Renee Montoya's a lesbian now? Was it Superboy Prime's fists, or are we to assume her previous relationships were just very convincing merkins?

I've always found Virginia Hall to be especially heroic. She was a cyborg, which is kind of science-fictiony, right?

Brubaker and Rucka decided this during the (very good) Gotham Central books.
