Northstar (aka Jean-Paul Beaubier) dated Russian musclestud Colossus in Ultimate X-Men, but they never kissed and later, Northstar ended up being captured and over dosing on mutant steroids. Before that, Marvel killed off Northstar in three separate storylines, staging one of his deaths around Pride month of 2005! Northstar got stabbed to death by Wolverine, shot by Cable, and blown up by Skrulls —it seems that flying at super speeds and creating blinding flashes of light won't save you from everything. It seems Marvel has resurrected Northstar yet again for Nation X, a series being handled by openly gay comic artist and writer Tim Fish.

The Nation X storyline will show how Northstar handles a long-distance relationship with his black San Francisco boyfriend, Kyle. "I think there's a lot about Northstar that's unexplored," Fish tells Marvel.com. "He's an arrogant jerk on the surface, but what's underneath?" When Wolverine asked him to rejoin the team, Northstar said "This isn't a gay thing, is it, Logan? The idea of being your mutant queer mascot appeals to me not one bit."

But because Northstar's a "famous jet-setter involved in incredible X-adventures," Fish sees "Kyle as a grounding influence on his life, someone to keep him stable and reasonable." Fish suspects Kyle's used to Jean-Paul doing whatever he wants whenever he wants. Considering Jean-Paul's skiing, business ventures, and the super hero bit, I would think Kyle's got to be the easy-going type."
