Axel Alonso’s comment in a recent interview on CBR, talking about diversity in Marvel characters:

“Also, Striker just came out of the closet in “Avengers Academy,” and Wiccan and Hulkling continue to play a huge role in “Young Avengers/Avengers: Children’s Crusade.” I feel like I’m just getting started.”

“Just came out?” Or… about to come out? Christos Gage has been tweeting:

“Regarding Striker: Make sure to pick up AVENGERS ACADEMY #23 in a couple weeks. I’ll have a lot more to say when the story’s out!”

My thought process:

"Oh, cool, another gay character! About time we had another open one who actually gets real facetime. But why is he fighting OH JESUS WHAT HAPPENED TO HER ARM."

That's some bad plotting right there, holy crap. It's almost impossible to tell what's going on, people (and apparently bugs) that are close to the guy in the close shots are missing in the long shots, the equipment structure appears and vanishes, how he winds up with his right but fires with his left, and where the hell does the big bug come from anyway?

And that's not even counting the awkward posing and anatomy issues.

Wasn't Striker the one who was being molested by a Hollywood type producer when his powers kicked in?

Are we supposed to be happy about this? I mean, I stopped reading Avengers Academy a while ago, but Striker was a horrible person. Isn't he a borderline psychopath obsessed with fame who sicced Whirlwind on his team just to get press?

1. Mettle's awesome (reminds me of Rockslide)
2. Veil's leaving the team makes sense - she's cured! She never wanted to be superANYTHING and I respect her decision.
3. Finesse seems to be getting better, morally speaking.
4. Hazmat's a little angsty, but hey what do you expect for someone who can argue that Rogue got off easy?

Yea...this doesn't make me hate Striker any less. The guy's a jerk and I've yet to see him actually redeem himself. But, I do hope that he can actually grow to become a better person. Hell isn't that one of the points of this series? For some of these kids to become better?
