It might be because I grew up watching Britcoms like 'Allo 'Allo, but lines like that never fail to elicit a giggle from me. I like comics that are not afraid to be a bit silly, they should be fun, and that is why I love Herc right now.
Herc is about the only character I would accept being not only completely chill that Bobby was gay, but was completely unaware that he was pretending to be anything else.
"Herc, I want to tell you something... I'm gay"
"Yes.... and"
"No, I mean I'm gay... I like guys"
"Of course thou dost. T'was ever thus, was it not?"
"No... it was not...well, yes it was, but I didn't tell anyone. I pretended to be straight... How could you know"
"Friend Robert, I am older than any structure build by the hands of man that stands upon this continent... dost thou not think I knew of your preferences, no matter how thou hidst them?"
"I had no idea"
"But when we were on the Champions, I asked you if you would enjoy the role of eromenos to my erastes."
"I thought that was you asking me if I liked some weird Greek food."
I've been saying ever since he came out that Herc is the only male partner I'd be okay with. Otherwise you know we'll just get a repeat of Black Panther and Storm where Marvel just picks the highest profile character that they can pair him off with even though it makes no sense. If that happens then Northstar's current marriage is doomed.
Obviously the focus is supposed to be on Herc but what's the deal with Warren these days? This looks like classic Angel and last I remember he lost his memories and thought he was an actual Angel.
