Well, everyone knows from last year's CRISIS, I forget which one it was, that Supes-Prime and red-afro-ed Luthor were lovers.

Then Super-Prime went space-bananas and started beheading feline-themed former Titans and stuff. Should we 'mos be offended?

Nope. I don't think he was really gay... more "opportunistic"-gay, because Alex Luthor was his only chance for action... Kinda like str8 guys in prison.

E-2 Lois was his "Mom" and E-2 Supes probably woulda kicked his @$$ if he tried anything...

Afro-bearing white males like um, Bob Ross and Mr. Brady.

Hmm... this raises an interesting question...

Why the hell hasn't Superboy-Prime gone after the Joker for shooting his lover?

You know... you've got to wonder that if Alex Luthor was able to conjure up E-2 Lois from out of nowhere and claim to have saved her, couldn't he have saved Superboy-Prime's little girlfriend from whatever that issue he first appeared in was?

I have a HUGE crush on an afro-bearing white male right now, he has a beard too! *sigh*. Any similarities to any Lex Luthor pretty much end there though.

I didn't read any of this stuff so it's news to me but I have to say I find it pretty annoying when the only gay or black or (pick your minority) people in a comic are depicted as the villains and the heroes are all straight white privileged and good-looking.

We were so about to throw-down, ... but then you added "good-looking." Never much cared for those b-tards either, those good-looking people. WAY overrated. [Smile]

Well, you can't say we see many bisexual villains around... But, as I see it, most mainstream comic books - in my opinion - are pretty much "sexless". There is a bit of romance here and there, but not even villains are sex perverts in comic book world.
This is a huge contrast to TMK's Legion, which was probably the most sexually charged non-adult book ever published by DC.

Let's remember that Mr. Brady was gay.

But where's the evidence that Prime and Alex Luthor were lovers? I haven't read everything featuring the characters, so please tell me which issue I can find this in.

This is just conjecture with no facts. Lash was just having fun with the topic at hand.

DC makes no claims that these characters are/were gay.
