Northstar: Shining Pride
Added 2021-07-01 00:47:15 +0000 UTCFor those who are not comic savvy, Jean-Paul aka Northstar is the first openly gay superhero to come out of the closet in comic books. He was originally part of the Canadian superhero team called Alpha Flight and is now the leader of X-Factor. He can be heroic but make no mistake everyone knows JP can be a bit of an arrogant diva at times. Regardless we still love our speedster elf dad. I even have the issue where he first came out and this comic even made news way back in the 90s.
Obviously how could we celebrate Pride Month without the world's first openly gay superhero. From one moment in the 90s lead to the massive rainbow of superheroes we have now. We owe a lot to Northy. Now enjoy him showing you some leg.
