Noncanon Canon Queer DC characters
Let’s talk about them
It’s the last day of Pride Month and I’ve spent everyday talking about a different Queer characters, where I provided info and lore about the character and what comics they are currently in or even what events they might be apart of
But I thought on the last day it would be fun to talk about all the different DC characters that are kinda sort implied queer or are only queer in different worlds like the Arrowverse or Young Justice so on
Just cause. It’s actually a pretty weirdly long list. I honestly never realized just how many character are only Queer in these shows
this might not be everyone, but it's at least a good amount, I will also be noting the specific ones I wish were queer in canon runs
Let's get to it
Jackson Hyde
While yes he is queer in canon dc, in Young Justice (Earth-16) he is Bi and Poly, which is just an interesting change so I thought I would not it
Captain Cold
Is Pansexual in the Arrowverse CW show The Flash and specifically stated as Gay and with the Ray in Earth-10 within the Arrowverse. I would be fine with him being Pan, and I'm gonna be so real with y'all I love Captain Cold he's gotta be one of my favorite villains and him and the Rogues are so much fun
Mr. Terrific
Is gay in the Arrowverse, and if I'm being real I don't know how well I think this would work if it was at all canon, but in the Arrowverse then sure since I know he had basically very different lore in the show
White Canary
Is bisexual in the arrowverse in both the show the Arrow and DC Legends of Tomorrow and honestly I do not know about her outside of this world to say my feelings about it
I will also say there are insteresting choices they made with her in this world
Bart Allen
Impulse is described as Achillean in Young Justice which I actually find like an interesting choice, that made more sense then anything else. Plus I do feel as though you don't here enough about achillean all that much)
El Dorado
He is also described as Achillean in Young Justice, where much like Bart its canon but never outright said, but you can see him and Bart go on dates
I kinda like his design in the Young Jutice show, but I don't know a lot about him in general so I'm not sure if its weird considering this lore or anything but the outfit kinda fucks ngl
Halo
is nonbinary and queer in Young Justice
The character is redesigned and the storyline changed. Halo is now the reanimated body of Gabrielle Daoa, a Quraci refugee who had been kidnapped and used for metahuman trafficking.
Lagoon Boy
Bi and Poly in Young Justice. much to his dismay, saying Gamma always gets the "soft job". When he talks he uses many atlantean slang words. He is also shown to have the abilities to breath underwater and Enhance his strength with rune like tattoos, like Aqualad's
Nora West-Allen
XS is a Lesbian in the the Flash tv show, and I will be honestly I lowkey thought she was a Lesbian in canon. Also I forgot how much I love a lot of her art in the comics, she has such a good design
Joshua Williamson has stated that XS will show up at somepoint in the upcoming Legion of Superheroes book, so if you do like her as a character checking that out might be worth it
Penguin
Specifically queer and has feelings for the Riddler in the later half of the Gotham tv show. I would also like to mention that I really liked this show and his character within that show
Lena Luthor
Is interested in women within the Smallville tv show, I also thought she was queer in the supergirl show, but maybe all those edits got me
Tess Mercer was born as Lutessa Lena Luthor as the daughter of Lionel Luthor and Pamela Jenkins. After a few years, Lutessa was give up to an orphanage, run by Granny Goodness. Granny trained Lutessa to become the leader of her personal team - the Female Furies
Livewire
Is a lesbian in both the Harley Quinn show and in My Adventures with Superman
A popular vlogger who was well known for her makeup tutorials and pranks, Leslie Willis attempted to pull her biggest prank yet by rerouting Metropolis’ power grid to spell out a dirty word that could be seen from space. Her device was taken by Superman, but she insisted on attempting to carry out her plot anyways. When it went awry she was electrocuted, and so gained her electrokinetic powers
Stephanie Brown
Is specifically Bisexual in the Gotham Knights tv show.
Stephanie Brown is the daughter of Cluemaster. When he comes back into her life she finds her father back to his old tricks, except he no longer feels the need to leave clues behind. In an attempt to try and stop her father she created a costume of her own and began to call herself the “Spoiler”
Personally I love Stephanie Brown and I vote they make her Bi in canon and the reason dc won't do it is because they are cowards
Dr. Light (Hoshi), Big Barda, Lois Lane, Supergirl, Vixen, Hawkwoman, Mera, and Nell Little
Are all Sapphic or Bisexual are all in DC Bombshells, I'm not sure what was going on in that series that so many characters where queer but honeslty good for them
on the same note of DC Bombshells, Dinah Lance is actually Transfem within the series
