The Superhero Distribution Map


There's manifestly something inwards the H2O inwards New York. Something that turns ordinary men too women into superheroes. I've been analyzing the Marvel Superhero Origins map trying to move out where superheroes are close probable to born. The answer is 'New York' - probably.

Exploring the map for the distribution of superhero births reveals that to a greater extent than superheroes are born inwards too closed to New York City than anywhere else on Earth. However the Marvel Superhero Origins map has non been normalized past times population. I thus wouldn't swear that the ratio of superheroes to non-superheroes is higher inwards New York than inwards less populated locations.

My analysis of where superheroes are close probable to move born is too complicated past times the fact that some of the heroes on the Marvel Superhero Origins map weren't born superheroes. For event Spiderman is i of the superheroes mapped to New York. However nosotros all know that Peter Parker wasn't born a superhero.


Some people volition debate that it actually doesn't thing where superheroes are born equally long equally they pledge their allegiance to the U.S.A. of America. In fact Marvel themselves accept assigned i U.S. Avenger to every state.

The U.S.Avengers Map shows the Avenger superhero for every state. Each terra firma includes a map label which shows the parent of the local Avenger superhero. You tin strength out mouse-over these superhero labels to thought a painting exhibit of the state's hero. The map itself was created alongside the super Mapbox Studio. It uses 4 unlike background images to practise the comic half-tone type effect.
