'''A Administrivia/{{No Recent Examples|please}} rule applies to this trope'''. Examples for episodic works shouldn't be added until '''end of season''' for the season introducing the ambiguity (or after '''3 months''', for episodic works without seasons). This is to allow time for the story to develop the character and resolve ambiguity. There is no waiting time for non-episodic works.

-->'''Jubilee:''' ...Total rock stars. I wanted to have all their babies.

!!Films
* ''WesternAnimation/MarvelRisingSecretWarriors'': Ms. Marvel fits this trope. The Kamala Khanfidential file on Inferno has a bit of ShipTease between the two of them, with Ms. Marvel accidentally calling him "really hot". At the same time, she's also shown to fangirl over Captain Marvel. When she finally meets her in the movie, she blushes and giggles, not unlike someone with a CelebrityCrush.

!!Live-Action TV
* ''Series/AgentCarter'':
** Howard Stark, notorious playboy and womanizer, has his feelings for Steve paralleled with Peggy's twice, easily interpreted that Howard loved Steve romantically, just as Peggy did.
--->'''Howard:''' I know how much he meant to you, because I know how much he means to me.\\
and\\
'''Peggy:''' ''[as Howard is risking his life in an attempt to save Steve]'' I know you loved him. I loved him too. But this won’t bring him back. Steve is gone. We have to move on, all of us. As impossible as that may sound, we have to let him go.
* On ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', Leo Fitz acknowledges out loud that he subconsciously finds another male character ([[spoiler:Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie]]) attractive, and he says this to [[spoiler: hallucination]] Jemma Simmons, who he has {{ust}} for.
* ''Series/Daredevil2015'' has Russian crime boss Anatoly Ranskahov. When Wesley [[spoiler:pretends not to know about Anatoly's death]] while talking to his brother Vladimir, he asks whether Anatoly has "a girl -- or a boy -- he might be celebrating with". Since Wesley is unfailingly polite and would probably not risk insulting a Russian man's beloved brother by insinuating him to be bisexual without cause and Vladimir lets it slide without comment, there may be some truth to it.
* Bucky Barnes in ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier''. In the first episode he mentions attempting online dating and complains about running into a lot of "tiger photos". "Tiger photos" are a meme overwhelmingly associated with ''male'' profiles on Tinder and Grindr, especially those seeking to look manly.

Alphabetizing example(s)


* ''ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}'':
** [[Characters/MarvelComicsClintBarton Clint Barton]]'s only ever explicitly been in love with women, but his interactions with [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Steve Rogers]]/Captain America have always made it look like Clint was in love with Steve. Started off butting heads, slowly became quietly affectionate, would bicker but in a way that made it clear they cared for each other, etc. While [[EvenTheGuysWantHim man-crushing on Steve]] is pretty much par-the-course, Clint went further than most examples, having UndyingLoyalty to Steve to the point he was willing to quit the Avengers when Steve left so that the two could start their own team (read, Clint wanted to ''run away together'' with Steve), and he'd often butt heads with ComicBook/TheFalcon and [[Characters/MarvelComicsBuckyBarnes Bucky Barnes]] over the two's mutual status as Steve's best friend, out of what was ''literally'' jealousy. At one point, Clint was put in a position where he had to choose between the Avengers and the Thunderbolts (both teams he was loyal to), and more specifically Steve and Moonstone (his ex-girlfriend, whom he was still very much in love with), and it's played up as if it's one of the hardest choices he has to make.
** Outside of Steve, Clint has also had a number of charged moments with other men, from his bromances with ''all three'' ComicBook/AntMan LegacyCharacter incarnations to his HeadbuttingHeroes tendencies with guys like Bucky and Flash Thompson, that can often end up looking like SlapSlapKiss. He also spent an issue of ComicBook/SecretAvengers ''extensively'' flirting with ComicBook/CaptainBritain, including gushingly complimenting his physique and how his suit looks on him.
** And then on top of all that, there's the fact the primary colours of Clint's uniform are literally Bi Pride colours (pink, purple, and blue).
** [[Characters/MarvelComicsKateBishop Kate Bishop]], Clint's LegacyCharacter and successor, is even more explicit. While she's only ever dated boys, her friendship with Cassie Lang mirrored Cassie's dad's relationship with Clint, and her relationship with America Chavez became a PseudoRomanticFriendship in large part because of a flirty comment from America implied Kate was bi (though in-context and WordOfGod, it was ''only'' meant to be playfully teasing her due to Kate's status as the token-straight on the ComicBook/YoungAvengers) and the popularity of the [=AmeriKate=] ship. Kate herself has made comments about being "in the closet", and though she claims to be straight she is ''comically'' attracted to LGBTQ+ folk; besides befriending America, Billy, Teddy, Loki, and Prodigy, at this point ''three'' of Kate's four canon love interests have come out as bisexual (Noh-Varr, Fuse, and Speed), making her more-or-less adopted by the LGBTQ community.
* ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': For someone who is effectively (if not offically) the Marvel Norse Pantheon's goddess of Beauty, Lust and Sex, [[Characters/MarvelComicsTheEnchantress Amora the Enchantress]] is nearly always shown to be shockingly confined to plain vanilla heterosexuality, but there ''are'' a rare few instances where female-to-female attraction is hinted at, such as with Illyana Rasputin, when the Enchantress held the young mutant sorceress captive, where the following line was delivered amidst lots of [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace up-close]] whispers and a few [[LesYay caresses]]:
-->''"Before I am done, I shall know all thy secrets. Thou shalt serve me, Illyana. And eventually--Love me."''
* ''ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}}'': Hawkeye's ex-wife isn't quite as prominent as he himself in this regard, but when she first met ComicBook/BlackWidow she gushed about how pretty she was and the two immediately developed a PseudoRomanticFriendship; years later, Bobbi pretty much asked Natasha and Bucky to join her and Clint for a foursome as a thanks for curing her of [[ItMakesSenseInContext an STI that turned her into a KGB sleeper agent she got from Natasha]]. Meanwhile, her friendship with ComicBook/TheWasp has always been quite affectionate and almost gender-flips the Ant-Man/Hawkeye relationship, with Janet being one of the most affected by Bobbi's apparent death (the only one more affected was Clint himself), and the two more-or-less adopting a pair of teenaged former assassins together, which they lampshade and jokingly flirt about.



* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Minor villain and former ComicBook/{{Thunderbolt|s}} Joystick flirted with ComicBook/ScarletSpider (both in-costume and in his civilian identity) in her first appearance, but also expressed the desire to see if a defeated female opponent was cute underneath her armor in a later story.

* [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules Hercules]] was implied to have had relations with a large number of women and Northstar. A RunningGag is Amadeus Cho repeatedly denying that he has the same relationship with Herc as Iolaus did. While armwrestling the [[ComicBook/Thor2014 female Thor]], he also had a line of dialogue that suggested he'd kissed the original, male Thor in the past. An alternate-universe version of him in ''X-Treme X-Men'' was explicitly shown to be in a relationship with Wolverine. Herc was finally confirmed to be bisexual in ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2020'', entering a relationship with Noh-Varr.
* Tony Stark aka ComicBook/IronMan. (It also shows up in the movies he appears in). He's TheCasanova and all of his canonical love interests have been women, but he also seems to have a thing for teasing/making DoubleEntendre remarks towards male characters.

** Throughout the first two series, Nico Minoru only seemed attracted to guys but had a lot of ShipTease with her LipstickLesbian friend, Karolina (especially under later writers). It's also implied she was initially jealous of Xavin, Karolina's fiancee. Then the 2017 series had Nico outright tell Karolina that she has a crush on her, removing the ambiguity. They start dating later in the series.

* Jessica Drew a.k.a. ComicBook/SpiderWoman. All of her love interests in the mainstream continuity have been men like ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}, but she's also had ''a lot'' of LesYay with some female characters, especially her "best friend" ComicBook/CarolDanvers. Additionally, when asked her opinion on the female ComicBook/{{Thor|2014}}, her response was "One word, Carol: hawt." Later, upon meeting Carol's Kree half-sister for the first time, Jessica immediately complimented her muscles, even saying "I love them." Blurring this further is that her [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate Marvel]] self is openly lesbian and has a crush on ComicBook/KittyPryde.
* In ''ComicBook/StarbrandAndNightmask'', Nightmask, in his civilian identity as college student Adam Blackveil, is hit on by both a female and a male student while working out at the gym. While he recognizes that they are flirting with him as it goes due to his little familiarity with human interaction, he looks very pleased about it and declares that he enjoys it.

** The relationship between Charles Xavier and [[ComicBook/{{Magneto}} Erik Lehnsherr]] is at least as strong and complicated as those they have with romantic female partners. It's very easy to interpret them as being in love with each other, which would make them sort of bi.
** ComicBook/{{Storm}} is probably one of the most famous examples of this trope. She's had strong romantic relationships with a lot of men, including ComicBook/BlackPanther, ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} and Forge, but she's also had extremely close {{PseudoRomantic Friendship}}s with Yukio and ComicBook/JeanGrey since the '80s.

Notably, Kitty and Illyana are so close that Kitty is the only other person on the planet capable of wielding Illyana's Soulsword, and after Illyana [[RetGone was temporarily erased from everyone's memories]] by the Beyonder during ''ComicBook/SecretWarsII'', Kitty was still able to remember her due to their emotional bond. There was also a rather infamous issue of ''ComicBook/{{Excalibur}}'' where Sat-Yr-9 (while disguised as Courtney Ross) celebrated Kitty's birthday in a way that seemed to echo a seduction, including a panel where Kitty actually [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything licked frosting off Courtney's finger in a highly suggestive manner]].

** Clint's only ever explicitly been in love with women, but his interactions with Steve Rogers/Captain America have always made it look like Clint was in love with Steve. Started off butting heads, slowly became quietly affectionate, would bicker but in a way that made it clear they cared for each other, etc. While [[EvenTheGuysWantHim man-crushing on Steve]] is pretty much par-the-course, Clint went further than most examples, having UndyingLoyalty to Steve to the point he was willing to quit the Avengers when Steve left so that the two could start their own team (read, Clint wanted to ''run away together'' with Steve), and he'd often butt heads with ComicBook/TheFalcon and ComicBook/BuckyBarnes over the two's mutual status as Steve's best friend, out of what was ''literally'' jealousy. At one point, Clint was put in a position where he had to choose between the Avengers and the Thunderbolts (both teams he was loyal to), and more specifically Steve and Moonstone (his ex-girlfriend, whom he was still very much in love with), and it's played up as if it's one of the hardest choices he has to make.

* Tony Stark aka ComicBook/IronMan. (It also shows up in the movies he appears in). He's TheCasanova and all of his canonical love interests have been women, but he also seems to have a thing for teasing/making DoubleEntendre remarks towards male characters.
** Not to mention the fact that he publicly apologizes to both men and women when his dating profile is taken down in the comics....and when it’s put back up, it noticeably allows both men and women to send requests. There’s also a party scene from the Superior Iron Man issue that displays a half-naked Tony surrounded by both men and women who are also in various states of undress — while in his bedroom. He also once went speed dating and ended up matched with the recently-out Loki, and while they're both ultimately uninterested, it's more down to Loki's history than Loki's gender (at the time, as Loki ''also '' came out as gender fluid around this time).
** A darker, but much earlier, point also comes up during one of Tony's public breakdowns, where news anchors are shown discussing and speculating about the cause of his recent self-destructive behaviour. One of them brings up rumours that Tony is H.I.V. Positive; at the time of publication, H.I.V. was still believed to be limited to gay/bisexual men, so this was indicating that Tony is AmbiguouslyBi ''in universe'' too.
** It’s taken UpToEleven by the Avengers Academy game, in which Tony does things like referring to Thor as sexy, call T’Challa handsome to his face, tease Loki for hitting on him and compliment his hair, openly check out Captain Britain’s biceps, and seems to have no problem with the concept of himself and Steve as a couple, all while still flirting incessantly with female characters like Pepper, Nadia Pym, and Natasha Romanoff.
** As far as the movie version goes, some of Tony’s more obvious indicators include telling Hawkeye to “clench up” when he carries him with the Iron Man suit, patting Thor’s biceps while complimenting his swing, joking about performance issues with Loki, asking his teammates as a whole (four out of five of which are male) if someone kissed him, and, of course, the ever-infamous “America’s ass” scene (in which Tony, completely unprompted, calls attention to and comments on Steve’s ass).
* ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'':
** Throughout the first two series, Nico Minoru only seemed attracted to guys but had a lot of ShipTease with her LipstickLesbian friend, Karolina (especially under later writers). It's also implied she was initially jealous of Xavin, Karolina's fiancee. Then the 2017 series had Nico outright tell Karolina that she has a crush on her, removing the ambiguity.
** In the first three series, Molly Hayes seemed to have crushes on several teen superheroes, including Speed from ComicBook/YoungAvengers and Reptil from ComicBook/AvengersAcademy, but also had a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship with Klara and joked that she would marry female deinonychus Old Lace. In the [[ComicBook/RainbowRowellsRunaways 2017 series]], she falls under the spell of classmate Abigail, who wants Molly to be her "Best Friend Forever". She also takes it very hard when Klara refuses to come back to the team, and the next issue has her off-panel for the whole issue, with her teammates mentioning that she's been sulking a lot lately.
* Jessica Drew a.k.a. ComicBook/SpiderWoman. All of her love interests in the mainstream continuity have been men like ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}, but she's also had ''a lot'' of LesYay with some female characters, especially her "best friend" ComicBook/CarolDanvers. Additionally, when asked her opinion on the female ComicBook/{{Thor|2014}}, her response was "One word, Carol: hawt." Later, upon meeting Carol's Kree half-sister for the first time, Jessica immediately complimented her muscles, even saying "I love them." Blurring this further is that her [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate Marvel]] self is openly lesbian and has a crush on ComicBook/KittyPryde.
* In ''ComicBook/StarbrandAndNightmask'', Nightmask, in his civilian identity as college student Adam Blackveil, is hit on by both a female and a male student while working out at the gym. While he recognizes that they are flirting with him as it goes due to his little familiarity with human interaction, he looks very pleased about it and declares that he enjoys it.
* Minor villain and former Comicbook/{{Thunderbolt|s}} Joystick flirted with Comicbook/ScarletSpider (both in-costume and in his civilian identity) in her first appearance, but also expressed the desire to see if a defeated female opponent was cute underneath her armor in a later story.
* Selene from ''ComicBook/XMen'' isn't openly bisexual and is in fact a widow of a man named Marcus Gallio. But she also possesses some amount of LesbianVampire traits.
** The relationship between Charles Xavier and [[ComicBook/{{Magneto}} Erik Lehnsherr]] is at least as strong and complicated as those they have with romantic female partners. It's very easy to interpret them as being in love with each other, which would make them sort of bi.
** ComicBook/{{Storm}} is probably one of the most famous examples of this trope. She's had strong romantic relationships with a lot of men, including ComicBook/BlackPanther, ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} and Forge, but she's also had extremely close {{Romantic Two Girl Friendship}}s with Yukio and ComicBook/JeanGrey since the '80s. Yukio has even flat out admitted that Storm is one of the most important people in her life.
** ComicBook/KittyPryde, especially when written by Creator/ChrisClaremont. Her canonical love interests have exclusively been men (such as ComicBook/{{Colossus}} and ComicBook/StarLord), but she is also known for having ''extremely'' close and emotional friendships with several of the girls in her life, especially ComicBook/IllyanaRasputin and ComicBook/RachelSummers. Notably, Kitty and Illyana are so close that Kitty is the only other person on the planet capable of wielding Illyana's Soulsword, and after Illyana [[RetGone was temporarily erased from everyone's memories]] by the Beyonder during ''ComicBook/SecretWarsII'', Kitty was still able to remember her due to their emotional bond. There was also a rather infamous issue of ''ComicBook/{{Excalibur}}'' where Sat-Yr-9 (while disguised as Courtney Ross) celebrated Kitty's birthday in a way that seemed to echo a seduction, including a panel where Kitty actually [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything licked frosting off Courtney's finger in a highly suggestive manner]].
*** As of ComicBook/{{Marauders}} #12, this is [[https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/kufeOe3hmMbBAjyKu8BykKEpSa8=/0x0:1988x1534/1120x0/filters:focal(0x0:1988x1534):format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/21875028/RCO020_1599659903.jpg much less ambiguous.]]
** ComicBook/JubileeMarvelComics is another character who has had mostly male love interests, but is also very close with ComicBook/{{X 23}}, including some blatantly sexual overtones during the period where Jubilee [[LesbianVampire was turned into a vampire and bit Laura]]. She was also remarkably unfazed after being kissed on the mouth by Roxy, one of her female students. In the 2013 ''X-Men'' series, Jubilee recalled the first time she saw Storm, ComicBook/{{Dazzler}}, ComicBook/{{Psylocke}} and ComicBook/{{Rogue}} back when she was a child, and claimed this was her mental reaction:
-->'''Jubilee:''' ...Total rock stars. I wanted to have all their babies.
* ''ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}'':
** Clint's only ever explicitly been in love with women, but his interactions with Steve Rogers/Captain America have always made it look like Clint was in love with Steve. Started off butting heads, slowly became quietly affectionate, would bicker but in a way that made it clear they cared for each other, etc. While [[EvenTheGuysWantHim man-crushing on Steve]] is pretty much par-the-course, Clint went further than most examples, having UndyingLoyalty to Steve to the point he was willing to quit the Avengers when Steve left so that the two could start their own team (read, Clint wanted to ''run away together'' with Steve), and he'd often butt heads with ComicBook/TheFalcon and ComicBook/BuckyBarnes over the two's mutual status as Steve's best friend, out of what was ''literally'' jealousy. At one point, Clint was put in a position where he had to choose between the Avengers and the Thunderbolts (both teams he was loyal to), and more specifically Steve and Moonstone (his ex-girlfriend, whom he was still very much in love with), and it's played up as if it's one of the hardest choices he has to make.
** Outside of Steve, Clint has also had a number of charged moments with other men, from his bromances with ''all three'' ComicBook/AntMan LegacyCharacter incarnations to his HeadbuttingHeroes tendencies with guys like Bucky and Flash Thompson, that can often end up looking like SlapSlapKiss. He also spent an issue of ComicBook/SecretAvengers ''extensively'' flirting with ComicBook/CaptainBritain, including gushingly complimenting his physique and how his suit looks on him.
** And then on top of all that, there's the fact the primary colours of Clint's uniform are literally Bi Pride colours (pink, purple, and blue).
** ComicBook/KateBishop, Clint's LegacyCharacter and successor, is even more explicit. While she's only ever dated boys, her friendship with Cassie Lang mirrored Cassie's dad's relationship with Clint, and her relationship with America Chavez became a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship in large part because of a flirty comment from America implied Kate was bi (though in-context and WordOfGod, it was ''only'' meant to be playfully teasing her due to Kate's status as the token-straight on the ComicBook/YoungAvengers) and the popularity of the [=AmeriKate=] ship. Kate herself has made comments about being "in the closet", and though she claims to be straight she is ''comically'' attracted to LGBTQ+ folk; besides befriending America, Billy, Teddy, Loki, and Prodigy, at this point ''three'' of Kate's four canon love interests have come out as bisexual (Noh-Varr, Fuse, and Speed), making her more-or-less adopted by the LGBTQ community.
* ''ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}}'': Hawkeye's ex-wife isn't quite as prominent as he himself in this regard, but when she first met Comicbook/BlackWidow she gushed about how pretty she was and the two immediately developed a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship; years later, Bobbi pretty much asked Natasha and Bucky to join her and Clint for a foursome as a thanks for curing her of [[ItMakesSenseInContext an STI that turned her into a KGB sleeper agent she got from Natasha]]. Meanwhile, her friendship with Comicbook/TheWasp has always been quite affectionate and almost gender-flips the Ant-Man/Hawkeye relationship, with Janet being one of the most affected by Bobbi's apparent death (the only one more affected was Clint himself), and the two more-or-less adopting a pair of teenaged former assassins together, which they lampshade and jokingly flirt about.
