Much less if they were driven to lust by comic book science phermones.
I like how being drugged against their will is no excuse.

Any book with Wade and Parker shouldnt be taken seriously

True. But now they're in the DCU but different Earth

When did DC get the right to Tom Strong? Jim Lee doesn't own his rights. TS was created by Alan Moore from everything I heard he hates DC for screwing him over and taking the rights of his Watchmen away from him, no way would he ever let DC have his character in their Universe.
That said, I'm hoping Tom Strong is just the start... There were LOADS of great characters from the ABC-verse. 👆

Like? I haven't read Top 10 in ages. Which characters can fit well in the DCU?

Lol. Not really, no. He's had some romances, sure. And I think there were some covers that suggested this. Actually, yeah, just found one when I checked:
http://marvel.com/comics/issue/23077/amazing_spider-man_1999_583
...and I think it mimics an even older cover from the Stan Lee days. But both were parodies. The joke was that Pete was always the exact opposite. Even the "Action is his reward" line on that cover is just a nod to the old theme song, and his line on the cover echoes MJ's classic line; it's not something he'd ever say.
We probably can't discount random male-centric storylines from the 60s and 70s. I'm sure he calls some staff reporter at the Bugle "doll" or something. But I'm reasonably sure Pete's been assumed to be gay more often than he's done anything overtly chauvinist. And the time period(s) between "hopeless nerd," "crying over Gwen," and "in a long-term relationship and/or married to Mary Jane" wasn't too long, tbh. Any real womanizing that I'm forgetting would have to have been in a really tight window of time.
