Number of Appearances: 3
Ally: Sen. Hugh Greider
Gender: male
Note: Sen. Hugh Greider's son; used by him to blackmail Bennet
Henry Greider was overly identified as an openly LGBT (gay) man. Henry Greider's father, Senator Hugh Greider, used him in an attempt to blackmail Miles Bennet into releasing the SICCAEL gun. What is unclear to us at this time is whether Henry Greider himself was complicit in this blackmail attempt, or whether he was unknowingly manipulated by his father. If he knew what his father was doing and intentionally used his sexuality in an attempt to blackmail Bennet, then Henry Greider would be classified as a "villain" just as his father is. We would need to read the issues in which he appears in order to ascertain Henry's complicity or lack thereof.
Note how Henry Greider, looking very LGBT indeed, is featured on the cover of Nomad #14. This cover also depicts a couple reading the LGBT magazine Out and About.
