Lol, well, ace headcanons are great except when it's about a character most people regard as gay or lesbian, I've been told by other aces (I only have two, but one's Prof X from X-Men original movieverse—I've only seen the first three films—and the other's Jane Rizzoli from Rizzoli & Isles…). I don't really have a lot of fandom involvement with those fandoms because the overwhelming majority of fans (particularly with R&I, I'm not as sure about X-Men as it's hard to find fic that doesn't assume one has seen all the rest of the films) seem to be very set in their beliefs about those chars and I suspect at least a few would be angry enough at anyone thinking otherwise so as to attack them. I'm sure it's a tiny minority that would actually attack but I'm wary nonetheless.
Hmm, Gary from Alphas is probably another, now that I think about it- but he's a canonical autistic character and shows absolutely no interest in romantic or sexual relationships of his own. The closest he gets is being friends with a girl who ends up getting killed (and it makes him angry, but I think that's more because he feels like he really connects with her as a friend - there's no signs of it being more than friendship). So I've assumed he's probably aro-ace.
