There aren’t a lot of bisexual characters in our media, but at Woman Write About Comics we wanted to highlight some of our favorite bisexual comic book characters.
The character I decided to talk about was David Alleyne best known for New Mutants and Young Avengers. I just adore David so much and he got such a bad wrap during the Young Avengers run. Even so I wanted to talk about how important David is as one of the few characters in any fictional medium that actually stated he was bi and was a person of color.
So fandom may not have loved David but I did and I was really happy to have gotten the chance to highlight his importance in this piece.
Excerpt:
So a lot of people might not know much about David Alleyne, he played a moderately important part in various X-men storylines, specifically as a member of the New Mutants and the New X-men. David’s mutant powers consisted of the ability to telepathically absorb the knowledge and skills of those around him. However, David lost his powers after M-Day. Instead of leaving the X-Men, David continued to work with them until he was recruited by Scott Summers (aka Cyclops) to lead the young new X-men on the island of Utopia. After Cyclops and Wolverine parted ways, David stayed on Utopia and led the team until it’s destruction.
