Although this may come as a surprise to fans of the films, it comes as no shock to comic book connoisseurs that the source material for Marvel and DC films has been full of LGBTQ superheroes for years. In the comics, several of the most iconic and beloved superheroes and villains have taken on queer iterations. This includes fan favorites Loki, who has expressed genderqueer and bisexual identities in Marvel Comics, and Harley Quinn whose relationship with Poison Ivy was confirmed to be more than platonic by the creators of her comics. Even Wonder Woman, one of, if not the most emblematic figures of superheroism, has been confirmed as queer in her comic book form. Renowned comic book writer, screenwriter, and novelist Greg Rucka discussed Wonder Woman’s woman-inhabited home of Themyscira, “It’s supposed to be paradise… You’re supposed to be able — in a context where one can live happily, and part of what an individual needs for that happiness is to have a partner — to have a fulfilling, romantic, and sexual relationship. And the only options are women… Now, are we saying Diana has been in love and had relationships with other women?… The answer is obviously yes.”
