When you go to the movies this year, there’s one thing you’re guaranteed to see a lot of: superheroes. "Captain America: Civil War" will feature at least 15 superheroes and supervillains, and throughout 2016 roughly 60 comic book characters will grace the screen across six Marvel and DC franchises. They’ll be white, black, Asian, male and female, but there’s one character you almost certainly won’t see this year: an LGBTQ superhero.
