10 Secrets Hidden In Famous Comics

5. Sexgate - New X-Men #118

Sometimes comic secrets aren't all that elaborate - or all that mature. The best example of this lies within the pages of New X-Men #118, in an infamous panel that includes the word 'sex' hidden in the bushes behind the gate on the right.

While this alone would be pretty plain, the word itself crops up repeatedly throughout the issue, with instances of the word being snuck into all sorts of panels; in tree branches, in signs and fences and even at one point lightning.

The team who created the issue have claimed that these discoveries are merely the product of overactive fan imaginations, and that the panels just so happen to look like the word is written everywhere. Although this isn't strictly impossible, it does also seem like the team behind the issue created these Easter eggs as a joke between them, and naturally can't confess to doing so because it would be heavily frowned upon by higher-ups.
