Marvel Comics Hosts First Gay Wedding in 'Astonishing X-Men' | Culture News | Rolling Stone
Jean-Paul Beaubier, aka Northstar, a Canadian with piercing blue eyes and silver-streaked black hair who can move and fly at superhuman speeds, will propose to his longtime boyfriend and partner, Kyle Jinadu. Oh, Canada!
Marvel also killed off Peter Parker's Spiderman, too, and have replaced him with a half-black, half-Latino teenager named Miles Morales. Marvel's editor-in-chief is a man named Axel Alonso, who is half-Mexican and half-British, and the Spiderman writer, Brian Michael Bendis, has two adopted daughters, one a 4½-month-old African-American and a 3½-year-old from Ethiopia. They wanted to introduce more realism into the Spiderman character. More realism... into Spiderman. Spider... Man... Realism.... They actually said that.

Archie, Marvel Comics introduce gay characters amid election-year politics).
