Lets discuss Marvel's 50 States Initiative? Why does Kansas (population 2,900,000) get Sentry while Connecticut (population 3,700,000) gets stuck with Black Widow? Seems like a raw deal for Connecticut.
Also Illinois has 12,000,000 people and all they have is Beast. How is he going to police a State more populous than Norway and Finland put together?
>>153009945>why does Kansas get Superman?
>>153010082Superman is from Kansas, it isn't his "territory" like Gotham City is for Batman.
>>153009945Like the other anon said it's a superman joke. Or there are less people around if Bob loses it.
>>153009945>>153010005Connecticut and especially Illinois are shit states. They deserve nothing.
>>153009945>Falcon
>>153009945Heroes should be distributed at the same number of House of Representative members a state gets. Cali, Texas, and New York need more than Maine and Ohio.
>>153009945do they turn into huge America Chavez when they combine?
>>153009945Having She-Hulk for Idaho is just hilarious & cruel on multiple levels.
>>153009945Isn't D-Man dead? I know Whizzer's super fucking dead, dude's like 150 years old.
>>153009945>randomly dropping alien and non-American characters into any state at all>Missouri still stuck with the Whizzer
>>153009945>Spider-Man, the quintessential New York kid, isn't New York.
>>153011556Yeah, nevermind about state populations, a centenarian with a weasel blood transfusion is foot patrolling St Louis.
>"Hey Quasar, we have just the job for your cosmic awareness, infinite energy, super strength, flight, and ability to regenerate yourself from a single atom. Protecting Wisconsin."
>>153009945Nothing happens in a shithole like Kansas which is great for the Sentry since there would be nothing to trigger a reaction and cause the Sentry to have an episode.
>>153011556Not like anything ever happens in Nebraska. You could make the whole state a deep cover Hydra initiative in a Cap book and nobody'd bat an eye.
>>153009945Connecticut is the only flyover state in New England.
>>153011668>we have just the job for your cosmic awareness, infinite energy, super strength, flight, and ability to regenerate yourself from a single atomThis is the bare minimum power set required to fix Milwaukee btw
four hulks?
>Steve Rogers gets Delaware when he's Brooklyn born and raised
>>153009945>they give my state the dead flash rip offVirginia really is for virgins...
I was gonna ask why the fuck Gambit wasn't the Avenger of Louisiana until I remembered for some reason he's never been part of the group even once. Also who the fuck is Wizzer, Missouri got a raw deal
>>153009945Scott Lang doesn't own a house, he lives in an ant-hill in Florida
>>153009945Didn't every state get an entire team, not just one character?
>>153011768Alternatively, if he DOES go insane again nobody's going to miss Kansas.
Cannonball?Two Gun Kid?Jack of Hearts?And who the hell even is Marvel Boy?Might as well bring out Moon Knight for Pueto Rico while they're at it. The Punisher for the Solomon Islands. And the Masked Marauder for the District of Columbia.
>>153012280>And who the hell even is Marvel Boy?A Morrison character who's too high concept for anyone else than Morrison to known what the fuck to do with, so he's just tossed around as a generic filler on various teams.
>>153009945>Massachusetts is stuck with the lonely cat lady that previously had drinking problems.Sounds legit.>Minnesota has the DEI AvengerPerfection.
>>153009945>Spiderman>Avenger of New HampshireWhat in the actual fuck? There isn't a more New York superhero than Spider-Man. And now all I'm going to see for the rest of the thread are /pol/tards bitching about Cage. Goddamn, I fucking hate how Marvel is run by a geriatric cunt that hates it.
>>153009945Why the fuck is Quicksilver in Virginia? Put him in Alaska or Hawaii, the dude’s super speed could actually be of decent use there.
>>153009945When you sign up to the service, you usually don't get a choice on where you are stationed.
>>153012175He's a golden age speedster with a very unfortunate name and color scheme. He's one of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch's many retcon dads. He also happens to be from Missouri and Marvel will not let it go.
>>153009945>Lets discuss Marvel's 50 States Initiative?This isn't the 50 State Initiative, these are variant covers for US Avengers, a short-lived book that happened at least 5 years after the 50 State Initiative had ceased to be a thing. The Avengers these covers assigned to each state often had a tenuous connection, or even no connection at all, but they were just covers, those heroes weren't actually assigned to work in those states in any actual story.
>>153009945USAgent getting jumped in the streets of Atlanta!USAgent having to run away scared!USAgent fleeing to the coast!USAgent getting jumped in Savannah!
>>153013330this, OP you goofed upand no one else in the thread is saving it
Always wondered why supervillains don't outsource their operations to random plains or midwestern states like Iowa, Nebraska or the Dakotas where there aren't any notable heroes
>>153009945This is fucking retarded
>>153009945>Quicksilver>Strangely always late when there's trouble in Minority neighborhoods
These covers aren’t related to the Initiative, they’re just kinda random for the most part. I think the gimmick was for USAvengers
Some get to be from their home state like Quasar or Spectrum, but others lose out. Having dead people is probably a bad idea.
>>153009945Because Sentry is a big fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and roots for the Royals in baseball.
Didn't Squirrel Girl join the 50 State thing? Was she replaced?
>>153014895OP’s image has nothing to do with the 50-State initiative. Squirrel Girl was a part of the U.S.Avengers, which OP’s image is compiling variant covers of.
>>153009945Carol is the only one that makes sense because Danvers is a town in Mass. Strange should have been Rhode Island given it’s where Lovecraft was from.Sunspot should have been California or Florida.
>>153012385>too high conceptHe's a Kree from an alternate universe fighting an evil company from an alternate universe. His personality is the "I am euphoric" meme and is written to be smarter than everyone else in the comic by way of everyone else in the comic being written as a retard.
>>153012175>for some reasonHe's a mugga who mugged out of it.
>>153013343Tell me you work for Marvel without telling me you work for Marvel.
>>153014872Both of those teams are in Kansas City, Missouri. Though the Chiefs are moving. Kansas City, Kansas is a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri. Nine times out of ten, whenever anyone brings up Kansas City they're referring to KC, Missouri which predates Kansas state.
>>153015211Strange is actually from Pennsylvania, though. Philadelphia if you want to be specific.
It's kind of weird when you think about characters' hometowns. They really come from all over the place, but most of them move to New York.
>>153016388NYC is the only place in the world that matters.
You could make a Great Lakes Avengers team consisting of Quasar, Tigra, Beast, Moon Knight, and Winter Soldier going by birth places.
>>153015211>Carol is the only one that makes senseAll of the following are given their home state:>US Agent>Hawkeye>Ant-Man (Scott Lang version)>Captain Marvel>Spectrum>Winter Soldier>Cannonball>Whizzer>Doctor Strange>Nova>Beast>Luke Cage>Rogue>Ms Marvel>Havok>QuasarIron Man, Hellcat, Hulk, Thor, Firebird and Vision all got placed somewhere they'd once lived or worked in, Vision's Washington DC cover isn't in OP's pic.Most of the rest are largely random, but as already noted Sentry is an obvious Superman gag.
>She Hulk gets CaliforniaWould’ve liked Werewolf by Night but she’s cool too
>>153009945>Classified as a mutant, Sunspot possesses the ability to absorb and channel solar power into physical strength>send him to OregonAre they actually retarded over there?
>>153009945What the fuck is Black Widow going to do in CT? Honestly I would prefer Frank. Drop him in Bridgeport and just let him go to town.
>>153012144First Avenger in the first state, geddit?
>>153017457We'd all prefer Frank.
>>153012280>And who the hell even is Marvel Boy?the guy that was gay with hercules in GotG a few years ago
>>153013330hellcat was assigned to alaska, even had a 5 issue mini
>>153009945If anything Virginia should be the one with Black Widow because it's Glowie Central.
>>153009945>Luke Cage, out of all of them, representing NY>Not Spider-Man
>>153016827GLA is mr immortal, door man, flat man, bertha, leather boy & squirrel girl
>>153017813Probably should revert back to the original setup with Dinah Soar instead.
>>153017897x-statix vs gla crossover event should be a thing
>>153009945I only care about kamala
>>153009945Kinda jealous burgers get this shit. All we ever get is fucking London, I wanna see the superheroes of Rutland and East Lothian.
>>153009945>West Virginia>state has reported the most cryptids in the last 200 years at a near 4 to one ratio >doesn't get Dr. Strange >goes to Pennsylvania >The state that is know as the "Keystone State," holding the Union together>most of the patriotic choices go to states know for food, farming and/or tax evasion polices Holy shit this feels like a AI or 3rd worlder threw this together.
>>153017457should've got Speedball
>>153009945Shouldn't Tigra go to a state with lots of Furries? Like Washington, or North Carolina? Really why did they pick who they picked with half of these? Almost feels like they were trying to mock certain states. Wizzer? Fucking Wizzer? Did Missouri hurt someone's feelings in the Marvel's office?
>>153019794>Who shall be the Avenger for Wigtownshire?Shut up
>>153010082So this is just full on low brow arty farty shit? Wow. Some wonder why no one reads Marvel.
>>153011768>>153012223Eastern Kansas has some of the wealthiest and safest towns in the entire United States, like mcmansion central, with the white population being German, Irish, and Scandinavian descendants. The other 80% is farmland with nothing but crops and cows.It's the opposite of a shithole.
>>153016106Those teams are both moving to Kansas because Missouri is actually a crime ridden shithole.No one in the chiefs or royals live in Missouri.This is just one town in Kansas, there are at least 4 more at this level.https://youtu.be/X71_fW2zS2g?si=MoFF3vs7bIE2vHX4
>>153009945Why is Doctor Strange PA? Is it because of Silent Hill? It’s because of Silent Hill isn’t it.
>>153020447>>153020467Read.In other words, we don't want Sentry here.
>>153017506Been searching for this gif for years again, thanks for reposting king
>>153019855>>153020475Dr. Strange was born and raised in Pennsylvania, that is literally all there is to his placement. Same goes for USAgent, Hawkeye, Cannonball, Rogue, etc.
>>153009945I'm guessing all Red States got jobbers?
>>153020447It's always funny how Kansans brag about how fucking empty Kansas is. Nothing to see, nothing to do, no one to talk to, but isn't agriculture so profitable? Kansas fucking sucks.
>>153021387You could always use your eyes and look.
>>153020447So it's shithole where nothing happens there. Perfect place for a mentally unstable Sentry.
>>153021888No.
