MICHAEL NOVOTNY - "Why am I always Lois Lane?"


Sweet, adorable, coal-eyed, with a mega-watt smile that could light up the world. Michael is the guy your mom would want you to bring home -- that is, if she's was okay with you being queer. The caregiver of his group, he's sturdy but with an innocence and optimism that won't quit. He's the marrying kind... if he'd take his mind off Brian. Brian was Michael's first... first best friend, first person he told about being gay, first (unfinished) sex partner, and the first person to break his heart. But Brian is always there for Michael... and Michael will always be there for Brian.

HOW MICHAEL DESCRIBES HIMSELF: Semi-cute.

HOW OTHERS MIGHT DESCRIBE MICHAEL: The hottie-who-doesn't-know-it.

BEST FRIENDS: Brian, Ted, Emmett

BOOK OR MAGAZINE HE COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT ON A DESERT ISLAND: His collection of Captain Astro comic books.

FAVORITE JUNK FOOD: Lemon Bars from the Liberty Diner and Cap'n Crunch.

FAVORITE PASTIME: Buying vintage comic books on E-Bay.

GUILTY PLEASURE: Power Puff Girls.

FAVORITE THING TO WEAR: A snug two-tone or black T-shirt with jeans and sneakers.

EARLIEST AMBITION: To become Captain Astro's official boy wonder, Galaxy Lad.

FAVORITE MOVIES: Currently X-Men... but loved The Sixth Sense and most of the Star Wars series. Also loved Lady and the Tramp... but don't tell anyone.

HABITS OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT IRRITATE MICHAEL: Hates it when people at work ask him about who he's dating. Hates it when Brian blows him off because of a trick. Hates it when people try to control him. Hates it when people treat him like a kid. Hates it when his Mom is overly supportive about his sex life.

SEVEN FAVORITE JEOPARDY CATAGORIES: Superheroes, Collectible Comics, Patrick Swayze Movies, Video Games, Action Figures, Hits of the 80s, Serials/Cereals.

THE ONE ITEM THAT'S ALWAYS IN HIS REFRIGERATOR: A pre-cooked meal his mother dropped off... and lemon bars.

WHEN MICHAEL MET BRIAN: The summer of 1985. They were 14. Brian was the tough kid, nobody wanted their kids to play with. Michael was the nice kid everybody wanted their kids to play with. The attraction was immediate... after all both boys understood why The Green Hornet was cooler than Spiderman. They also knew why the X-Men were the coolest. And then there was that particular Patrick Swayze photo in People Magazine... the one from "Dirty Dancing." "Did you just say you thought Patrick Swayze was hot?" might have been the intro to one of the most famous, unfinished, sex scenes in the history of adolescent love --- unfinished being the operative word, thanks to Michael's mother surprising them. Although they never actually consummated their love, they've still been dedicated to each other ever since. But the question remains... will they ever get to finish what started when they were 14?
