People need to understand that Northstar hates being a government pawn, because he hates over-powerful authority or being told what to do. He DOESN'T Hate being on the team because he'd rather "Be gay". I think that is what some reviewers are misunderstanding. He IS a Super Hero who just happens to be homosexual. That plays nothing into his apprehension. I though the writers made that clear with the fact the Kyle has pushed him to save the day in both issues. (Another reason I like Kyle, he asks more of Northstar than Northstar asks of himself)
