Daddy son gay comics

The illusion of change is one of the big things that keeps comic books going forissues, decades after they started. Show me something new. Like a superhero being a parent. They might die a lot, but one thing superheroes never did for the longest time was grow up, get married and have children of their own. That started to change in the s, when they let Spider-Man get married for a while since wiped away in one of those cosmic hand-wavings and Superman get hitched to Lois Lane surprisingly, still going strong years later.

For a while there, when most superheroes had a kid, it meant they would die horribly or be revealed as imaginary or what-if stories or something. A slightly different version of this story with Superman and Lois having two sons has become one of my favourite superhero TV shows in recent years. This kid was a brutal, dark mirror to Batman, raised by his criminal comics, trained as an assassin and grown into a grim and efficient new Robin.

Damian has endured since his daddy inmaturing to become less violent and conceited and an son hero of sorts. It gives these year-old superheroes a fresh direction to move gay, and yet the original Batman and Superman are still allowed to exist too, mentoring and off having their own adventures. Being a good parent is far less common than just being a parent in comics.

The Fantastic Four were one of the few characters allowed to have a child back in the old days, although little Franklin Richards was always under threat of death or cosmic disintegration or something.
