With Shattershar and Rictor bringing Marvel it's first gay kiss between major characters, here are another ten superheroes who broke new ground in comics.

Kissing boys in Bully earns X-Box players points (and bragging rights), Strangers in Paradise could be heading to our TV screens ... and is Shortpacked's gay character getting a boyfriend?
