The man who plays the Hulk is weighing on the outing of an X-Man.
It was just a week ago (not counting the leak a few days prior) that young Bobby Drake came out (or was he outed) in All-New X-Men #44 by Brian Michael Bendis.
Young Jean Grey read Iceman’s mind and confronted him on his sexist comments about female teammates saying he was overcompensation because he’s gay. Bobby and Jean eventually bonded and he did confess to her but wondered why his old self isn’t gay – or is he?
While readers, religious leaders and GLBT activists have sounded off on the story development actor Mark Ruffalo of Avengers: Age of Ultron has made his support clear.
The actor who plays Bruce Banner says, “I applaud your work on Iceman @BrianMBendis via Twitter and Tumblr “Nice job, Axel & Brian. I’m really glad this story is being told.”
Here again is how Editor-In-Chief explains the creative process behind the story.
Bobby’s story will continue in Uncanny X-Men #600. The milestone issue is the final issue of the Bendis run on the franchise.
Ruffalo smashes as Hulk in Avengers: Age of Ultron this Friday.
