In making this character, they took ONE aspect of Northstar's life, the fact that he's gay, and made it the complete focus of his character.

1. His first appearance he whines about being gay
2. When he sees Sinister he says, "I don't do older guys." or something to that effect.
3. As soon as he wakes up, he flirts with Colossus

The real Northstar was a gay man, but he didn't let it define him. He had interests, hobbies, passions, beleifs tht didn't have anythign to do with that. He was always gay, but he was alway a man too.

Ultimate just made him a lame-ass cliche. Maybe it's too early to make htis kind of justice, he is just a kid, but it certainly isn't off to a good start.
Actually as a gay man I do all three of those things on a daily basis (except I'd probably choose Wolverine over Colossus).
