Maybe Carey meant instead of homophobic is that Bobby probably is bi but just isn't that comfortable with exploring it?
I think that's what he meant, but it's not like it was shown.
I mean from his reaction from getting a secondary mutation it'd be understandable. If he was scared of standing out as a mutant because he looked different it wouldn't be a huge leap to imagine him being scared of standing out by admitting he's bisexual or dating/sleeping with another man.
And this is the part that was the most out of character from the whole thing. I mean, apart from the fact that he didn't actually have a(nother) secondary mutation and he's actually had to deal with the "the place where I was injured in ice form isn't changing back to flesh because it's not healed thing. Bobby has never been bugged by standing out. Bobby was a normal kid and was still the freak in his neighbourhood. Bobby's favourite people are Hank, Warren, The Thing and The Gargoyle. People who look very off and/or have extra limbs. Bobby has never been good at hiding his mutation and always was irked he had to. Bobby loves attention. So this whole thing made no sense to me.
Hehehe, anyway I'm sure wherever you decide taking the story will be great and if its still a tough choice you could always have alternate endings? Then you can make one the main and the other the 'What if?' like Marvel does all the time, lol. :)
I know they do, it kinda drives me nuts. ^^; I like AUs, but whenever I'm presented with a choice, for example, between reading a slash version or gen version of a fic, I get flustered. And I don't think I can write just two endings, because the tone would be different depending on what kind of story. Now, I have read stories in gen and slash versions that were good, and I've also read reincarnation!crossover and non-reincarnation!crossover versions of a series, and having seen how much had to be changed/added/removed to make those work... it seems like a lot of work. ^^;
