But wait! We were invisible and the most we could rely on in mainstream cape comics was subtext (Northstar, Mystique), or fan readings/theories on characters who may or may not be gay.

He succeeds and the message of the story at the end is that Bobby’s parents may be more than meets the eye and maybe he shouldn’t judge them too harshly.
The plot line raised questions about the character's present-day self, who presented himself as heterosexual -- until now. How did this happen?
