"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

It's getting more difficult to just make a new character.  Fifty years of comic books have really used up a lot of the cool superhero names, and nobody wants to get sued.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I'd pay to see Jubilee take a strap on from that cajun girl whatever her name was.

How the hell is it retconning? He was in the closet and he came out - that's not retconning anything.

Not to mention, if there is a more accurate pop culture metaphor for a closeted homo than a superhero ("lead a dull pretend life, often with a faux-girlfriend, during day and come out to be his secret-identity himself while wearing spandex at night") I'm yet to see it. Surprised any of them is straight.

I always thought that Green Lantern was kinda of crap hero anyway.  His weakness is the color yellow?  Pfft.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
