Is he strong? Listen, bud...he's got radioactive blood.And I walked out of the 2003 Spiderman during the first scene, when Peter Parker, narrating, insists that "Like all stories, this story is about [a boy and] a girl." Horrifying heterosexism!
But I may have to rethink my anti-Spidey sentiments.
The Ultimate Spiderman (2012-), an animated series on Disney XD, has a teenage Peter Parker being trained by the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (I don't know what they are, either).
During his adventures, Peter encounters teenage versions of just about every superhero in the Marvel Universe, mostly being voiced by uber-muscular actor/models. The 10 Ultimate Hunks are:
2.Ogie Banks as Luke Cage (the African-American Hero for Hire of 1970s comics).
3. Greg Cipes as Danny Rand, aka Iron Fist.
4. Matt Lanter (left) of 90210 as Harry Osborn, Peter's best friend, destined to become his nemesis, the Green Goblin
6. Travis Willingham as the blond god Thor.
7. Roger Craig Smith as 1940s Superhero Captain America
9. Bodybuilder Terry Crews, formerly of Everybody Hates Chris, as Blade.

The X-Men cartoon (1992 - 1997) had gay/bisexual characters. but you had to know that from the comics, because the cartoon only had a few shape shifting characters who could change gender. Likewise, the Superman cartoon (1996) had a few episodes with a gay character (and her girlfriend). But, if you didn't read the comics, you might miss it.
