Iceman Goes to a Gay Bar & Meets a Dangerous Love Interest in 'All-New X-Men #13'

Bobby Drake—a.k.a. beloved X-Men character Iceman—came out as gay last year in an April issue of All-New X-Men. The creators went back in time to have a teenage Iceman come to terms with his sexuality before his adult self even had. More than a year later, one of the founding X-Men is coming into his own, but of course there's a dangerous twist. Spoilers ahead.

In All-New X-Men #13, released this week, Iceman hits the town with fellow mutants Oya and Genesis. Oya attempts to flirt with a cute guy, but quickly realize she's in the wrong place and instead attempts to help Iceman find a suitor. At first, things don't go well for our hero Bobby, who ends up freezing himself and running out of the bar embarrassed.
