Our amazing friends have joined us for this three-episode season of Amazing Friends origin stories! Dr. Christopher Roman, author of Queering Wolverine in Comics and Fan Fiction: A Fastball Special, brings his background as a professor specializing in comics studies and queer theory to analyze this depiction of one of the gayest X-Men \u2013 Iceman! And while there\u2019s plenty of queerness to pull from Bobby\u2019s coming out story (told through a futuristic mind probe\u2026for some reason) it\u2019s also split with a Videoman return that doesn\u2019t quite give Iceman his due.
\nWe\u2019re watching Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends: Season 2, Episode 1: \u201cThe Origin of Iceman\u201d.
