@jersey girl — hmmm, you don’t sound so “pro-gay” to me. and i’m not exactly what you mean by “gayafy”ing everybody … do you realize that there are gay people in all walks of life? yes, there are gay people in the shows, songs, commercials and more without having to force anything.

Yes, I don’t see how a gay superhero is going to help to make homosexuality a non-issue. I’d like nothing better than if it were just a character trait, but it seems to be the central focus of this particular series. I hope it won’t be.

I read “Hero”, the book this series is being based on, despite the fact it is actually a young adult novel (So is “Twilight” so maybe I need to grow up!?).
Anyway, the story was much more complex and interesting than just some beefy guy in spandex shooting rainbows. He has issues with his father, and not just because he is gay. Issues with his fellow superheroes. Issues learning to use and control his powers. Plenty of stuff to fill at least one TV season and likely more!
My only problem with the book was the main character, annoyingly named Thom (just say Tom dammit), was pretty cookie-cutter boring besides not coming out to his dad. He could have been more interesting, but the author has a great imagination and thought up all sorts of cool heroes and villains for his universe, so there was always something to keep me interested in “Hero”. Hopefully it will be made into a series and not just stall in production.
