Apollo and the Midnighter
The Authority
It was all there in the subtext. The furtive glances between Apollo, the solar-powered superman, and the Midnighter, the street-level ass-kicking savant. The time Jenny Sparks — the leader of the team of superhuman watchdogs known as the Authority — asked them, ''Who wants to be Bert and who wants to be Ernie?'' They were a gay couple in a big-honking superhero comic book. And pretty much no one noticed. Since then, the implicit has become explicit and, while everyone noticed the kissing and the marriage and the adopting of a kid, pretty much no one batted an eye. —Marc Bernardin
