DC's Legends of Tomorrow (2016–2022)

DC's Legends of Tomorrow offers a highly positive and affirming portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters. The central relationship between bisexual hero Sara Lance and lesbian hero Ava Sharpe is depicted with dignity, complexity, and agency, culminating in marriage and family. The show consistently normalizes and celebrates queer identities within its superhero narrative.

The show features Sara Lance (White Canary) and Ava Sharpe, both highly skilled fighters. They frequently engage in and win close-quarters physical combat against multiple male adversaries, demonstrating superior martial arts and weapon skills.

Kendra Saunders, known as Hawkgirl, was historically depicted as white or Latina in DC Comics. In the show, she is portrayed by a Black actress, Ciara Renée, which constitutes a race swap.
