* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'': Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie, so much so that roughly half of the entries on the series' HoYay page involve him in someway, especially in his interactions with the AmbiguouslyBi Fitz, who are currently enjoying FanPreferredCouple status on the Internet. Most of the questions surrounding Mack's sexuality come from the fact that when he discusses his exes with the team during one episode he never specifies the gender of his former significant others, and it seems very deliberate on the writing team's part. His only significant relationship with a woman is with [[ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}} Bobbi]]. Then again he does start up a relationship with Elena so perhaps he falls under AmbiguouslyBi.



* ''Series/LukeCage2016'': Shades is a somewhat odd example because the narrative establishes that he is at least bisexual. It's revealed that he had a past sexual relationship with his friend Comanche in prison that is heavily implied to be more than just SituationalSexuality, but in the present day, he enters into a relationship with main villain Mariah Dillard. However, they have next to no romantic or sexual chemistry onscreen, and he never seems particularly happy about dating her and has a hair-trigger temper whenever the subject of their relationship is brought up. In the end he comes off less as a bisexual and more as a gay man who took on a [[TheBeard beard]] to maintain his street cred.



* ''Series/{{Supergirl 2015}}'':
** Alex Danvers was suspected by many fans to be gay as early as the Pilot. Though a male character expressed interest in her in the first season, she never returned that interest. While she had good reasons not to be into that character, she lacked any significant love interests in her backstory. She mentions having dated men in college, but she doesn't seem to have actually liked any of them. When DCTV revealed that a character on either ''Supergirl'' or ''Series/TheFlash2014'' would be coming out in the upcoming season, Alex was an immediate suspect. As of ''Crossfire'' [[spoiler:Alex's sexual orientation is no longer ambiguous.]]
** Kara shows hints that she is attracted to women, admitting that she wanted to date Lucy, to her close relationship with Lena.

* ''Series/{{Heroes}}'': In Season 1, Claire's friend Zach is never ''explicitly'' stated to be gay but all of the hints are there, and his big "I know who I am -- I like who I am" speech doesn't leave much to the imagination. Then the whole "best friend has super powers and a serial killer after her" plot took precedence, his character was ignored and then he disappeared altogether. (The show runner says Zach was supposed to be gay. The actor (who is gay) says he was told that Zach was straight and had a crush on Claire. There may have been ExecutiveMeddling involved...)

* ''Series/MonarchLegacyOfMonsters'': [[Characters/MonsterVerseApexCybernetics Brenda Holland]] took Coral on a dinner date before employing her to AET, and there are some definite ''undertones'' to her and Coral/May's interactions. In the present, they act like mutually used and betrayed lovers when they see each-other again. It's easy to hear Brenda talk about everything she intended to give Coral/May if the latter hadn't betrayed her, and just have the words [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} "I can show you the world"]] pop into one's head.

* ''Series/KeepingUpWithTheKardashians '': No one in the entire extended Kardashian/Jenner clan (or the media as a whole, really) knows for sure if Creator/KimKardashian’s best friend, Jonathan, is gay. One episode revolved around them trying to find out, to no avail.

* ''Series/TheCryOfMann'': Knowing that Agent Martinez has a heavily implied crush on Berry, it's also left ambiguous as to whether or not Berry returns the feelings.


Added DiffLines:

* Omega Zell from ''Series/{{Noob}}'' is a reporter for a feminine channel in real life, cares for his avatar's appearance over anything else, is frequently forced into an InvoluntaryDance and acts as if he has a crush on the game's (male) top player. His YaoiFangirl guildmate speculated he could be gay from day 1, but he has always denied it. Season 4 has him reveal that he's deliberately avoiding relationships with women to be able to focus on his dream of becoming the next top player of the game (that and [[EffeminateMisogynisticGuy he sorts of hates them]]). However, neither the series creator nor the fans seem able to stop making jokes about him having a crush on any male character whose actor ends up in close proximity to him on "behind the scenes" photos.

* ''Series/LukeCage2016'': Shades is a somewhat odd example because the narrative establishes that he is at least bisexual. It's revealed that he had a past sexual relationship with his friend Comanche in prison that is heavily implied to be more than just SituationalSexuality, but in the present day, he enters into a relationship with main villain Mariah Dillard. However, they have next to no romantic or sexual chemistry onscreen, and he never seems particularly happy about dating her and has a hair-trigger temper whenever the subject of their relationship is brought up. In the end he comes off less as a bisexual and more as a gay man who took on a [[TheBeard beard]] to maintain his street cred and resenting having to do so.
