DC’s New Superman Jon Kent Comes Out As Bisexual
DC has revealed that the current Superman, Jon Kent, will come out as bisexual in the upcoming Superman: Son of Kal-El #5. The recently-launched comic series follows the adventures of 17-year-old Jon Kent, son of Kal-El/Clark Kent, as he grapples with the huge responsibility of taking up the mantle as Superman. Jon will be entering into a romantic relationship with hacktivist Jay Nakamura in the upcoming issue. Writer Tom Taylor told IGN, “When I was asked if I wanted to write a new Superman with a new #1 for the DC Universe, I knew replacing Clark with another straight white savior could be a real opportunity missed. I’ve always said everyone needs heroes and everyone deserves to see themselves in their heroes. Today, Superman, the strongest superhero on the planet, is coming out.”
