In the latest issue of its Iceman comic book series, Marvel Comics introduces a new superhero named Shade.
Shade is a mutant superhero drag queen, the first-ever drag queen in a Marvel series.
According to Mashable, Shade "possesses teleportation powers, and "can create and enter a pocket dimension inside her handheld folding fan."
Shade will be included in the latest issue of the Iceman series, which was written by an openly gay man named Sina Grace.
The lead character in the Iceman comic book series is named Bobby Drake, who is gay.
"I really wanted this series to push readers to new and better stories about the whole queer experience and how it applies to being both a mutant and a superhero," Grace said in a recent interview with The Advocate. "There's a million different queer perspectives and we're only scratching the surface."

So, what’s new; weren’t Batman & Robin the original ambiguously gay duo?
*SIGH*......I remember Tom & Jerry...Heckle & Jeckle...Lil Lotta...Baby Huey...Superman...Batman...Aquaman...Red Ryder...Lone Ranger....
What the h*ll do kids read today????????????
Not my 1960s-70s Marvel.
What’s its secret identity?
That’s not enough. I *demand* a one-armed, one-legged Displaced Palestinian intergenderqueer with AIDS and a piss-poor attitude superhero whose secret power is to scream and cry until shi gets what shi wants. :P
Whatever happened to Captain Marvel ?
Typical for CBS News.
Oh great! More comics about demoKKKrats.
There are 3 genders, male, female and 397 types of queer.

Thay are pandering to a limited market. Normal people aren’t going to buy this crap, no matter how bad you want it to be normal.
Guess he ain’t much of a marvel anymore. What about “Flash” Gordon?
The Invisible Girl must stay invisible to hide from LGBTQ persecution. :)
Spider-Man origin is rewritten so that he gets his powers from a hormone treatment gone bad. :)
She Hulk is now the same character as The Incredible Hulk, just depending on how he feels like identifying that day. :)
