There's no way to declare a character as being absolutely heterosexual. The reason we have so many straight or straight by default characters is because of the censorship of the comics code(amongst other things). Yet a lot of the people who complain about the idea of them updating characters that were in some cases always intended to be bisexual(Wolverine, Storm, Hercules come to mind) are often the ones that complain about censorship in other avenues.

And yes, the fact that there's more outrage over the idea of a Bi Steve Rogers than a Nazi version of an superpowered Irish Immigrant created by Jewish authors and a Jewish scientist is absolutely poisonous.

We're going incredibly off topic again, folks.
