A transgender/bisexual superhero/supervillain.

This is Elastic-Man from the webcomic http://evil-inc.com/
The webcomic is about the corporation "Evil Inc." that caters to supervillains, the supervillains who work there, and the superheroes trying to stop them.

Elastic-Man is a shape-shifter and has always been described as a heterosexual male, but in the storylines of the last months this has changed. He was a superhero but turned supervillain to impress a supervillainess. Lately, it was revealed that he has an identity-crisis that keeps him from forming stable relationships. And recently the character's central trait of being physically indefinite was widened to include that he considers himself an indefinite gender (because he simply lost track).

While I have seen several webcomics that have one or several homosexual characters, I have never run across one with a transgender/bisexual character. Are there more?

(Here he's trapped in a chamber that creates illusions of what he really wants, to distract him.)
