Exceptional X-Men #2

This issue: Will Kitty get all the way through a date before mutant stuff interrupts? You know the answer already.




(More like Expositional X-Men, yuck yuck yuck)

Of course, given that under Claremont, every female was basically presented as bisexual via subtext...
And given Kitty's long, long history of intensely close female friendships with Illyana and Rachel and Storm...
And given how little chemistry she's ever had with guys (Pete Wisdom? Piotr Rasputin? Yeah no)
She's one of the least surprising X-Men to come out as bisexual in a casual way.

(And I bet we'll see Charlene again, either under Al Ewing's pen, or when some other queer writer has the opportunity.)

A whole heck of a lot of Claremont's males were less than 100% hetero too; Kurt and Logan, Charles and Erik, the entirety of the male presenting New Mutants...
