I dunno if that was a question of politics so much as it was a question of Northstar being pretty useless, and thus being "safe" to make gay.

They should make Captain America gay. That'd be political.

- o86, who'd be impressed if they could make him black.

What about Native American, ala 1602?

I can see Marvel making Captain America gay, as it would be short-sighted and cheap. (Cap has been shown to be defintely straight at various points, so it would be a cheap retcon.)

Dom
-wants to burn every copy of 1602, and not just for that indian thing.

I'm with Dom on both counts. But it'd still amuse me.

Good work on the Robotics Team.

Didn't they do a retcon story where the very first Captain America (before this Steve Rogers guy showed up) WAS an African-American?

I dunno, I'm too poor to pay attention. Although now it'd just scream Obama cash-in, and that'd be several flavours of lame.

Speaking of, see IDW is now publishing Obama comics? I want to know if they had backup McCain comics in case it went the other way. Ha. Hahaha.

Are you thinking of "Ultimates"?

As for the Obama comics, I doubt that there were back-up McCain comics. They waited long enough since the election that the comics were all likely written after November.

-notes that the "McCain" comic read better than the "Obama" comic.

No, it was an actual mainstream comic, about an African-American guy that they tested the Super Soldier serum on before they did it with Steve Rogers. Let me see if I can't find him...

Here we go, Isaiah Bradley's the guy's name. Seems like he's firmly stuck in continuity, too, as the grandfather of one of the Young Avengers.
