One of the Original X-Men Comes Out

In Marvel's All New X-Men the original team of teenage mutants, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Angel, Beast, and Iceman travel into the future to fight alongside their modern-day counterparts. In the leaked pages to the upcoming 40th issue, fans discovered that Bobby Drake/Iceman is gay.

While he's confused, because the modern day Iceman is straight, he finds comfort in psychic Jean Grey, who discovered his secret with her powers.
