That sounds plausible until you think about the fact that they just made a huge deal about and did press releases promoting their gay-marriage issue with Northstar and his boyfriend, and Marvel is publishing more and more stories with characters who are bi or gay all the time.

Its probably something much less mustache twirling than Disney hates the gays. Probably something boring like production timing while translating the line to Marvel Infinite, or deciding to hold him back for a SDCC Alpha Flight 3 pack that could be 1/3 completed and ahead of the game by doing so.

But the "Disney doesnt want to market gay characters" does sound more exciting and scandalous!

That damn E.T. game did sucked ass .. the only other bigger disappointment was when I rushed home with Atari 2600 Pac-Man..you want to see a 13 year old nerd rage? ... get a time machine and set it for my house, 1982.
