[[File:TonySteveYA.jpg|link=Young Avengers|frame| Notice the hand? So have all the shippers.]]
Line 20 ⟶ 21:
* Captain America and Bucky. [http://superdickery.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&catid=29%3Aconfounding-comic-covers-index&id=1252%3Abucky-gets-bitch-slapped-and-it-is-awesome&Itemid=24 At least from Bucky anyway].
** Oh, honey, that's mutual. Cap almost constantly mourned Bucky when he was brought out of the ice; he had to be snapped out of it with an intervention. And there was an Elseworld where Namor woke Cap and the only word he could say was "Bucky."
* [[Captain America (comics)]] and [[Iron Man]] get this a lot too.
** The entirety of ''[[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]]: The Confession'' reads like a horrifically bad break-up between Cap and Tony Stark. Once you get to the point where Tony's sobbing over Cap's corpse and saying, "It wasn't worth it", it's practically undeniable.
*** As mentioned in the list of slashy moments, there's even a point in ''Civil War'' where [[Moon Knight]] tells Cap that he and Tony should just get a room and leave the rest of the heroing community out of their spat.
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
*** To top of all this off, Rogers and Stark are ''married'' on [[Alternate Universe|Earth-3490]] (in which Stark was [[Gender Bender|born as a woman]]). The featured image of the couple has [http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Natasha_Stark_%28Earth-3490%29 Cap and Natasha "Iron Woman" Stark kissing on their wedding day, in full costume].
*** It was only a matter of time before someone photoshopped Tony's signature beard (no, not Pepper) over said image.
** For that matter, the fans who ship [[Captain America (comics)]] and [[Iron Man]] together have a list of [http://community.livejournal.com/cap_ironman/539696.html one hundred and counting] [[Ho Yay]] moments between the two. Most look like nothing more than the actions of two [[Heterosexual Life Partners|teammates and good friends]], but several, including [http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/crimsonquills/slashymoments/Avengersv370-RedZone06-TheGreatEsca.jpg dramatic] [http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/crimsonquills/slashymoments/Avengersv370-RedZone06-TheGreatE-1.jpg mouth]-to-[http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/crimsonquills/slashymoments/Avengersv370-RedZone06-TheGreatE-2.jpg mouth] and ''especially'' one that is [http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/crimsonquills/slashymoments/Eyes.jpg just as (arguably) bad] as the Superman/Batman example above, make it [http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/crimsonquills/slashymoments/TonySteveYA.jpg fairly] [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/Muccamukk/Cap_IM/Avengers1-215.jpg difficult] to see the two as [[Just Friends]].
** And now, thanks to ''Dark Reign: Fantastic Four'', we have, as one commentator put it: [http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/162515.html "So they're basically saying that Tony and Steve aren't gay, but if they had the opportunity to have it be heterosexual, they'd totally get together."] Subtle, Marvel. Really.
** And ''that's'' without mentioning the time Tony's armour became sentient and started acting like [[Fan Nickname|an abusive boyfriend]], refusing to let him see his friends and current [[Love Interest]], demanding that Tony get inside it, and eventually taking him to an island and torturing him...where Tony's memories of Steve helped him keep fighting.
Line 51 ⟶ 52:
** In [http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/703263.html#cutid1 Nexus #102], {{spoiler|Ursula demands that Sundra leave Horatio so that the two of them, Ursula and Sundra, that is, can raise Sundra and Horatio's newborn son Harry together. Ursula also says to Sundra "But I loved you...I always...loved...you."}}
* In ''[[Supreme Power]]'', Mark Milton (Hyperion) and half the male cast members, most notably Blur and Doc Spectrum. His first battle with Spectrum is a BDSM-laden spectacle, complete with Mark begging him to hit him.
* Marvel's ''[[Incredible Hercules]]'' features the titular muscular shirtless demigod [[Public Domain Character]] traveling around with teenager Amadeus Cho. The innate Ho Yay was [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by the Amazons in issue #121, who kidnapped Cho upon mistaking him for Herc's [[wikipedia:Eromenos|eromenos]]. A shocked Cho replies "I've read those internet postings too, and take it from the source, it's total bull!" followed soon by a defensive "The technical term is 'adventuring companions.'" Pages [[media:
** In the ''Prince of Power'' mini, one villain taunts Cho by saying "Heard someone killed your boyfriend." Cho doesn't bother responding.
*** Said mini also features one character (Delphyne, the same one appearing in the above-linked scenes) openly state that she believes Cho cares about Hercules above all others.
Line 83 ⟶ 84:
*** There's [[Word of Gay]] for Terra? Really?!...Link please-and-thank-you.
* Okay, so there was some homoeroticism in the interaction between Phat and Vivisector in ''X-Force'' and ''X-Statix''. It's just that after a while it was revealed to not be subtextual at all; the fat man and the werewolf bang.
* Aside from the apparent dates between [[Captain America (comics)]] and [[Iron Man]], the ''[[Marvel Adventures]]: Avengers'' series pulled off some [[Les Yay]] between Storm and Giant-Girl when Hatemonger's emotion-influencing device went haywire. The two went from yelling their heads off and attacking each other to an embrace and talking about how jealous they were of each other. [[Spider-Man]] even mutters "Maybe... they're gonna..." to himself as the other Avengers watch.
* Heavy hints were dropped about Cassie Hack's sexuality a couple of times in early ''[[Hack Slash]]'' stories, before it was confirmed that she was a bisexual in the ongoing comic series.
* Rictor and Shatterstar of ''X-Force'' were heavily implied to have feelings for each other that went beyond being best friends, complete with late-night conversations about why Shatterstar was so uninterested in the beautiful women hitting on him in clubs, [http://i56.tinypic.com/akvjmp.jpg unsubtle text boxes], holding hands in the moonlight, and taking one room with just one bed in the X-Force '99 annual. Both characters more or less disappeared for a while, then Rictor shows up in ''X-Factor''. There, he confirms he swings both ways, but denies that he's interested in Quicksilver - then, Jamie makes a sly comment about Shatterstar and Rictor chokes on his drink.
