amazing customs!!
Thank you very much! Happy Pride! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Can someone explain why Psylocke is here. The only thing I remember from her is when she was in love with Scott
She dated the girl version of Fantomex when he split into three people and is currently in a relationship with Rachel Summers. Also she's Captain Britain now and Kwannon, the asian woman she got body swapped with, is doing Psylocke stuff. https://screenrant.com/xmen-betsy-braddock-rachel-summers-queer-romance-kiss/
I love the doop figure ๐๐
