LGBT Character Of The Week: Ultimate Colossus

Talk about your buns of steel! This week we take a look at one of the more drastic differences in the Marvel Ultimate universe, Ultimate Colossus. Still a Russian farm boy, (woof), in the Ultimate Universe he turned out a lot stronger, and a lot gayer. He is also much tougher than his 616 counterpart, even surviving a localized nuclear blast.

Colossus hasn't been romantically linked to many people in the Ultimate Universe yet, but he DID escort Northstar to the prom, and has remained in contact with him since. His roommate, Nightcrawler, was bothered by this, and began to avoid him.

Yes! Ultimate and 616 Colossus are yum-o and/or delish. 8D

He's been flat-out dating Ultimate Northstar for some time now. He even left Xavier's to go Emma Frost's school to be with him.

Oh and also, yes to his hotness.

PS, the moment in the hospital where Northstar tells Colossus he's cute and Colossus goes all metal with a *sproing* is both incredibly cute and sophomorically amusing.

Fan-FREAKIN-tastic. In general, I hate the Ultimate universe, but Colossus is a notable exception. Him and bits of Nick Fury. Sometimes he's epic awesome. Other times... not so much.

I can't be the only one who thinks that Ultimate Nightcrawler is a massive closet-case.

You most certainly are not. ;)

Comic of the Week

Northstar's Boyfriend Coming In January! You guys may recall I was a bit cranky about Northstar and his lack of lovin' about a year and a half ago. In fact, at the time, I issued a challenge to Marvel to get him a kiss by June 2009 or I would declare him not really gay. I have not forgotten about this. However, when the X-men moved to San Francisco this year, we were teased with the existence of what looked to be Northstar's boyfriend (and manager), so I delayed judgment until we could see more. Since then, Northstar hasn't had a lot of major appearances, as there have been about a thousand major crossover events in the Marvel universe in the last six months, and each one tends to disrupt the normal storyline for most books, including the many X-books. So I waited. Our patience seems to have been rewarded! Artist Tim Fish revealed on his blog that his upcoming story in Nation X #2 (which comes out in Jan.) is a story about Northstar, and will feature Kyle, his boyfriend in an 8-page story. I'm not sure if an actual kiss is in it, but it's implied that there is some lovin' going on. Check out some sketches of Northstar, Kyle, and Aurora below, and we'll keep you up to date when we get closer to Jan. NATION X #2 1/6/10 [TimFishWorks]...
