Which superhero was Living Lightning talking to, when he (Living Lightning) was revealed (to us readers, at least) as gay?
Not:
In-Betweener
Firebird
Wonder Man
Iron Man
Moon Knight
Jessica Drew
Clue: this hero was only somewhat connected to the Avengers

Nope
The connection to the Avengers is not only weak, it is disputed

Blacula has it! It was Flatman, who contacted Living Lightning while recruiting for the Great Lakes Avengers (or whatever their team name was then)!

Good shout Blacula!
I quite liked the GLA when Byrne introduced them.

You should all be ashamed for letting someone who's never bought a Marvel comic in their life win a Marvel question!  One day I intend to create a thread of random comic-related Top 10 lists and the first list on it will be "Top 10 Marvel Characters That This (Pre-nu52) DC-Only Fan Wishes Were In The DCU" and Living Lightning would definitely be on that list. I know almost nothing about him but for some reason he still seems kinda cool. This question rung a vague bell because I'm also a Paul Pelletier fan and I think I remember seeing Living Lightning in a 'Great Lakes Avengers' issue while I was flicking through it in a store for his artwork. --- OK question time: 1972's 'Adventure Comics' #416 was a special issue spotlighting DC's (then) "World's Greatest Super-Females". Who were the 20 DC "super-females" (heroes and villains) featured on the cover?

Living Lightning has a great concept! I’ve bought very few Marvel comics in my lifetime too, but when I found out he was gay I just had to check him out (not in that way...)

IB: I assume you meant Bonnie Baxter instead of Corky Baxter since he's her brother. Also, who's June Walton?
