@queerhavok
welcome, welcome, welcome to my dumpster full of subtext regarding the queerness of my beloved alex "havok" summers!
this blog is mostly meant to be a repository of panels i find as i read through current and past comics. you can find my tagging system by clicking the "navigation" tag below to explore different facets of the subtext, because there are more than a few.
hope you enjoy this as much as i do!

Lorna Dane in her "is it heterosexuality or gender euphoria?" era of her and Alex's relationship...
panels from X-Men #97 (Claremont/Cockrum/Grainger/Warfield/Kawecki)
Thinking about this panel from Hellions #12 again and I want to just point out that in this single panel, Alex is standing at the centerpoint between Lorna, Mystique, and Kate, which means he is:
Standing in the center of a Bermuda triangle of Bobby Drake's failed attempts at heterosexuality.
Standing between the other participant of his own failed wedding (hi Lorna) and the other iconic failed left-at-the-altar romance of the X-Men (Kate and Piotr).
And also standing between two WLWs, one of whom was a problem to resurrect and the other of whom is a queer woman with a past presenting as a man who has at this point been fighting like hell to resurrect her wife...
...While begging Erik to explain why they won't resurrect his dead, politically unpersoned ex-lover.
Alex, honey, you are never beating the trans WLW allegations at this rate.
in which alex is once again the one to understand maddie, explicitly because they're "the same," and all scott can respond with is alarm that alex is wearing maddie's clothes again
truly, the most cishet of scenes
panels from Dark Web: X-Men #1 (writer Zeb Wells, art by Rod Reis, letters by Cory Petit)

Image #1 is from X-Men #60, Image #2 is from X-Men #61 (both Thomas/Adams/Palmer/Rosen). Image descriptions in alt text.
Cannot stop thinking about Alex claiming Inferno made him more deadly while dressed in a mirror of Maddie's outfit immediately after Malice!Lorna claims deadliness is a women's virtue. Louise. Louise. What does this mean.

"james dean drag" is a collection of times the artist made Alex look, pose, or dress like james dean, noteworthy tragic bisexual.
"lady tops" collects all the times it's clear that alex exclusively goes for dominant women who almost always make the first move.
"loving the Other" collects moments where alex cares for or is explicitly attracted to things about people that make them social others.
"gender is a performance" and alex summers is a chris fleming ensemble girl. this tag collects moments where alex tries too hard at heteronormative masculinity.
"fear of monstrosity in the self" is exactly what it says on the tin; it collects times when alex worries about whether or not his powers or other aspects of himself make him a monster.
"maddie parallels" denotes times when, well, alex's situation parallels madelyne pryor's.
"the metaphor" collects moments where alex's experience of being a mutant feels directly evocative of a queer iteration of the mutant metaphor.
"homoeroticism" collects moments where there is queer subtext between Alex and another character.
"fashion plate" collects all of Alex's costumes and other outfits over the years.
