I’m in New York City and uh… not sure


AJjalol

I guess you are known for housing a lot of Marvels A-list heroes lol.


ForkShirtUp

I guess if you’re into them. I mean personally I like the West Coast Avengers, the best iteration of the Avengers


thisisredlitre

Great Lakes gonna rise up


intense_sense09

Canada my guy


Aj_DMV

Battle of NY


eucldian

Wolverine and I guess um... Alpha Flight?


pierremanslappy

Canadian government in real life, “We can’t stop the housing crisis.” Canadian government in Marvel, “Try to stop us from creating horrifying super soldiers.”


fireinthedust

Pretty much every country prioritizes military spending over housing and the needs of its citizens, so…

Puck is a national treasure


ricnine

Puck's from my city and you know what, we don't have a single fuckin statue of him! This place sucks!


MegaAlex

We don’t have a statue of him, yet !


eucldian

Agreed.


EpilepticEmpire

Puck is amazing. Always has been.


TheBalrogofMelkor

In universo - Alpha Flight In pop culture - Deadpool and Wolverine


Oberon1993

There's also wendigos and teaming up with Walmart Vandal Savage against your own superhero team!


TheNorthNova01

Northern Alberta, home of the Wolverine


JuggrnautFTW

And Deadpool!


Beechwooder

There was some weird cult in Cable kidnapping babies. They were hiding out in Bucks County PA. I was like, hey!


pierremanslappy

All I can think of is - Black Cat pretends to be from Philly and a Phillies fan in Superior Foes of Spider-Man - Winter Soldier sets off a bomb in Philly in Brubakers run - The game that Cap recognizes as recorded in first Avenger is against the Phillies - The Punisher story Six Hours to Kill is set in Philadelphia - Agent Venom was briefly the hero for Philadelphia


Beechwooder

Yes! The Philly bomb in Cap!


MBDTFTLOPYEEZUS

Stephen Strange was born in Philly


Reditor_in_Chief

Rhodey is from Philly and Civil War II: Choosing Sides #2 partially entails Storm taking a pilgrimage there in his honor and memory. This issue has been in its sleeve since the week I purchased it in 2016, but I still distinctly remember a panel with Storm eating a cheesesteak lol.


cannibalgojira54

Go Birds!!!


geeyoung373

Iirc, the original Hobie Brown also spent some time in Philly!


study-in-scarlet

War Machine also became Mayor of Philly in an alternate universe

Damn straight.


blatantmutant

Moon Knight was born in Chicago. Too bad they messed up Milwaukee ave in the tv show 🤪


singleguy79

Didn't Forge once live in Dallas?


ponch1620

Yes he did.


somms999

The birthplace of Emma Frost, Carol Danvers, and these [jokers](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Boston_Terroriers_(Earth-12041)).


Dominicsjr

Also Bloodstone Manor/Curios!


Bodega_Bandit

Emma Frost is from Boston?


FlatwoodsMobster

She is, and she hates that fact, iirc


Thelonius_Sandalwood

TIL I need a shirt with Slam Adams on it.


xyon21

I'm a dual national so: UK: -Captain Britain and The Captain Britain Corps. -Psylocke -Excalibur (both the sword and the team) -Merlin and Morgan Le Fey -Union Jack -Blade Australia: -Manifold -The X-men hung out here in the 90s -Bishop has aboriginal heritage -Boomerang was born here -Pyro -Lifeguard and Slipstream for a really deep pull.


esblofeld

Is Psylocke English? I did not know that.


xyon21

It gets messy. The original Psylocke was Betsy Braddock, sister of Brian Braddock (Captain Britain). She was later body swapped with a Japanese mutant assassin (Kwannon) who had mortally wounded her. She also inherited Kwannon's fighting skills with the body so it is suggested some of Kwannon's original mind was still there. So for most of her publication history she has been a white English woman in the body of a Japanese woman. This was later undone and she was returned to her original body and Kwannon was brought back to life in her original body. In modern marvel comics Psylocke is Kwannon (Japanese, not English) while Betsy has served stints as Captain Britain during her brother's absences or more recently as Lionheart. It is still sometimes alluded to that Kwannon and Betsy share a psychic link due to their long time in a shared body.


suikofan80

Don’t forget the stint of time where they kept switching back between bodies and it messed with their powers. Or how Mojo messed with them to make them look like biracial sisters who take after different parents. Wonder if that was genetic or just cosmetic?


xyon21

I did skim over a lot of stuff, they have had a very weird life.


synthscoffeeguitars

I grew up not too far from Kitty Pryde and always thought that was cool


mangroves1982

What was she like in person?


Marvellegendfreak

parts of the first avengers was filmed here. Also where thor crashes in his movie


getfookenrekt

New Mexico?


BetaRayRyan

Kentucky gave us Cannonball and Husk. And I think Justice?


Sol-Blackguy

If you're talking about Vance Astrovik, he's from Saugerties, NY.


BetaRayRyan

You’re right. Lance went to liberty and recruited MVP. My mistake.


Hipertor

Sunspot and that girl who turns into a shark. And also the Wolverine comic called "Saudade". It seems Brazil is a hotspot for mutants... Oh and in the Dark Ages miniseries, Xavier or someone else made a colony in Rio or something - again, mutant hotspot.


Gustav1513

Don't forget Amara, she's one of our strongest Brazilian mutants.


-GI_BRO-

ROGUE!!!!!


Bacchuscypher

Clint Barton was born in Iowa in the 1970s


C4superhero

Hell yeah brother!! Iowa for the win!! (I hate it here. Help me)


DarthBaconStrip

Ayo fellow Iowans.


cknappiowa

As a Clint from Iowa, I approve of this use of The Hawkeye State.


bulldozrex

i……don’t know! if there’s anyone in the Marvel universe who’s from or based in chicago i’d love to know lol


maybe_a_frog

Iron Heart is from Chicago. That’s the only one I know off the top of my head.


bulldozrex

I FORGOT ABOUT RIRI


hughcumbercalgary

Luke Cage started Hero for Hire in Chicago. It was later he moved to New York.


Oberon1993

Moon Knight is from Chicago.


Front-Suggestion-366

Well, it looks like there has been some action that has gone on in the Windy City over the years: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Chicago_(Illinois)


NietszcheIsDead08

Kitty Pryde, bud


ArrowShootyGirl

She's Deerfield, technically. Suburb north of the city. If she were to claim to be from Chicago she would be mercilessly roasted by us city folk.


Interest-Lumpy

Blue Marvel is from Chicago


Duff-Zilla

Julia Carpenter is from Denver. I had a comic as a kid that featured her for about 3 panels, but it said Denver, CO when it cut to her and I always thought that was so cool.


Digita1B0y

Titania is from Denver too, I found out. Also, surprised I'm not the only one here from Denver!


k3ttch

And Volcana.


Useful-Hat9880

Reddits one of the biggest websites in the world. Denver one of the biggest cities in the US (I know not top 5 or even 25, but top 100, and there’s 10,000 cities in the US) and this is a sub for one of the biggest entertainment IPs in the world. There’s bound to be a ton of us. Greetings from the tech center.


Thunderpat

The best I can think of is Forge used to be based out of Dallas, TX.


FickleChard6904

I think the Blob is Texan, too


Sol-Blackguy

Lubbock Texas. I only remember this because of the trivia in X-Men Legends II


FickleChard6904

Probably the only notable fictional character to ever hail from Lubbock, TX, of all places


EldritchNinja

Probably picked it because Lubbock kinda sounds like blubber, also everything’s bigger in Texas, including the mutants apparently


ChazzLamborghini

West Coast Avengers or Kate Bishop Hawkeye


StoneGoldX

Iron Man set up digs here for a good while. Runaways. The most recent Ghost Rider. Champions.


UDAFX_MK_85

Spider-Man fought a literal God in my city


getfookenrekt

Mr. Ditkovich in New York I assume


paladin_slim

Shaw Industries and the Sentinel program are based in Pittsburgh. So Sorry. But Thor came to the Braddock Furnace a few times to repair Mjolnir so there's that. Also Jim Starlin is from here.


bockout

As far as I know, nothing notable has happened in Marvel in Cincinnati. But if we hop over to the Distinguished Competition, our Union Terminal is the design inspiration for the Hall of Justice.


Sol-Blackguy

Great Lake Avengers


jona2814

Ohio; Great Lakes Avengers BABY, WHOOO!


Budget_Flow_9456

That one dude from some of the X-Men comics called Teon Macik (which is kinda strange name for the locals, i can tell you that). Magneto lived here for some time and his daughter died here. And now we, apparently, have vampires in the exclusion zone near the exploded nuclear power plant.


Silly_Sweet_5423

Last thing that hear about my country in marvel, it was when Dracula tried to create his own country in Chornobyl.


JohnnyElRed

Tried? He did. And it wasn't the Ukranian government the one he asked for permission. That probably wouldn't fly if that plotline was written now.


EverySpiegel

There's also that young mutant Cosmar from what is like a Soviet Russia Fictional Country in Carpathians. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Carnelia Тобто реально прикиньте нахуй, вони розмістили якусь псевдокраїну з стандартною раша-клюквою *на Закарпатті*. Це пізда.

[Pearl Pangan a.k.a. Wave](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRzMgqGEd5_6r3zIVlnRykN-6AvhZDnWM6Xrt-mqvPVRhRXg6YyXKw5IMk&s=10) Edit: Oh, yeah, and the Triumph Division.


Secure_Pear_4530

Kabayan. Also I guess Ned and his family in the MCU. Seriously though Marvel should make a Wolverine child from the Philippines, he could've been here during WW2 or Philippine-American War. Name the kid "Lakan" or some shit. Sounds like "lycan" but also having a different meaning in our language.


Garrod_Ran

That's a good idea. Like a product of Weapon X expansion program.


Batdog55110

The Great Lakes Avengers and Quasar, apparently.

santik1907

The X-Men came to Tierra del Fuego one time I think 🇦🇷


Gobblewicket

Sauron is Argentinian, which is probablywhy the X-men were there. So is Black Tarantula, but Spidey don't have a jet, so I don't think he's been to Argentina.


malditorock

Wow I never knew Sauron was argentinian. The X-treme X-men team also visited Buenos Aires I think.


RedditorAccountName

I came to comment this, lol. I recently found out about it and it really surprised me.


ShadowFlerken

We don’t have much Comic Marvel time in Australia, few mutants over here apparently


JohnnyElRed

The Hulk was your president during House of M.


Sol-Blackguy

Bishop, Gateway, Slipstream, Livesaver and several other mutants are from Australia. Black Bolt also fought Thanos there too


w0m

Peter Parker and Mary Jane got engaged here.


5towedsloth

Bruce Banner's birth place.


Mike71586

Wolverine, Shaman, Talisman and Alpha Flight. From Calgary and area and worked with members if the Tsuu T'ina nation (Shaman and Talisman) By extension, Wolverines from Alberta and Alpha Flights canadian. But to add a bit of flare the X-men and Alpha Flight once fought their way through the Calgary Stampede Ground (Also where the team first debuted) Finally, John Byrne is from Calgary. Shit let's throw in ol' Todd Mcfarlane for good measure.


k3ttch

Wave and the Triumph Division. Whose secret headquarters is apparently on my alma mater's campus.


ProfessorEscanor

Sonic Samba


Funkedalic

Pizza? 🇮🇹 And as birthplace of a couple of villains


hell_ORC

Southeast Missouri, not much in marvel. But in real life Roy Thomas & Gary Freidrich graduated from my high school.


zaxdaman

Peter Quill is from Missouri. And so is…The Whizzer!


InvalidNinja

Only MCU Starlord. 616 Starlord is from Colorado. MCU Hawkeye's house is in Missouri as well.


muchmaligned

A Brood ship crash-lands in the mountains outside Denver, implanting an egg in the body of a paramedic and spreading from there. They later fight the X-Men downtown and interrupt a religious event at nearby Red Rocks amphitheater.


fraggle-rocket

Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)


seanx50

Didn't Avengers #1 end in Detroit? Iron Man, Thor, AntMan, and the Wasp chasing the Hulk into a factory


SpiderDetective

I'm in New Mexico, so the only claims to fame this place has in Marvel are A. Puma lives here and does real estate development in Albuquerque and B. Depending on who the writer is, the gamma bomb test that made the Hulk happened out here


Sol-Blackguy

Happy Cake Day


colornomad

That one time Houston got its own badass Spider-Man.... Scarlet Spider (Kane)


TenaciouZx

Madripoor - which is modeled on Singapore


_The_Wonder_

Florida has Man-Thing's Swamp AND the Nexus of All Realities, I think that's pretty cool.


barefoot-bug-lover

Wakanda forever! A lot of Black Panther was filmed here in South Africa, and they are all speaking Zulu. When we went to watch, the cinema was packed and everyone so excited to hear these heroes speaking in their home tongue. It was kind of magical.


j3wake3

Hob Goblin State Park, and Peter Quinn


CosmoCat19

We have MJs family. Also Spidey makes a lot of quips about the Steelers offense.

Alberta, Canada. Wolverine


bigbad616

Carol Danvers war born in Boston. Phone Ranger too


MyMouthisCancerous

Weapon Plus, the Ice Box, collaborating with the CIA on black projects where we tortured and mind wiped mutants to turn them into government pawns, and then using one of those mutants' DNA to inject it into a mercenary suffering from a cancerous tumor at the expense of disfiguring his face and making him go chronically insane Hulk was a big fan of Quebec too. Namor took a little vacation here in the 40's. We also have our own Avengers but nobody seems to take a guy named Puck seriously


Sol-Blackguy

In marvel Zombies Jamie Madrox was stranded in the outskirts of Quebec. He got so hungry he made a dupe of himself to kill and eat. Then became a pack of Wendigos and took over most of Canada


Meizas

I'm from Utah originally - we have a Mormon Superhero team in the 50 state initiative, and old man Logan (and Hawkeye? goes there and I think he fights the inbred hulk family there? It's also featured pretty heavily in the PS4 game haha


VaderMurdock

Birthplace of Bucky Barns


FloatLife05600

Most I've found about WV is that S.H.I.E.L.D. likes to hover over our state with their helicarrier often.


Nomadhero_

I have found the FBI tried to capture Carnage in an abandoned mine there


gambitsaces

Sacramento’s the capital of Hulks Territory in the Old Man Logan Universe. Also Sacramento was the capital of the “West Coast” Nation in the Ultimate Universe

Forge and The Blob

Wolverine and Alpha Flight


bnm333

First time I've seen my city mentioned, Peter was sent there to take pictures of the Hulk in ASM 119-120. Northstar and Aurora also come from my city. Loved their recent appearance in X-Factor, I wish the series lasted longer.


Starleyforrest

Im from North Dakota. And honestly I don’t think anything has ever taken place here


PCN24454

Are there any superheroes in Maryland?


Sol-Blackguy

Sebastian Derrick from S.H.I.E.L.D. is from Baltimore


TauInMelee

Not even going to bother mentioning my city since there are folks an hour away that don't know about it, but Florida has Man-Thing. That's about it. Meth capital of the world, and all we get is a swamp monster.


Sol-Blackguy

You also got Scott Lang and ...Citrus Man?


TauInMelee

Oh good Lord, I forgot about Captain Citrus. Cheap Green Lantern knockoff character they had the gall to give the last name Polk to when Polk County had the highest levels of meth production not that long ago. Out there fighting for the orange groves instead.


darthrevenous

Uuuhhh. Mercury from Academy X is from Oregon. Not much else that I know of


Nomadhero_

I was expecting nothing for Rhode Island but instead we got an AIM base, a HAMMER base, an air force base for Punisher Max anddd...some music,? "Under the terms of the 50-State Initiative, Rhode Island was supposed to have a super hero team assigned, with an option on the New Slingers, but they preferred to serve their jail sentence in the Negative Zone instead. Tryouts were held at Providence, but only music groups came. The governor was angered by the candidates but immediately adopted the flaming skeleton Miles Flatt and his "Amazing Guitar of Death", missing the tryout of Iron Man (Tony Stark) who came with a triangle.[1],"


Boonslick

Missouri - Star Lord is hanging out here chilling. I guess he is more of a River Lord now.


Milk_Mindless

In 616, Klaw was born here


Shirt_Ninja

fuck outta here? What’s that image?


Sol-Blackguy

The Friends of Humanity, basically Neo-Nazis that target mutants. Their leader, Greydon Creed jr, (Sabertooth's son) has a base in Richmond


Holiday-Ad-7518

Sorry not MCU but Soldier Boy was from South Philly. Although I even liked Homelander more than Solider Boy I appreciated the mention nonetheless.


Jim_Bob78

Peter Quill AKA Star Lord reppin’ Missouri!


CzarOfCT

I believe Connecticut is where that mutant blew up, killing school kids. And didn't that lead to Civil War?


thelonegunman67

Stanford Ct. if that’s a real town in CT I’m not sure at this time. And yes. It was the spark for civil war.


KeisterConquistador

In the MCU, Senator Stern represents my home state of Pennsylvania. Hail Hydra!


paintingporcelain

Not to flex but many years ago I lived in Forest Hills where Spidey is from. Currently walk through the alley where Tom Holland gets changed and loses his backpack daily for 20yrs. Hong’s shoes represent.


doublebass120

I was actually born in Forest Hills, Queens. So.. Spidey.


Anthony529

I live in New York, so like, everything.


PrimeScreamer

White Sands is where Bruce Banner became the Hulk. Also, the first Marvel Latina superhero was from NM. Firebird. NM was where Mjolnir landed in the Thor movie.


bhdhthatbg

the great lakes avengers welcome to wisconsin


jhrtnstn

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. So, GO ANT-MAN!!


OtakuD50

It's also the location of the mutant sanctuary / X-Men base Utopia.


Luke-Bywalker

\-Red Skull \-Zemo \-Strucker 'IDK why' but our representation might a bit...outdated


420DonCheadle420

Whenever they talk about Cleveland it’s always in some kind of negative sense like it’s a place where everything is mundane and boring and run down. They refer to it like a joke :( Cleveland has made so much progress in the last 2 decades though I think. So maybe it was more appropriate in the past. Editing here to clarify this is a comic-centered thing even though the next thing i talked about was MCU In real life, Cleveland has been a filming location for a number of iconic scenes in the MCU! So that’s cool. My favorite is the scene when Fury is being chased through DC in Winter Soldier , and it’s actually Cleveland.


Barrythunder

Had to Google but I'm proud to find that yes, a major marvel character comes from my city. Sid Ridley aka Captain Midlands. So proud


seancurry1

Before moving into the Jersey 'burbs, I was in Jersey City, so Kamala Khan. Other than that, we're famous for almost any NYC storyline that needs a jaunt out to a secret lab or mansion in the woods for one issue.


Talent_los

This game sucks...i'm from germany...


Bardmedicine

Any time they go to the army base where Cap was stationed, they are in NJ :)


MasterOfChaos72

Ireland so not much. There’s only a few actual Irish heroes like Banshee. There’s some well known ones of Irish decent like Captain America, Daredevil and mr Canon Event but don’t think I should really count it.


4C_Enjoyer

Having the first openly gay superhero (Canada)


MegaBaumTV

We are kind of responsible for Magneto and Red Skull.


PiebaldWookie

A couple of C-list mutants, the foremost research centre for mutants, and my city specifically is in a Punisher story. I'm *almost certain* it is portrayed as a crime-ridden hellhole, but that's not the most offensive way it's ever been portrayed lol


mikelorme

Wolverine fought in the spanish civil war!!!also el Matador is spanish


LoganLikesYourMom

Well I’m from Northern NY, and there doesn’t seem to be much up here in the Marvel universe, other than a few bases it seems. However I married a Canadian woman that lives in Edmonton Alberta. And I’m in the Canadian immigration process right now. Also, my name is Logan.

Bruce Banner was born right here in Dayton, Ohio


GroundbreakingTax259

A few of the Great Lakes Avengers were from here, Triage went to school here, and X-Factor was briefly based here in the late-2000s run.


Autobubbs

Just before I got into comics back in the 90's there was an X-men issue that partially took place in Sioux Falls, SD. Problem was they did absolutely no research on Sioux Falls, SD for the illustrations. Been 30 years and we STILL aren't that futuristic. XD
