Rob Liefeld is Hatin on Shatterstar and Rictor hooking up

As most of us comic book geeks rejoice over the Shatterstar and Rictor kiss, some folks don't. Especially, one of the original artists and creator of Shatterstar, Rob Liefeld.

Rob Liefeld isn’t happy about the latest plot development involving Shatterstar, the Marvel superhero

he introduced 18 years ago.

Last week’s X-Factor #45 ended years of speculation, and in-story hints, about the relationship between Shatterstar and Rictor by showing the former X-Force teammates — both C-list players in the X-Men universe — reuniting with a kiss.

On his blog, X-Factor writer Peter David assured fans the development “isn’t a fake out.”

Liefeld, however, wishes otherwise.

“… I have nothing against gays, I have gay family, nuthin’ but love here,” he wrote on his message board (registration required). “Ditto gay characters if that’s what their true origins are.

“As the guy that created, designed and wrote his first dozen appearances, Shatterstar is not gay. Sorry. Can’t wait to someday undo this. Seems totally contrived.”

Created by Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza, Shatterstar debuted in New Mutants #99 (March 1991) before becoming a fixture of X-Force when the series launched a few months later.

Seems totally contrived, Rob? We can say that about your art as well.

Gay Comic Books Geeks: Shatterstar and Rictor KISS!!

Wow, I kind of thought...maybe fantasized about this, but I never thought this would happen!

If y'all ever read the 90s versions of the New Mutants/X-Factor/X-Force, you know Rictor and Shatterstar.

Rictor is the cute Mexican mutant who can cause earthquakes



Shatterstar is the mysterious refugee from Mojoworld with a cute face and fierce warrior streak.





They came on the scene during my high school years and I'm enjoyed them ever since. Now with this new revelation, I have to go through my old comics to find signs.

This is so rad! Check out X-Factor 45
