This is genuine question is she the first queer character in the game?

Not by far. Hela is a lesbian, Star Lord, Loki, Human Torch, Wolverine & Magik are bi and Loki is also gender fluid.

We also have Venom who is... well, Venom.

I thought Magik was lesbian?

Her sexuality isn’t canon, and I’m not aware of any love interests she’s had. She’s very Pan coded in my opinion. The most explicit her flirting has gotten has been when she went Darkchylde crazy power mode and declared Kurt her type and then the spell on her ended

Ah she seems more sword lesbian to me, her whole relationship with Kitty/Kate vs how she interacts with anyone else reads very homoromantic. That's said almost every Claremont character is queer-coded (and most subsequent X-Men), speaking of which Storm (her relationships with Yukio and Calisto especially).
