‘X-Men’ same-sex wedding inspires Ohio couple to take plunge



“Astonishing X-Men” No. 51 (Marvel Comics)
For Marvel fans, it’s the wedding event of the season: The X-Men’s North Star, a high-flying mutant, and Kyle Jinadu, his “normal” publicist boyfriend, are getting married in issue No. 51 of the popular series.
To celebrate that groundbreaking ceremony (which is being billed as the first same-sex marriage in a major mainstream comic series), New York City’s Midtown Comics is going for some real-world nuptials synergy Wednesday by hosting the hitching of Scott Everhart, 39, and Jason Welker, 33, both of Ohio.
