Re: Alternate Sexualities in Champions and Supers settings
From what I see, the difference would only be whether or not:
1) Metagame: the player is comfortable playing said character in that way. If yes, not a problem. If no, then why did they create said character that way.
2) Metagame: how exactly would their sexuality impact upon the game. Something that the player and GM would have to work out.
3) Is the character open or closeted? Depending on the standing of the character, if open, the character could be a poster for either gay rights activists or the anti-gay.
4) Or the character's sexuality may not be significant other than as a footnote, indicating which NPCs the character may spend time with when not doing spandex stuff.
What characters do we know of that are of alternate sexualities from source material?
Superman, Apollo, Midnighter, Batwoman, Saber and Cannon, Northstar, Vision, Renee Montoya just to name a few.
