Avengers Academy; A Light Speed Shocker!

Well, it’s not so much shocking really. Who didn’t call it? I got a vibe from Striker in his first appearance of Avengers Academy, and hello he’s a ficitonal character, but he does look like he’s been shopping in Northstars closet. Am I right ladies?

But alas, it is nice to see more LGBT diversity in the Marvel universe. And speaking of, hello lady Lightspeed [Julie Power] putting the B back in LGBT. Let us not forget those who love who they love and defy those who tell them to “choose a side” within our gay umbrella of a community. I certainly hope this new outing will make his character less obnoxious and bring a new leading gay female character into the forfront of comics again (How I miss Runaways).  Striker reminds me of if Niel Patrick Harris and Tony Stark had a baby. HUZZAH!

Comics: Upside The Head!

Here at MaD we like to take a PSA break to forward you to sites that really are fighting the good fight for the LGBT community, even if they are in other countries. Slap Upside The Head  is a great news/political website that uses comic strips and satire to get their point across! Funny and enlightening, they are certainly something everyone should check out with posts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!

Paquin goes Rogue!…& then Bi!?!

In case you haven’t noticed, who ISN’T gay up here at Mutant A Day. For reals y’alls, we are all homosexuals and junk [insert Britney Spears accent]

In any case of course this isn’t a gossip blog, but when one of our favorite X-Men movie actresses lets the world know [and so nonchalantly I might add] that she’s a fan of the Gyne-er things in life, well hell, how can we not blog about it! Plus she’s so damn zexy when she’s southern!

The newest inductee into the LGBT community, Anna Paquin [y'all]

MaD’s triple H: Kerry Washington

Our MAD Hottie of the week is a friend to the GLBT community, has portrayed a lesbian business woman and a transsexual.  I am talking about none other then the beautiful Kerry Washington.

You might recognize her from such films as Ray, Save the Last Dance, She Hates Me and Life is Hot in Cracktown.  She has two comic book roles under her belt, first as Ben Grimm’s love interest Alicia Masters in Fantastic Four.  The second being lending her voice as Princess Shuri in the Black Panther Animated Series.
Not only is Kerry Washington gorgeous but a talented actress who is very versatile in her performances.  This is why she is the Mad Hottie of the Week!
