This may be well-known, but I just found out about it by accident the other day.
Anyway, Roy Thomas originally planned on including a gay male Harlequin among the members of Infinity, Inc.! Looks kind of cool!

I actually have never heard of this before! They should totally introduce that character now!

Here's the original article from which it's taken!

That would have been great! I'm sure the fact that Obsidian turned out to be gay is really more coincidental than anything else, but it is a nice parallel.

I still haven't actually read the article, but it looks like Obsidian started out as a junior version of the Spectre, which is kind of interesting!

I just read the article. It seems like Obsidian was always a GL offspring. In the first part of the article, Roy states that they considered the Spectre and Dr. Fate too powerful and so they didn't make offspring for them. But then later on he talks about an adopted African-American son for the Spectre.
