Superman and Robin came out as queer and achieved super-strength
Bios: In 1938, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shusters Action Comics #1 was released, introducing the world to Kal-El, aka Clark Kent, aka Superman. Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, Superman would soon became one of the most widely known characters in the world. Since then, hes been adapted to appear in radio serials, books, movies, television shows, and even a flopped 1966 Broadway production called Its a Bird
Its a Plane
Its Superman. The character has also been portrayed in alternate storylines throughout his eight+ decades, even getting a super-son, Jon Kent, in the recent Superman: Son of Kal-El.
In 1940s Detective Comics #38 by Bill Finger, the character of Dick Greyson first became Robin, sidekick to Batman. Like the Superman franchise, the dynamic duo has appeared in near-countless forms of media throughout the years. Robin has even evolved past Greyson to include other characters assisting the Caped Crusader. That includes Tim Drakeone of several Robins to fight alongside Batman in the comics.
Coming Outs: DC Comics marked National Coming Out Day in October by confirming a long-rumored development: Supermans son, Jon, came out as bisexual in the pages of Superman: Son of Kal-El on October 9.
In the comic, Jon Kent falls for his close friend, reporter Jay Nakamura. As Jon faces exhaustion from saving the world from constant threats, the emotional bond between he and Jay deepens.
