Matthews is depicted as a well-adjusted gay man, who is in a relationship with Todd Rice, better known as the superhero Obsidian. The relationship between Damon and Todd is introduced in Manhunter #18. Matthews is initially unaware of Rice's superhero status, or that he is the son of the original Green Lantern, Alan Scott; he discovers this when he encounters a projected hologram of Scott in Todd's home, who Todd calls "Dad." He remains optimistic about his boyfriend's career.
In Manhunter #38, the final issue of that run, Damon and Todd are still shown to be close to Kate and her son, Ramsey Spencer, fifteen years in the future. Ramsey, who also turns out to be homosexual feels a kinship to the couple.
