Current big rumours is that it's Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern. Which is odd because in the non-52 universe he had a gay son. Guess it is caused by the parents.

By "gay" you mean inept (stupid), right?! No insulting someone based on their sexual orientation, whether they're fictional or real, understand?!

Wouldn't it be worst if he meant stupid?
Dr. Tristan
wanna hear a joke?
Hulkling and Wiccan's relationship was basically there from the very beginning, and it had been specifically acknowledged in dialogue long before issue 12.
Wiccan's original codename was The Asgardian, and Kate Bishop suggested that he change that name, since people would be making jokes about that, given his relationship with Hulkling. That was in issue 6. :anime:

Ugh, this whole thing with Alan Scott in the new 52 just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
As both a comic book writer and a gay man, I have serious reservations about this. For one, the character has never even hinted at being gay, theres never been any other emotion for him except straight. He's been married with at least 2 kids for chrissake.
I dont have a problem with a comic book character being gay, but to do it so nonchalantly, especially an already WELL established character with his own intricate backstory, that just REEKS of haphazardness and trying to jump ont he bandwagon.
There are HUNDREDS of characters that DC could have made gay, but shoehorning this stupid story into an older, outdated character just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Though I do enjoy the humor that his main weakness is wood. I gotta admit thats funny.
