15 Superheroes and Villains Who Happen to Be LGBT

15. Deadpool is Flexible with his Sexuality

One of Deadpool’s comic writers described the spandex-clad mercenary as “omnisexual.” Tim Miller, the movie’s director, described him as “pansexual.” Whatever the label, he seems to swing every which way with no discrimination. So far, his actual dalliances have all been heterosexual, with a sprinkling of same-sex flirtations mostly played for laughs (at least on film). Rumor has it they’re going to delve more into his homoerotic side of his nature in the sequel, but don’t expect Wade Wilson to go out and catch feelings any time soon. Some have criticized this as mere “gay baiting,” but it will be interesting to see how far they go to break boundaries with this R-rated character.
