You have a very interesting perspective. Thank you for explaining!
I always assumed that the heroes would be somewhat less bound by the mores of a hetero-normitive society. They deal with meta-humans, clones, and aliens on a regular basis. Humans all seem pretty similar, regardless of gender, when you're comparing us with a being like Braniac. Some normal-looking humans are the most evil villains that they ever face. Some odd-looking aliens are their most powerful allies. And heroes have no trouble discarding other societal dicatates. They act as vigillantes, often circumventing the police entirely. I can't imagine that any prejudice could survive very long, in a life like that.
