transmetahuman Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Re: Hero's List Well' date=' in the Astro City collection [i']The Tarnished Angel[/i], we find out that one of the 'black hats' (minor hireling supervillains) who's already been killed*, the Chain, was gay and apparently had a loving relationship with his partner. Myself, I don't know why showing a villain who happens to be gay as being nasty with his/her lovers would be odd: if they're violent and narcissistic enough to become supervillains, I can't help but to thin that they'd be bad news for anyone to get involved with. Well, yes and no. The way super-villains are usually depicted, this is exactly what I meant. But I loved Tarnished Angel (didn't remember the minor gay character though) and Steeljack; it's probably my all-time favorite Astro City story. I'm not surprised it had exactly the kind of sympathetic depiction of a gay super-villain I was talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
