Last Saturday, Mutant Watch invited Patti from X-Men podcast Mutant Musings to discuss asexual representation in X-Men comics. Rapidly facing the fact that explicit representation is practically absent from the canon, we wrapped our head around subtext, headcanons, possibilities and the particular challenges of portraying asexuality (and therefore failures of X-Men comics in doing so). There’s talks about Illyana and Doug from New Mutants, Nature Girl and Eye Boy from Generation X, Laura Kinney, Benny from Children of the Atom, and more. Watch the full discussion here:
