But I believe there were several Flashes and several Green Lanterns, and ... who cares how many Green Arrows there were ... I don't even know what he could do.
Sometimes a character dies and somebody else comes back with the identity. That's probably what they'll do this time. Some character nobody who actually reads comics nowadays knows about.
Of course he won't be DC's first gay comic book hero:
The "Gay Ghost" came out in the early 40s.
He was later renamed the "Grim Ghost."
I don't know if this is him or another "Grim Ghost" brought out by another label, but he still looks pretty gay.
That was back in the days when that word merely meant “happy”.
