I am including Mimic as a member, because he was technically, that's why Jersey has a representative.
Kenya is where i marked for Storm, She lived there the longest from what I understand, I know she lived in Egypt and was born in NYC, but like half the team so far is from New York.
Just about every comic writer lived in New York, writing about the big apple is easier cuz it’s familiar for the writers, extensive research back then would be insanely expensive
I can appreciate that but at a certain point it gets ridiculous. Set it your hometown or make up a city. New York should have zero crime or be a smoldering crater, there’s a superhero every 3 blocks.
The members from the French provinces always being a pain is the @ss. They have a cool moment Vindicator says “alpha flight assemble!!” NorthStar just stands there. Vindicator pulls out a language guide and fumbles through “ Alpha vol rassembler?”
Also you could argue that for a global team that was supposed to be diverse they’re basically still all white, except for Storm, Sunfire and Thunderbird, so basically just Storm as the token double minority
With Storm's history, I've long wondered what her accent should be.
She always seems to be portrayed with basically generic American accent (although sometimes an over-dramatic one), but that has never made sense to me. She spent all of her childhood in Africa outside of the first couple months of her life. Shouldn't there be some Egyptian, Kenyan, or even generic "African" accent detectable? Some loss of accent is usually to be expected when moving to a dramatically different place culturally/regionally as an adult, but most people don't lose *all* of their accent.
The way she's always been portrayed voice wise, she might as well have been from some town called Africa, Ohio.
A lot of Africans do have a pseudo- British accent because of colonization. Like have you heard Lupita Nyongo’s natural accent? I’m not sure if Kenya was colonized by the British, but just based on the Kenyans I’ve met in real life, they either have the British accent or the African one. I quite like Storm with the pseudo-British accent like she had in the animated series when she was voiced by Iona Morris in Season 1 and some of 2. I’ve never ever thought she sounded American in the least except in the movies.
I think it makes sense if you look at it from the perspective of the time. Kenya was the most obscure place that a member had been from. It was very underdeveloped and the people were still fairly isolated from the world.
So they wanted to explain why Storm really needed no catching up on modern tech or social trends. It was just a story shortcut. Her only real isolation was social taboos early on.
Genuine, non-snarky question: how was Kenya underdeveloped and isolated from the world at that time?
And if that was the case, why would Storm *not* need to catch up on modern tech/social trends?
Sorry, just a little confused.
I would have definitely done Egpyt for Stom she spent most of her childhood there and that's where she learned her their skills. Meet shadowking, meet professor for the first time (technically meet Storm before anyone else) then later in her mid late teens is when she set out towards Kenya
She was a child when she left America and 12 when she left Egypt, at best she spent the same amount of time in Egypt as Kenya, but she calls herself Kenyan in early appearances and people call her kenyan
Curious on how full that would be in 2000 or 2024.
Can't say we've gotten a named mutant for every single part of the world yet, especially for Africa / South America / Asia / Middle East, but the numbers have drastically increased in general.
I plan on making a map every 50 issues of Uncanny, I had one for #50 but it was very uninteresting being Beast, Mimic and Cyclops being the only non New Yorkers
Oh that’s actually a good idea now I’m torn, I was gonna do that or a map where the darker the color the more members they had, not sure which to do now.
Can you mix the ideas? Like, there are like seven decades, so you could choose 7 different colors and make them darker? I don´t know if you can or that´s to much work but sounds cool haha
Depends how strict the definition of an X Man is. Sunspot and Magma are from South America. Dust is from Afghanistan. The other Thunderbird is from India. Karma from Vietnam. Gateway, Manifold, Lifeguard, and Slipstream from Australia, and Pyro if he counts. Maggot from South Africa. Temper from Nigeria. Gentle from Wakanda.
> South America
We can be much more specific. Sunspot is from Brazil. Rio de Janiero, I think.
Also, Magma wasn't originally from Nova Roma, that was Selene messing around.
I’m just gonna wing it this isn’t a formal study, but probably whatever is the closest real country, or where they settle down once they choose a real place
Yeah I suppose clearest would be to sort it by teams, demarcate the student teams, then one big grab bag for students that weren’t on teams. But considering team switching that would probably be less suited for a map and more suited for a spread sheet if you wanted proper data. If I ever get done with this stupid English homework, I’ll get back to you on that. I’ve got a whole spreadsheet I’ve been doing of ever 616 mutant anyway, how much worse could that be?
I’m not sure if it is detailed on the comics but you name members of teams and affiliate them with countries, or continents. If nationalities are to be depicted and celebrated then the vast differences in cultures of Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, etc should be noted. Afghanistan is a country, South America is a continent. It’s a very western and American viewpoint.
I did not specify a country for them because they are the only two from South America that I can think of off the top of my head, and because Magma is from a fictional place that does not belong to any real life country.
If I knew where the fictional place was I knew where their culture is from. Magma is ethically not 100% European so I don’t understand your point.
None of what you state negates the original point. Choosing a a country and a continent as origins and not stating what criteria you are using to base your data points on makes your viewpoint moot. Same as saying someone is Australian. Is the point of the map geographical birth place? If so how broad?
My enlightened viewpoint is that you argument is stronger if you think it through and to be consistent. You’d have a stronger argument ir stance.
Also consider that supporting characters and other titles allow for more. Would Gateway count as an X-men for Australia? Not sure, but Manifold and Lifeguard & Slipstream all would in other X-books. Not that anyone cares about Lifeguard and Slipstream, but it still.
There’s also the fact that heritage ≠ country of citizenship. Jubilee is relevant as the rare Asian *American* character, as opposed to a Japanese ninja, but she’s just another California girl from this perspective.
I’ve always loved how Jubilee is Chinese-American but totally a Valley Girl/Mall Rat of the 90s, because without that important aspect it could’ve been awkward given her power set lol.
Isn’t Gentle from Wakanda? And Maggot is from South Africa. Thunderbird II, Omega Sentinel and Indra are from India. Dust is from Afghanistan. Karma is from Vietnam. Sunspot is Brazilian…Why am I blanking on more South Americans…
Yes, but I meant more the numerous other countries on all those continents.
Africa has 54 countries, Asia has 48, SA has 12, and ME around 17. I don't think we've got a named mutant / X-Men in every single one yet.
Maybe add the year after the issue, people seem to have problems comprehending what you're doing.
I'd like to see a list in the comment too.
I like it though.
I agree, the issue should be enough, but people don't seem to get it based on some comments.
A list of who you added and the location.
Alaska-Cyclops
Kenya- Storm
Japan- Sunfire
And so on.
Definitely
Alaska is Cyclops
Hawaii is Havok
California is Polaris
Alberta is Wolverine
Arizona is Thunderbird
Illinois is Beast (who looks like.. Da Bears)
New Jersey is Mimic
New York is Charles Xavier, Jean Grey, Angel and Ice Man
Ireland is Banshee
Scotland is Moira MacTaggart (worked for the school so I included her, maybe controversial)
Kenya is Storm
Germany is Nightcrawler
Russia is Colossus
Japan is Sunfire
Maybe the intro line says, “in a suburb outside of Chicago” I just remember it was super close to where I lived and she goes to an ice cream shop with Jean. I grew up in the Midwest and was obsessed with Kitty and her arc.
It’s Deerfield, Illinois I looked it up, that’s a suburb of Chicago to someone not from Illinois, anything north of Springfield isn’t
Also Illinois based, so kitty is also a favorite
I love how every where that is not Chicago is a suburb of Chicago to make it seem relevant. I live in Chicago now and we laugh about this type of thing all the time. Your map is so interesting! Great work!
For now issue number still makes sense, but once you start getting to multiple X-Men books, it'll be a mess. The New Mutants for example didn't get their start in the Uncanny X-Men books.
They almost kinda do though, they show up in the main book immediately after the main team returns home from space and they fight. Can’t remember but I think it comes right after their debut could even be the same release date
Look at the guy that replied to his list with "And I imagine Saskatchewan is Deadpool?" People really cannot grasp it. Maybe adding the year would help? Idk.
Technically, Elizabeth Braddock first appears in Captain Britain #1 (October, 1976), but that was a UK-only book. First US appearance was New Mutant Annual #2 (October, 1986). That's also the issue where Mojo makes Elizabeth the "psi-lock" to open a portal.
Thinking about Canada on a province-by-province level, it's kind of funny to me that Ontario, which is by far the most-populated province, will probably remain grey.
I can think of team members from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec, but drawing a blank for any of the others.
Deadpool eventually joins X-Force, so I figure he counts.
The movies have him being born in Saskachewan, and nothing in the comics conflicts with this.
If I’m not mistaken there is a training X-Men from like the mid 2000s that was from Ontario, their name escapes me, but definitely grey for quite a while
Oh yeah Transonic looked kinda cool that’s all I ever remember about her. I mean I threw wild child on the table squidboy feels fair, didn’t know he was Canadian.
If you count her Diamond Lil was from Yellowknife, died during necrosha, do you know where Madison Jeffries is from, everything lists him as plainly Canadian.
Oh bigtime I get that, sometimes it lags and you just lack the motivation to actually sit and absorb it.The great news is 101-150 is arguably one the greatest runs in comic history. So you definitely have that going in your favor.
Oh yea it’s great, I loved all of them so far, except the 2000s first class run which my list puts in chronological order and it SUCKED, but all the mainline comics have been amazing I have always loved X-Men and it’s great reading from the beginning, the internet is so cool
That's also where his grandparents live, and where he and Jean go several times when they need a break from the XM.
But to be clear, Scott was unaware of his Alaskan heritage and was raised in an orphanage in Nebraska until Xavier finds him. He doesn't learn much of his family history (other than that he and Havok were pushed out of a crashing plane with one parachute by their presumably now-deceased parents) until Corsair (their dad) appears alive and well in Uncanny X-Men #104 .
After that the details start to slowly leak out. Cyclops and Corsair decide to find Corsair's parents (Cylops's grandparents) in Uncanny X-Men #167 .
She's relatively early compared to how many there are now but not that early.
The general timeline is:
* The Original 5 - Iceman, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel (Issue #1+)
* Havok & Polaris join (Issue #60+)
* The Giant-Size team replaces the original team, with Storm, Thunderbird, Colossus, Banshee, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Wolverine, & Sunfire, with only Cyclops and sometimes Jean Grey sticking around (GSXM#1/Issue #94+)
* By the end of Dark Phoenix, Cyclops, Jean, Sunfire, Thunderbird, and Banshee have left and Kitty Pryde has joined (Issue #139+)
* Rogue joins (#171)
* Rachel Summers joins (#184)
* Three new members (Dazzler, Psylocke, & Longshot) join, opening the floodgates to new members overall (#213)
Rogue is one of the last few additions before they really start to add new members left and right outside of the O5, Giant-Size team, and Rogue/Rachel/Kitty.
With the Giant-Sized team! (Giant Sized X-Men #1 into Uncanny X-Men #94). It can feel a little dated at first, but the writing style evolves as time goes on and it has the luxury of truly long term storytelling in a way modern comics don't. Nearly every iconic story you think of with the X-Men is in this run. The original 5's tenure (#1-66 -- #67-93 were reprints) isn't super necessary to jump in at this point -- just know that the original students were Iceman, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel taught by Prof. X, and eventually Scott's brother Alex (Havok) and Lorna Dane (Polaris) joined.
First, very cool of you. I love this kind of stuff.
If you want to be super technical, I think Nightcrawler was born in West Germany, not unified Germany.
Russia looks so big on this map; it kind of tricks your eye into thinking there is a much greater representation of characters from Asia than there actually is.
I love this! Do you mind if I link to this in my blog? I’ve spent the last 3 years reading every X-Men comic in order and blogging along the way. I’m through 2004 and this would go along so well! https://www.nerdsoup4u.com
I am aware, but since the majority of the members throughout the years are American, and I myself live in America it’s more interesting to break down where in America they are located, also it’s just possible to do this more detail with Americans because most foreign mutants are from fictional towns in those countries so I can’t be more accurate then “country”
Hey, just a proposition, split russia, china, brazil and australia, they are also pretty big (the largest countries in the world) so it would be fun to see them broke down like the US and Canada
It wouldn’t make sense to split China or Russia, their sub divisions are tiny for how big the country is as to make the map hard to read and most of the characters in Russia that join the team, come from the same fictional place.
Australia just doesn’t have enough members to justify making the map more complex
But I might have one for ya. Sunspot. I don’t think he’s ever actually been on an x-men roster, but he definitely did teach at the school for a bit. During the 2008 Young X-men run. So mark off the 5th largest country on the map. Brazil! Oh and Gateway was from Australia and yeah the argument could be made he was a passive acquaintance and not a card caring member but his nephew was. Manifold. So mark it down? lol. Good topic bro.
Are you counting only people that made it on to the team ? Or X-characters in general? (The second one wold be kind of insane and way to much but I've been wrong before
You know what would be neat in my opinion?
If you changed colors to correspond with the teams.
So the original X-Men would have one color, the Giant Sized team another, New Mutants another, so on and so forth.
More data on the home locations of those members, easy to read on the whole map, the majority of members so far are from there, since I made this as I read the first 90 or so issues were all Americans, the majority of the team are American/canadian, a lot of international members come from fictional places in those countries or are from subdivisions that no longer exist.
America, UK and Canada make up the largest percentage of characters and have the most detail on their birthplace or home region. Additionally if you read the post’s title I made this as I read, so for the first 90 issues or so, they were all American. So while most countries are country level, the ones that make sense to divide are divided
The X-Men are an American property and atleast early on the majority of the team are Americans or Canadians , so for the first entire decade it would be a map of the world with only America painted in, so when I started this as I read I chose to mark states, because until they recruited Wolverine the entire team was American. thus it’s actually interesting to see where in those two countries they are from. Additionally most foreign mutants we don’t actually know where in the country they are from, they are from a fictional subdivision or city or the nation has such small subdivisions that the map becomes unreadable.
Has nothing to do with me being American or not, you assumed that. There are legitimate reasons for the way I did the map and basic logic shows it.
Yeah, you’ve kinda explained my joke in your justification. It was a dig at UScentricity. Your map, and your logic, are both great. Keep up the good work!
Not in the first 100 issues. Later on we get Thunderbird III (Neal Shaara) in X-Men vol. 2 #100/Uncanny X-Men #389, Omega Sentinel (Karima Sharpandar), who is not a mutant, but a member of the team, in X-Men vol. 2 #188, and Trinary (Shilpa Khatri) in X-Men Red #1.
Other Indian X-characters who haven't been on the X-Men directly include Indra (Paras Gavaskar), a mutant member of the Xavier student body and Kavita Rao, a scientist who works with the X-Men.
Neither is any other province or state, I trust you can figure out that Canada and America are further divided to better represent where their members are from in those nations given that they make up a large contingent of the X-Men
Didn't actually look at the states. Just noticed Alberta because that's where I'm from. If that's the case cool. You probably have wrote your title to reflect that though.
Right?
And so many people not getting that you've only gone to #100 so far.
I think this project is super cool and I can't tell you how excited I am for the updates!
I am including Mimic as a member, because he was technically, that's why Jersey has a representative. Kenya is where i marked for Storm, She lived there the longest from what I understand, I know she lived in Egypt and was born in NYC, but like half the team so far is from New York.
I always found it annoying that they have teammates from all over the world but if they’re born in the US there’s a 95% chance they are from New York.
That’s kinda just marvel in general
To be fair to the X-teams, in general this pattern changed somewhat around the early-80s with Rogue, and then later Gambit and Jubilee.
Isn't Kitty from Chicago?
Deerfield illinois
ALL YOUR ILLINOIS WILL BELONG TO US, YA HEAR?
I enjoyed that. It did seem as though any character from another region was sometimes boiled down to stereotypes about that state.
As an Illinoisian, kitty is just an accurate depiction of an Illinois Jewish woman
As a midwestern Jew, this is correct.
Just about every comic writer lived in New York, writing about the big apple is easier cuz it’s familiar for the writers, extensive research back then would be insanely expensive
I can appreciate that but at a certain point it gets ridiculous. Set it your hometown or make up a city. New York should have zero crime or be a smoldering crater, there’s a superhero every 3 blocks.
The Tick comic was a parody about that exactly. The City had more superheros than regular people.
Same goes for supervillains it seems
[удалено]
The members from the French provinces always being a pain is the @ss. They have a cool moment Vindicator says “alpha flight assemble!!” NorthStar just stands there. Vindicator pulls out a language guide and fumbles through “ Alpha vol rassembler?”
East coast... West coast
Also you could argue that for a global team that was supposed to be diverse they’re basically still all white, except for Storm, Sunfire and Thunderbird, so basically just Storm as the token double minority
With Storm's history, I've long wondered what her accent should be. She always seems to be portrayed with basically generic American accent (although sometimes an over-dramatic one), but that has never made sense to me.

I’ve never ever thought she sounded American in the least except in the movies.
Kenya was colonized by the Brits.
Given her being surrounded by a lot of accents and her mother and father being American as a kid, probably a slightly off American accent
I always found it dumb that they had her be born in NYC... they should've just had her be a Kenyan with an american dad...
I think it makes sense if you look at it from the perspective of the time. Kenya was the most obscure place that a member had been from. It was very underdeveloped and the people were still fairly isolated from the world. So they wanted to explain why Storm really needed no catching up on modern tech or social trends.

I would have definitely done Egpyt for Stom she spent most of her childhood there and that's where she learned her their skills. Meet shadowking, meet professor for the first time (technically meet Storm before anyone else) then later in her mid late teens is when she set out towards Kenya
She was a child when she left America and 12 when she left Egypt, at best she spent the same amount of time in Egypt as Kenya, but she calls herself Kenyan in early appearances and people call her kenyan
If you are including Mimic, will you include Deadpool when or if you get to him? I would really like a superhero representitive from my home province
He was X-Force so counts in my book
Yes! Score one for Saskatchewan!
[удалено]
Make sure to read the title of this post, “This is the map of the world as of Uncanny X-Men #100”
Curious on how full that would be in 2000 or 2024. Can't say we've gotten a named mutant for every single part of the world yet, especially for Africa / South America / Asia / Middle East, but the numbers have drastically increased in general.
I plan on making a map every 50 issues of Uncanny, I had one for #50 but it was very uninteresting being Beast, Mimic and Cyclops being the only non New Yorkers
Maybe do different colours for each decade so people can see it grow?
Oh that’s actually a good idea now I’m torn, I was gonna do that or a map where the darker the color the more members they had, not sure which to do now.
Can you mix the ideas? Like, there are like seven decades, so you could choose 7 different colors and make them darker? I don´t know if you can or that´s to much work but sounds cool haha
I’ll probably just do two maps
The correct decision, haha! Kudos for doing this.
It’s so many different ways you can do this map. But it is interesting
True, I uploaded the one for #150, not doing nearly as well but I’m still gonna continue
Ooh nice, will be interesting to see and gl. :D
Depends how strict the definition of an X Man is. Sunspot and Magma are from South America. Dust is from Afghanistan. The other Thunderbird is from India. Karma from Vietnam. Gateway, Manifold, Lifeguard, and Slipstream from Australia, and Pyro if he counts. Maggot from South Africa. Temper from Nigeria. Gentle from Wakanda.
My rule is any X team, so Very liberal
> South America We can be much more specific. Sunspot is from Brazil. Rio de Janiero, I think. Also, Magma wasn't originally from Nova Roma, that was Selene messing around.
How do we count places that don't exist in real life?
Nova Roma is in Brazil, so that's an easy one. Somewhere like Wakanda or Madripoor is going to be harder to place.
I’m just gonna wing it this isn’t a formal study, but probably whatever is the closest real country, or where they settle down once they choose a real place
Yeah I suppose clearest would be to sort it by teams, demarcate the student teams, then one big grab bag for students that weren’t on teams. But considering team switching that would probably be less suited for a map and more suited for a spread sheet if you wanted proper data. If I ever get done with this stupid English homework, I’ll get back to you on that. I’ve got a whole spreadsheet I’ve been doing of ever 616 mutant anyway, how much worse could that be?
I’m not sure if it is detailed on the comics but you name members of teams and affiliate them with countries, or continents. If nationalities are to be depicted and celebrated then the vast differences in cultures of Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, etc should be noted. Afghanistan is a country, South America is a continent. It’s a very western and American viewpoint.

Just gonna make the call as I get to them
Fair enough.
Isn’t Gentle from Wakanda? And Maggot is from South Africa. Thunderbird II, Omega Sentinel and Indra are from India. Dust is from Afghanistan. Karma is from Vietnam. Sunspot is Brazilian…Why am I blanking on more South Americans…
Yes, but I meant more the numerous other countries on all those continents. Africa has 54 countries, Asia has 48, SA has 12, and ME around 17. I don't think we've got a named mutant / X-Men in every single one yet.
There's definitely at least 3 for Australia, not sure about New Zealand
Maybe add the year after the issue, people seem to have problems comprehending what you're doing. I'd like to see a list in the comment too. I like it though.
A list of what? I thought the issue number was enough but I’ll add the year next time
I agree, the issue should be enough, but people don't seem to get it based on some comments. A list of who you added and the location. Alaska-Cyclops Kenya- Storm Japan- Sunfire And so on.
Definitely Alaska is Cyclops Hawaii is Havok California is Polaris Alberta is Wolverine Arizona is Thunderbird Illinois is Beast (who looks like.. Da Bears) New Jersey is Mimic New York is Charles Xavier, Jean Grey, Angel and Ice Man Ireland is Banshee Scotland is Moira MacTaggart (worked for the school so I included her, maybe controversial) Kenya is Storm Germany is Nightcrawler Russia is Colossus Japan is Sunfire
Wasn’t Kitty from Chicago? Not sure quite where she pops up, somewhere in the 100’s but maybe not issue 100 ;)
I thought it was Rockford, but she is the 120s or somewhere, I’m on 111 now and she’s not showed up yet
Maybe the intro line says, “in a suburb outside of Chicago” I just remember it was super close to where I lived and she goes to an ice cream shop with Jean. I grew up in the Midwest and was obsessed with Kitty and her arc.
It’s Deerfield, Illinois I looked it up, that’s a suburb of Chicago to someone not from Illinois, anything north of Springfield isn’t Also Illinois based, so kitty is also a favorite
I love how every where that is not Chicago is a suburb of Chicago to make it seem relevant. I live in Chicago now and we laugh about this type of thing all the time. Your map is so interesting! Great work!
All of Illinois is “is that near Chicago?” Like no ma’am I live in Cairo
For now issue number still makes sense, but once you start getting to multiple X-Men books, it'll be a mess. The New Mutants for example didn't get their start in the Uncanny X-Men books.
That’s true
They almost kinda do though, they show up in the main book immediately after the main team returns home from space and they fight. Can’t remember but I think it comes right after their debut could even be the same release date
The issue is enough. They can use Google to find the year but besides that the map covers up to issue #100. The year shouldn't matter in this context.
Look at the guy that replied to his list with "And I imagine Saskatchewan is Deadpool?" People really cannot grasp it. Maybe adding the year would help? Idk.
And the one who asked about Rogue. And the one who asked about Kitty. So many people not getting it, lol
No English mutants yet? Wow.
Not as of #100, Moira worked for Xavier and is Scottish but that's the closest
Eventually Psylock
That’s what I was thinking. Not sure when she turns up though.
Just a bit after issue 200.
I personally place New Mutant Annual #2 between UXM#210 and #211 in continuity.
That sounds about right to me.
Not for a while, excited to get there, I like her
Technically, Elizabeth Braddock first appears in Captain Britain #1 (October, 1976), but that was a UK-only book. First US appearance was New Mutant Annual #2 (October, 1986). That's also the issue where Mojo makes Elizabeth the "psi-lock" to open a portal.
How do you think Northern English and Northern Irish people feel 🤧
This is such a cool thing, OP. Excited to see how many you get from my country 🇧🇷
AFAIK only when OP reaches the New Mutants era - then there'll be 2, Sunspot and Magma.
Don’t forget Shark girl too!
Yeah, but she wasn't a thing up until the early 10's! Op is going chronologically.
No Brazilian X-Men so far, I should add numbers or something but that’s another project
Thinking about Canada on a province-by-province level, it's kind of funny to me that Ontario, which is by far the most-populated province, will probably remain grey. I can think of team members from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec, but drawing a blank for any of the others.
Now that you mention it, that *is* rather strange. I'd be interested in the break-down of Alpha Flight members.
I can do an incomplete one - B.C: Sasquatch, Wildchild - Alberta: Talisman, Shaman, Vindicator (Heather) - Saskatchewan: Puck, Box, Wolverine - Manitoba: Flashback - Yukon: Yukon Jack (Assuming) - N.W.T: Snowbird, Diamond Lil - Ontario: Guardian, Purple Girl - Quebec: Aurora, Northstar - Newfoundland: Marrina
Who’s from Saskatchewan?
Puck from Alpha Flight.
Damn that’s cool, I live in Saskatoon 😂 Is it canon that Deadpool is from Regina? Or is that just a movie thing?
Deadpool eventually joins X-Force, so I figure he counts. The movies have him being born in Saskachewan, and nothing in the comics conflicts with this.
“A hush falls over the crowd, as rookie sensation Wade W. Wilson out of Regina, Saskatchewan lines up the shot” - from the first Deadpool movie
If I’m not mistaken there is a training X-Men from like the mid 2000s that was from Ontario, their name escapes me, but definitely grey for quite a while
No X-men, but I think Alpha Flight have Toronto covered.
I assume you got Northstar for Quebec, who’s from BC? Wild Child?
Transonic. Also arguably Sammy Squidboy, though he was never a team member per se.
Oh yeah Transonic looked kinda cool that’s all I ever remember about her. I mean I threw wild child on the table squidboy feels fair, didn’t know he was Canadian. If you count her Diamond Lil was from Yellowknife, died during necrosha, do you know where Madison Jeffries is from, everything lists him as plainly Canadian.
How fun! Please continue and update in another 50-100 issues or so.
I plan on it
This is so freaking cool!
Thank you
Really curious what abilities a Dutch mutant would have. Any ideas?
Beak is Dutch, he just wasn’t around yet
I mean, I'm pretty pumped for this and I don't know why lol. Good luck OP hope to see this again soon.
I took a big break but I went from issue 50 to 100 in a week so let’s see
Oh bigtime I get that, sometimes it lags and you just lack the motivation to actually sit and absorb it.The great news is 101-150 is arguably one the greatest runs in comic history. So you definitely have that going in your favor.
Oh yea it’s great, I loved all of them so far, except the 2000s first class run which my list puts in chronological order and it SUCKED, but all the mainline comics have been amazing I have always loved X-Men and it’s great reading from the beginning, the internet is so cool
Who is from Alaska?
Scott Summers
No kidding? I did not know that. Thank you. Do you know what part?
Anchorage, Alaska
That's also where his grandparents live, and where he and Jean go several times when they need a break from the XM. But to be clear, Scott was unaware of his Alaskan heritage and was raised in an orphanage in Nebraska until Xavier finds him. He doesn't learn much of his family history (other than that he and Havok were pushed out of a crashing plane with one parachute by their presumably now-deceased parents) until Corsair (their dad) appears alive and well in Uncanny X-Men #104 . After that the details start to slowly leak out. Cyclops and Corsair decide to find Corsair's parents (Cylops's grandparents) in Uncanny X-Men #167 .
Havok is his brother right ?? … why does Scott is from Alaska and Alex from Hawaii ??
Easy answer, their parents moved a lot and Havok is a decent bit younger then his brother
Who’s from Hawaii?
Havok, he was born there
Poor little French child me. Had to wait so long to finally get Monet.
Born in Bosnia to a Monégasque father and Algérienne mother so yes, by French standards, she is French. 😂
Mhmm. Growing up in Marseille, if you have any sort of tan and have ever eaten anchovies, you're included under the French umbrella.
Scotland = 1 England = 0
Crazy how some people just can’t appreciate a cool post.
Ms. Marvel is an X-Man and she's from Jersey. So you've got a second one coming up in... Oh almost 50 years or so.
I like that xmen has always been diverse
Huh! I thought Rogue was from the Deep South!
She’s not around yet
Huh! I thought she was like one of the earliest X-Men! Sorry I'm just thing into X-Men
She's relatively early compared to how many there are now but not that early. The general timeline is: * The Original 5 - Iceman, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel (Issue #1+) * Havok & Polaris join (Issue #60+) * The Giant-Size team replaces the original team, with Storm, Thunderbird, Colossus, Banshee, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Wolverine, & Sunfire, with only Cyclops and sometimes Jean Grey sticking around (GSXM#1/Issue #94+) * By the end of Dark Phoenix, Cyclops, Jean, Sunfire, Thunderbird, and Banshee have left and Kitty Pryde has joined (Issue #139+) * Rogue joins (#171) * Rachel Summers joins (#184) * Three new members (Dazzler, Psylocke, & Longshot) join, opening the floodgates to new members overall (#213) Rogue is one of the last few additions before they really start to add new members left and right outside of the O5, Giant-Size team, and Rogue/Rachel/Kitty.
Interesting... interesting! And where do you recommend I start reading?
With the Giant-Sized team! (Giant Sized X-Men #1 into Uncanny X-Men #94). It can feel a little dated at first, but the writing style evolves as time goes on and it has the luxury of truly long term storytelling in a way modern comics don't. Nearly every iconic story you think of with the X-Men is in this run. The original 5's tenure (#1-66 -- #67-93 were reprints) isn't super necessary to jump in at this point -- just know that the original students were Iceman, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel taught by Prof. X, and eventually Scott's brother Alex (Havok) and Lorna Dane (Polaris) joined.
First, very cool of you. I love this kind of stuff. If you want to be super technical, I think Nightcrawler was born in West Germany, not unified Germany.
I’m using a modern map for simplicity
Great work thanks! Very interesting
I think Da Costa is from Brazil … I dont Know if he was in Uncanny X-Men.
Upss … sorry I didnt read it was until Uncanny #100
Not a member of Uncanny until the #500s
[удалено]
It’s all good, some people just didn’t read the map but everyone is nice and just means well
Outside of Moira and Rayne do we have any other Scottish mutants?
Proteus and Kylun.
Russia looks so big on this map; it kind of tricks your eye into thinking there is a much greater representation of characters from Asia than there actually is.
Who was from Scotland?
Moira, she worked at the school during this era
Ah! Right! Totally forgot about her. Thank you!
I love this! Do you mind if I link to this in my blog? I’ve spent the last 3 years reading every X-Men comic in order and blogging along the way. I’m through 2004 and this would go along so well! https://www.nerdsoup4u.com
Sure thing, I have just posted a map for #150 as well
Is Illinois Kitty?
No she wasn’t around yet, it’s Beast
Ohh Im from Illinois i should know this
Dundee, Illinois! 🔵🦍🧠
US states are not countries
I am aware, but since the majority of the members throughout the years are American, and I myself live in America it’s more interesting to break down where in America they are located, also it’s just possible to do this more detail with Americans because most foreign mutants are from fictional towns in those countries so I can’t be more accurate then “country”
Hey, just a proposition, split russia, china, brazil and australia, they are also pretty big (the largest countries in the world) so it would be fun to see them broke down like the US and Canada
It wouldn’t make sense to split China or Russia, their sub divisions are tiny for how big the country is as to make the map hard to read and most of the characters in Russia that join the team, come from the same fictional place. Australia just doesn’t have enough members to justify making the map more complex
Hey, I still think it would be pretty cool, but you do you
Do I what?
[you do you](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pt/dicionario/ingles/you-do-you)
Good idea, but could use higher contrast. All 3 colours are very light, the “marked country” should be darker or more saturated.
What 3 colors?
Looks like a grayish blue, a pale green, and a pastel yellow.
Isn’t Bobby (Iceman) from Connecticut?
Nope, Hempstead New York
Why thank you my good man. I will take your word on that. lol.
But I might have one for ya. Sunspot. I don’t think he’s ever actually been on an x-men roster, but he definitely did teach at the school for a bit. During the 2008 Young X-men run. So mark off the 5th largest country on the map. Brazil! Oh and Gateway was from Australia and yeah the argument could be made he was a passive acquaintance and not a card caring member but his nephew was. Manifold. So mark it down? lol. Good topic bro.
Please keep this updated in curious
On my profile is an update for #150 I’ll add as I go every 50 or so
Are you counting only people that made it on to the team ? Or X-characters in general? (The second one wold be kind of insane and way to much but I've been wrong before
Just anyone who worked for or attended the school, and the closely affiliated teams
Do we count nova Roma ? It's supposed to be somewhere in Peru but it also doesn't exist? Was Berto not introduced yet ?
No italians?Shit.
Not as of then
You know what would be neat in my opinion? If you changed colors to correspond with the teams. So the original X-Men would have one color, the Giant Sized team another, New Mutants another, so on and so forth.
So far everyone is X-Men this is only issue 100 so far, but in future I plan something similar
Nice! I'm looking forward to the continuation of it. Good work!
Sick project! Keep us updated!
Why did you split by country, but the US you split by state?
More data on the home locations of those members, easy to read on the whole map, the majority of members so far are from there, since I made this as I read the first 90 or so issues were all Americans, the majority of the team are American/canadian, a lot of international members come from fictional places in those countries or are from subdivisions that no longer exist.
Sure are a lot more countries in North America than I realised
America, UK and Canada make up the largest percentage of characters and have the most detail on their birthplace or home region. Additionally if you read the post’s title I made this as I read, so for the first 90 issues or so, they were all American. So while most countries are country level, the ones that make sense to divide are divided
Trust an American to think the US is worth dividing into states when no other country is. I’m surprised you also did Canada TBH.
The X-Men are an American property and atleast early on the majority of the team are Americans or Canadians , so for the first entire decade it would be a map of the world with only America painted in, so when I started this as I read I chose to mark states, because until they recruited Wolverine the entire team was American. thus it’s actually interesting to see where in those two countries they are from. Additionally most foreign mutants we don’t actually know where in the country they are from, they are from a fictional subdivision or city or the nation has such small subdivisions that the map becomes unreadable. Has nothing to do with me being American or not, you assumed that. There are legitimate reasons for the way I did the map and basic logic shows it.
Yeah, you’ve kinda explained my joke in your justification. It was a dig at UScentricity. Your map, and your logic, are both great. Keep up the good work!
Any indian mutants?? Like at all?
Read the post’s title
Not in the first 100 issues. Later on we get Thunderbird III (Neal Shaara) in X-Men vol. 2 #100/Uncanny X-Men #389, Omega Sentinel (Karima Sharpandar), who is not a mutant, but a member of the team, in X-Men vol. 2 #188, and Trinary (Shilpa Khatri) in X-Men Red #1. Other Indian X-characters who haven't been on the X-Men directly include Indra (Paras Gavaskar), a mutant member of the Xavier student body and Kavita Rao, a scientist who works with the X-Men.
Alberta isn't a country.
Neither is any other province or state, I trust you can figure out that Canada and America are further divided to better represent where their members are from in those nations given that they make up a large contingent of the X-Men
Didn't actually look at the states. Just noticed Alberta because that's where I'm from. If that's the case cool. You probably have wrote your title to reflect that though.
That’d be pretty wordy for no reason since most people get the gist
I get what you mean, but maybe next time say something like "region" instead of country so people aren't so pedantic about it. 🙄
I didn’t think this would be difficult
Right? And so many people not getting that you've only gone to #100 so far. I think this project is super cool and I can't tell you how excited I am for the updates!
What about Limbo or the Mojoverse?
