An attempt at listing every single canonical LGBT+ character from any and all Marvel universes. What counts as canon? I will include characters who were not shown as LGBT+ in their source material, but where confirmed to be LGBT+ by their writers on social media/in interviews. Not all of these characters are good representation, some are seen as harmful and/or bad stereotypes or just evil characters, I am not condoning this representation they are merely on here since they are an LGBT+ character. And some characters listed here are minor characters who appear for one issue or one scene. I will only include shapeshifters if they have been stated to be genderfluid (e.g. Loki) but not shapeshifters who've presented as different genders for spying/pranks/impersonation/etc but have never been confirmed to be genderfluid (e.g. Mystique identifies as a woman despite sometimes shapeshifting into male forms). I'll put multisexual label for character's who are attracted to multiple genders but the specific label (bi/pan/poly/omni) isn't stated. I'll put sapphic/achillean for characters who have only been seen in same-sex relationships but haven't used the lesbian/gay/vincian label. I'm also not including any characters from other franchises that Marvel happened to publish comics of (e.g. Doctor Who, Transformers, Conan).It's hard to find what specific labels some characters use so apologies if I mistakenly label someone incorrectly. If you know of characters I haven't included or have corrections for me you can leave them on my guestbook.
