@MatthewAFrost As noted here, the "no-homo" policy applies across the board unless Marvel has a gay alter-ego.https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/611940146687135744 …
@chrisgeidner So, no conversion of existing presumed-straight characters, unless the rights-holder/designee makes a new gay character.
@MatthewAFrost @chrisgeidner Which is, by the way, exactly what is happening with Iceman of the X-men. Not unheard of.
@chrisgeidner Context: this is from the Sony dump, right? Essentially, the designee is limited strictly to existing Marvel canon attributes.
@chrisgeidner I could see that being a sensible limitation in a high-value contract unlikely to revert back, in order to prevent divergence.
@chrisgeidner If this is Marvel internal documentation, hamstringing comic authors, that's different.
