Who are your favorite queer super heroes in comics? (Pick as many as you like)

Below find a list of every LGBTQIA+ super-hero in comic books that we could think. Pick your favorites -- you can select as many as you like. The most-popular options will be discussed in an upcoming episode of/event for the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast.


Note that we are focusing on HEROES -- not villains or supporting characters -- that have been canonically identified as queer in COMIC BOOKS. If the character is only queer in other media, or if their sexuality was only implied or acknowledged off page, we did not include them in the list. We also stuck almost completely to primary continuities.
