"I'm going to pretend you aren't calling Iceman a 'half man' because he's gay"

Huh. I assumed that was an anti-Semitic potshot (IDK about the modern version of the character, but Iceman was Jewish back when I was still regularly reading X-Men comics).

Is he really gay now, or is that just fandom speculation? If so, that's cool. I'm always in favour of more queer superheroes.

Huh, I didn't know about the Jewish thing, like I said, I don't really follow the comics too much.

There's two Icemen right now. One is the younger version brought forward in time and he's gay. The older version is now deeply confused.

You're behind. Adult Bobby came out as well.

Iceman is gay, yes. His mother is Jewish and his dad is Irish Catholic, but he isn't depicted as religious in any way so I doubt they meant that. It's an obscure trivia, not well-known like Kitty being Jewish.

You do know that Jewish is an ethnicity as well as a religion, right?

My point was that it's an obscure trivia that almost never gets brought up. You can read a ton of Iceman stories without ever hearing about it.
