I’ve thought a lot about how to bring comics into newer times, and I really think there needs to be some casting changes. Now I’m not saying we have to ditch the ionic characters, but it’s time to see other characters stepping up and becoming icons themselves. Not to mention, this might start attracting a bigger audience.

Queer Comic Characters: Apollo (Oct 31st)

Filed under: Queer Comic Book Characters Series — Tags: DC: Batman, DC: Superman, We read comics too, Wildstorm: Apollo, Wildstorm: Jenny Quantum, Wildstorm: Midnighter, Wildstorm: The Authority, Writer: Ed Brubaker, Writer: Mark Millar, Writer: Warren Ellis — Erica @ 8:11 am

I kicked off the month with Midnighter, so it seems fitting to end it with Midnighter’s husband Apollo. This also makes Apollo the fourth queer character from the Authority to grace my blog for LGBT History Month.

Apollo

Apollo and Midnighter are presented as opposites of one another and opposites attract. Apollo wears white and is modeled after Superman compared to Midnighter’s black and Batman-like attitude. Apollo’s generally more jovial and light-hearted. He’s also solar powered; and his powers increase with more sunlight (even directly from being inside the sun), and without sunlight, he starts to power down. (more…)
