Don't forget all the Canadian heroes who are from (generic) Canada, which I know is a whole other country but Marvel REALLY seems to like making Canadian characters when they aren't obsessing over New York
@@QueenLizby john byrne, a very influential writer of early marvel, was Canadian and loved making characters from there. He’s also partially the reason wolverine got pushed so hard cause he loved that there was a canadian xman
That means Snapper Carr is a native. H.P. Lovecraft is, not surprisingly, a canonical Marvel character. Also of note, the first issue of the Ghost Rider spin-off/launch of the Midnight Sons line, "Spirits of Vengance" took place in Rhode Island. This was, I believe, the first appearance of Johnny Blaze's children--since they were a travelling circus, that doesn't mean they were born there, but I mean...pretty easy to retcon. Also, maybe Lilith spawned a Lillin.
Rhode islander here. My friend is starting up a marvel multiverse rpg game in the next few weeks.my charachters motivation is to be the first superhero grom rfode island. But has to do it elsewhere because rhode island doesnt want them Attracting supervillains. They havent had a local one since tje forties and intend to keep it that way
I feel like i need to correct the Big bertha joke, her power is that she can grow her body to increase her strength. Though to make the GLA edgy it was definded that she could only lose weight by belima, though and the reason i feel the need to defend her, she is now a plus sized model and since the start of their last mini series she has pretty much kept the same size. Got to defend the GLA! But aside good video was quite funny.
Not sure if this counts or is wholly accurate, but the Marvel character The Blue Ear was made because of a fan from New Hampshire and while I don’t think his birth place is listed, Blue Ear is presumably from New Hampshire.
Your passion for comics excites me! I thought I could listen to this while going to bed, and you get me here wide awake taking shots enjoying every state! Don't stop doing what you're doing bro I love it!
Your comedy continues to be top-notch. I know we sound like a broken record here, but your delivery is absolutely incredible. XD 11/10 content, as always. 💕
I’m from Waverly Iowa, which is Hawkeye’s hometown, we are a middle of nowhere rural town of like 10,000. Take that Washington, you only get the Griffin guy but my little town in the middle of bumfuck nowhere gets an Avenger
Franklin Peirce the 14th President of the United States appears as a zombie in Deadpool (volume 5) 4 where he brought to undeath and subsequently re-killed. He was born in New Hampshire so if you count being a zombie as an original character then he would be a marvel character from New Hampshire.
As an Australian, it's weird that there's practically no popular Australian Marvel heroes (only Australian superhero in general i can think of is Captain Boomerang), yet Australians play 2 of the most popular superheroes and also have a huge role in creating them (not one but 2 of our state governments are in practically all the marvel credits)
As an X-Men fan, I feel it my duty to inform you that one of the most popular eras of the original Claremont run involved the team living in the Outback as fugitives for like two years. Is it because Chris saw Mad Max and wanted to do Mad Max but in the Marvel Universe? Maybe. But it did give us some great issues and some really cool heroes like Gateway and later Manifold. Also worth mentioning that Bishop's parents are Aboriginal even if he is culturally a post-apocalyptic New Yorker. (Oh, and Pyro is an Aussie too! Not always a hero but reasonably popular!)
Okay, hear me out. Apparently, Deadpool fought a zombified version of Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the United States. Franklin Pierce is from New Hampshire. Bam! There is your Marvel character from New Hampshire.
I knew Norman Osborn was from Connecticut but I didn’t realize that Speedball was also from there. This was a neat video. Maybe you could do the same thing with DC characters in the future.
Finding out that Bulldozer of the lovable Wrecking crew isn’t just from Kansas but the town I grew up in..is just wild and unexpected but my heart goes to Gambit cause I was born Louisiana
He said hulk, he never said Bruce banner. I thought hulk was supposed to be some mythical cosmic being or something, but actually him being from Ohio makes a lot more sense.
12:05 The mascot for the University of Arkansas is the Razorbacks. It is a wild boar/pig mix that is native but not unique to the state. The U of A is the biggest college in the state and has long been its most popular to root for. And that, True Believers, is why we got a hero named Razorback.
Yeah there is a really interesting trend of Marvel not really going to the same well as cities with other popular heroes. Like you'd think there'd be Seattle heroes but I guess Green Arrow has dibs
Lol in the show, yeah. As. i show in 21:02 and then a second later at 21:03 I show it's still unconfirmed in the comics (at least according to Marvel.com which was my ultimate fact-checker, though every handbook I checked also had him unlisted)
Great concept for a video - BTW, if you need to look for other states, I recommend The original Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe and the update editions that followed in 1986 and 1989
Think the Titania from Colorado - the one we were introduced to in “Secret Wars” and is the well-known version who marries Absorbing Man - is different than the Titania who was on the pro-wrestling team. Way back in the day of the OHOTMU they were separate entries but maybe it got retconned or, heck, maybe they’re both from Colorado.
I would like to toss Elsa Bloodstone in as another blonde badass from Massachusetts who really doesn’t want anyone to know she was born in Massachusetts. Or America for that matter. Or that she’s a natural blonde. Really she doesn’t seem to want anyone to know anything about her childhood. She also shares people not knowing her original hair color with Emma.
Being from RI I’m thoroughly pissed that you got off easily by giving us a guy who was born multiple times in MULTIPLE PLACES!!!! Therefore Im only subscribing three times…
Rick was a green hulk for a few years before the grey hulk reappeared in the mid to late 80s. He apparently hit himself with gamma rays to try and turn himself into a hulk. It didn't work and he got the big c. After that, he became a part of Rom's supporting cast.
12:09 That's funny cause not only is the most popular college team in Arkansas called the razorbacks, but the high school mascot in Texarkana, Arkansas, where the character is from, are the razorbacks
Why did no one tell me you had a TH-cam channel??? Also idk if TikTok shadow banned you or sum. I never get your vids on my feed anymore. Just people that steal your content, which makes me look you up. Anyway, love from Mexico. Hope you keep growing and meet bigger success
Wisconsin is here to give its thanks to the great Mark Gruenwald, a Marvel chief editor from Oshkosk and the main reason why a decent number of Marvel characters are connected to Wisconsin. Not only do we have the Great Lakes Avengers and Quasar, Sasquatch also played for the Green Bay Packers. Gruenwald was also a big part of Marvel's New Universe which had DP7, a team that spent a surprising amount of time having adventures in Wisconsin.
Man, we got Ms.MODOK. Oh well, at least the OG New Mutants got a lot of love with both of their leaders being the headliners for their respective states.
Did not expect to get an iconic Hulk villain from Idaho. Though I'm a little distraught because he arguably is the one who looks most like a potato and I would hope that other people think we deserve better. I mean, we don't, but still.
@@Alexandervs.Thegovernment honestly there’s a lot of marvel characters that surprisingly come before who you’d think they’re ripping off. My fave is Corsair being described as “Han solo meets Jack sparrow” - 2 characters he predates
4:58 Wrong Titania. The Titania from the Grapplers is different from Mary MacPherran, the Titania who is She-Hulk's nemesis, Absorbing Man's wife, Volcana's best friend, and actually from Colorado (along with Volcana). 7:33 Bulldozer's orange, not yellow. Also, there's a Marvel hero whose superhero name IS Topeka. He was the leader of Kansas's 50 State Initiative team. I don't think his birth place has been revealed because he's so obscure, but he seems worth noting. Riri Williams (Ironheart) is from Illinois, too. It doesn't seem to be established as her birth place, but it seems a safe bet. Also, I'm glad we're not talking about the movies, because, given that, I can honestly say that Riri Williams is an awesome character! Isn't Cecilia Reyes from Puerto Rico, too. (Not sure if she was born there, though.) Oh, and Rio Morales (Miles's'esese's'ssss mom). Great video, though! I love your sense of humor. Your delivery is on point.
Thank you! The titania thing was a mistake, the Grapplers one is from Maine as well. The rest of the people you noted were either cut for time or had vague origins
Maybe someone in the Marvel offices will see this and be like ahh yes quick create a new character from New Hampshire to make this video out of date stat!

I watched the TikTok when it came out, but that's not going to stop me from watching a 23 minute version of said video.
Bro nailed the pronunciation of Hoosier
Indeed, I’m just glad we have a semi recognizable character
As a former Idahoan, the Leader being from there makes a ton of sense.
My ex is from Idaho and it makes SO much sense
You know what, I'll take Bucky. That's better than a lot of these.
not just a deep dive, incredibly and unnecessarily insightful too!

Did some research, Razorback seems fun, not as much of a bummer as thought initially. Hope you'll have a good day
I read a Spider-Man novel, years back, where Razorback helped Spidey save the day.
It's weird that the 50 State Initiative left out a state!
Didn't realize you had a TH-cam channel too, you should have so much more subs on here your videos are great 😃
it feels funny when a tiktoker yous follow randomly appears on your youtube, feels like watching a new being from a paralel timeline
Great video! Would love one on characters from countries that are not the US or made up.
I'd be willing to bet that'd only actually cover like 20-30% of the world's countries at best given how US centric comics tend to be.
I would love a made up countries version of this. But not people from space, Ideally just made up countries on earth.
I went on this to find out who was from my state then realized almost every single marvel character is from New York
nice! we get to see our favorite comic book nerd from a new angle this time!
also love the editing whom i feel is probably he's clone messing with him
This was wildly entertaining
