Ragneron is a comic book series about the first gay, black superhero, written by gay, black rapper Milan Christopher and illustrated by Michael Luster, dedicated to the memory of Nigel Shelby, who committed suicide to escape homophobic bullying in 2019.
The premise: mild-mannered Chris Smith accidentally touches an extraterrestrial crystal, and gets superpowers, including super-strength and the ability to manipulate atoms and molecules. He has an evil nemesis, Algor.
A short based on the comic book series, Ragneron: The Guardian of the Crystal, 2019, is impossible to research because Google always thinks that you mean "Ragnerok," but it's on Youtube.
A kid, Glenndale L. Taylor III, is knocked over, punched, and beat up, then grows into the buffed, Speedo-clad Chris, Milan Christopher, hanging out with his friends in a hot tub.
They play a game of truth or dare. Truth first: have you ever done it with a girl?
More after the break
Caleb, played by Trevor Bell, tried but couldn't get the job done.
More private conversation that doesn't make sense to an outsider, David, Jozea Flores, says "what the hell, we know, what good is the speedo, we know, hello, booty."
Eventually a glowing orb crashes into the pool. Chris investigates, and is told that Ragneron, the Guardian of the Crystal, has chosen him to protect the Earth.
And one of the party guests, I can't tell who, is walking home in a speedo, when he sees a glowing light behind a dumpster. We don't see him again, but a demon rushes in and starts punching Chris, so maybe there's a connection.
Chris/Ragneron pummels the demon. Then two scantily clad ladies, Agent Inferno and Agent Red, come in to flirt with him, but he rejects them with flashing eyes.
Beefcake: The guys are in speedos throughout.
Gay Characters: They're all gay, but the only sex scene is heterosexual.
Plot: You're overhearing someone else's conversation at a party, there's a basic superhero origin story, a brief fight, and some scantily clad women. Maybe the comic book makes more sense.
Update: There were at least 15 black gay male superheroes across the comics universes before 2019. Maybe he meant "Hung black gay male superheroes from Chicago."
