Rasputin in World Heroes
One of the playable characters in World Heroes is Rasputin. He is roughly based on Grigori Rasputin, the infamous 20th century Russian mystic and faith healer. The games Rasputin is a 13th century Russian philosopher, alchemist, and sorcerer, according to one Wikipedia page. Other game wikis describe him as the leader of a pansexual love cult and indicate he was born in the 19th century.
He is often assumed to be homosexual because of his effeminate mannerisms (see image below).
He also invites players to spend the late hours in his Garden of Love.
This may be a reference to his adj move, called The Classified Garden in which he pulls the other fighters (nearly all men) into bushes. Hearts emanate from the bushes. The reality that it only works with male fighters have guide some to offer this as definitive evidence of Rasputins sexuality. The video below shows this travel in action.

That snowy morning of December 16, , had seen him staggering into his St Petersburg flat in the early hours, clearly embracing one of his favourite dictums, that wine was ‘God’s own remedy’.
This was by no means extraordinary according to the police bodyguards who watched over his home on the direct orders of Tsar Nicholas II and his wife Tsarina Alexandra, the last rulers of the doomed Romanov dyn

Prince Feliks Yusupov is twenty-nine and gifted with swift wits and aesthetic tastes; but his dilettantism is rather too prone to perverse imaginings and literary representations of vice and death. So I am afraid that he has regarded the murder of Rasputin mainly as a scenario worthy of his favourite author, Oscar Wilde. In any case his instincts, countenance and manner make him much closer akin to the hero of Dorian Grey than to Brutus or Lorenzaccio
(2) Felix Yusupov wrote about his views on the Russo-Japanese War in his autobiography published in
The war with Japan, one of the most terrible blunders made during the reign of Nicholas II, had disastrous consequences and marked the beginning of our misfortunes. Russia was not prepared for war, and those who encouraged the Tsar in his purpose betrayed their Sovereign as well as their country. Russia's enemies took advantage of the general dissatisfaction to set the Government and the masses against each other.
