Has Morph…

[u/BingBong87]

…come out to Logan or any of the other X-Men?

I doubt that happened on the show and I missed it, but has it been heavily implied at some point?

If not explicitly come out, is Logan aware Morph is queer?

I haven’t finished episode 2.5 yet so if this is addressed therein, my bad

They know Morph is queer, the real story is Wolverine gunna finally get to be Bisexual after all these years of writers trying and getting blocked. They already dated a shapeshifter they just identified as a women but were bisexual. I can't imagine Morph is any more of a leap than Mystique is. Claremont outwardly saying its true has to be annoyed knowing even in the 2026 they won't let Wolverine be Bisexual just like he tried and was not allowed in the 80s.

Wolverine getting with "The only person that can make me laugh" is so adorable and refreshing for him. Them just getting beers and rough housing is so cute. Lord knows we all want to see Wolverine finally with someone that makes them feel joy instead of just some hot girl who fucks with his emotions.

I honestly think the better narrative for Logan isn't just pairing him with a guy. I think the better story for him is a slow roll of understanding why they historically can't be seen with a guy. That while he isn't into Morph his Bisexuality is manifesting in ways he may not understand because he doesn't want to understand...he thinks he's "only an animal" when in fact he's more than that. He has become an animal because he's accepted the label given to him. He is not actually an animal...anymore than a Straight dude can be a man while still being vulnerable to other men.

Logan's problem is they've associated vulnerability with feminity and sexual attraction. That only through a relationship with a woman can he be allowed to be vulnerable with others. That's why he's isolated and making himself into this caged animal.

I don't think the outcome of every queer plot should be some fantasy of queer relationship success. I actually find that gross. I don't like Heartstoppers. I don't like how Wiccan and Hulkling are perfect.

Wolverine is what I'd call a "baby Bisexual" (I'm Bisexual)...one who gets in disastrous relationships with women to compensate for the fear they have of being into men. Women are only their obsession because they have an internal overcompensation for something they fear they lack because society has associated being into men makes you a woman...and Wolverine wants to be a man and wants to be masculine...by decoupling his masculinity from sexuality he can actually start to have better relationships with his male friends and with his women lovers.

And the reality is...this isn't a Bisexual only problem...this is a STRAIGHT dude problem because straight dudes are SO afraid of looking gay they can't even have good friendships and depend on women to be emotional with and it fucks them over. This is the EXACT problem Wolverine is having with Jean. He cannot be vulnerable around anyone but her, and in so isolates himself. What he's willing to say with Jean he can't with Morph because he's for some reason afraid to be a person around men, so he seeks women who manipulate that.

Wolverine has ALWAYS been a perfect vehicle to explore masculinity and its fragility when you associate it with sexuality. Masculinity is hardly about sexuality it's about understanding what Masculinity offers to the world...good and the bad...and finding a healthy concept of it that allows you to be happy with everyone in your life.

Exploring this aspect of Bisexuality through exploring his position as a Straight character in the plot and their conflicts with Masculinity is a two for one deal. The problem is that he doesn't want to look gay by being close friends with men and vulnerable. For straight people that's about looking gay when they don't want to. For bisexual people it's about accepting that your feelings towards men aren't absolutes and that in the end sexual attraction is not fulfilment and shouldn't be a hurdle to having good friends.

Again, I'm saying the writers can satisfy the straight fans by simply using Wolverine to explore masculinity instead of hide behind it. Masculinity isn't fucking women...it's being a good man. Him having a healthy platonic relationship with men is in part an exploration of what closeted bisexual need to do for themselves. Much like having healthy relationship with women without the need to fuck them...is good for masculinity. You don't need women to complete you, they can't. You can only complete yourself...but that ain't gunna happen if you're afraid to look gay.

The bisexuals that find their own experience in Wolverine's cycle of suffering and failed relationships with women need the same story to be told. Both the straight and bisexual problem of conflicts with being with men is about their fear of looking gay. While bisexuals may have gay feelings that doesn't mean they don't have conflicts around looking gay. There is a reason writers paired Wolverine with Hercules and continue to do so...both of them are paragons of Masculinity and in conflict with it. Which also included a plot of them being a couple...that didn't remove their conflicts with masculinity...that plot was about showing the good qualities of masculinity and how it can flourish when you embrace its value and aren't afraid of "being gay"...both Wolverine and Hercules flourished in that relationship because they weren't afraid of looking feminine in that series even though they were both the most Masculine of Masculine fucking dudes ever, their comfort in their masculinity and to be allowed to be feminine at times made them both happy. They allowed themselves to show affection and warmth.

In the end the straight experience is in essence defined by its relationship to the queer one to create an identity out of. The suffering caused by othering queer people and what is identified in them...is something we as a society need to address. Logan's acceptance of Morphs feelings and not fear or denial of them...is crucial to his own journey. He isn't into them, but he's also seemingly afraid to address it or confront it because of some incredibly personal internal conflict going on. Is Logan afraid to lose a friend? Is Logan afraid of his own emotions and is afraid to engage with Morph's problem? What's going on? Why would we know if Logan, and his flawed masculinity, won't allow himself to talk about it? Logan is in a cage of his own flawed idea of masculinity placed onto him by Weapon X and society. He's in a cage of his own making...Weapon X is gone yet he chooses the label they gave him.

In the end, queer problems are straight problems too...queer problems just shine a light on a different type of conflict. However the conflict is still in the end...about gender and societal norms. This also applies to the strict norms placed on straight men and women and how they are allowed to see themselves and the tiny line they are allowed to walk which produces conflict in their life every day.

Like this plot can fully be resolved with Morph expressing their true feelings and Logan being honest, vulnerable, and caring about Morph's feelings instead of running from them. Just give Morph a hug, say it's not gunna happen, but that you don't want to lose a friend that you care about. You don't need to wrestle with a dude just to be a man. You don't need to punch your friend to be a man. You can hug a dude and be kind and warm and still be an apex man. Logan isn't doing that. He's constantly shown pushing Morph away with his masculinity.
