?Meet Bunker. He’s a new Teen Titan, who appears in Teen Titans #3. Also, if you couldn’t tell by his incredibly pink and purple outfit, he’s gay. This is news because it’s 2011 and everyone’s shocked when superhero comics acknowledge there are other ethnicities and sexual orientations. Whee. Actually, I don’t care about that; I’m more intrigued about how Bunker joined the Teen Titans pretty much right after Miles Morales became the new Ultimate Spider-Man. I’m sure it’s just a huge coincidence.

Anyways, so which company wins the diversity award? DC’s gay Mexican or Marvel’s half-black half-Latino? DC’s real universe Teen Titan or Marvel’s Ultimate universe Spidey? I’ll tell you who wins: Archie, because their homosexual character Kevin Keller is getting married in the already amazing bonkers Life with Archie. That’s right; Riverdale is more progressive than most of actual America. Anyways, keep trying, Marvel and DC. Maybe you’ll catch up with Archie one day! Maybe! (Via The Mary Sue)
