Not canon, something from an interview, from The Comics Journal #57:
Byrne: Chris [Claremont] keeps souring me on characters. He soured me on Colleen Wing when he told me that she was a) bisexual and b) promiscuous. She sleeps with anything because she's looking for the big O. And I don't want to know that. I didn't need to know that to draw her, but I couldn't draw her properly from then on. It was like, "Who is this weird lady that I'm drawing here?" And every time I put her in any kind of costume or in danger or any kind of a tied-up situation, I knew that it had a totally different meaning for Chris from that point on.
Itkowitz: Well, didn't you know that before Chris told you? You had no inkling at all?
Byrne: No, I liked Colleen Wing right up until he laid that brilliant little bit of characterization on me. But my idea of sexuality and what's exciting and what's stimulating is a long way from Chris's. We merge at some points, but just because I think The Story of O is the best movie ever made has nothing to do with...
