>Company introduces a new hero >They put them in the same fucking setting as every other hero (ex: New York) >repeat ad infinitum >setting is so fucking crowded by heroes at this point that there's no reason for there to be any crime at all >keep putting new heroes in that same location because writing anywhere else is too hard
Why is this still a thing?
Logan White
Are there any heros in Los Angeles?
Henry Phillips
99% of superheroes are American and based in America. Is the rest of the world so crime free that the USA can't spare a few?
I challenge you to name me an Australian Superhero. >hard mode: name an indian superhero >harder mode: name a welsh superhero
John Ramirez
Because NewYorkers are so damn proud they'll eat any piece of shit that makes them look good
John Rodriguez
as someone from the midwest, I think we only have Flatman and company?
Xavier Miller
You tell me.
Jackson Roberts
Wolfspider and Pixy for Australia and Wales respectively.
I'm stumped for India though, so you win.
Asher Bell
>I challenge you to name me an Australian Superhero.
Tasmanian Devil. He was in the JLA, quite a big deal!
Colton Foster
>Company You could have just said Marvel.
Though DC still puts most new characters in Gotham or something, and the late 70's saw them putting a lot of new characters in New York because all of the writers wanted to copy Spider-Man.
Jaxson Nguyen
Not exactly a hero but Captain Boomerang motherfucker.
Connor Torres
In the South, Only Superheros and Villains are your standard one-note regional stereotypes, or racism/confederacy related.
Oh, and I guess Gambit... and Man-Thing? Gambit 'might' count under the stereotypes though.
I figure it's just that the industry was based around New York for so long.
Would be interesting if Superman had never left the American Heartland. Unlike heros like Spiderman or Batman he isn't really limited to 'Muh tall buildings.'
Brayden Green
I would have but I didn't know enough about DC other than they still threw people into NY, Metropolis and Gotham though not as much as Marvel just throws people into NYC because they're lazy
Luke Ward
>In the South, Only Superheros and Villains are your standard one-note regional stereotypes, or racism/confederacy related.
Not entirely. The few books that have taken place in Texas just show it as hot and humid as shit which is entirely true.
Blake Morgan
>hard mode: name an indian superhero Indian Spider-Man?
Jeremiah Brown
Basically EVERYONE in Marvel goes to NYC. Probably because they have to so they can be in cross overs or be on one of the seventeen Avengers teams. I know Kamala is Jersey but that's not exactly far. Scarlet Spider by Yost was in my home of Texas which I really liked.
Most recent character I can remember in DC was Blue Beetle III who was in New Mexico I think? One of the cactus states.
I liked when JLI made some Russian anti-super forces, and when Morrison made Chinese and Japanese super teams. The Great Ten of China especially show up all over the place. Excellent characters. The Japanese ones are pretty cringe inducing though, your basic lazy anime trope heroes. Mecha, kaiju, ninja, samurai, Pikachu, Kamen Rider and magical girl.
Gabriel Morris

El Paso, Texas.
Logan Morris
Well how many of those heroes actually go out of their way to stop like simple muggings? Most of them don't bother with anything less than a Bank Robbery+Hostages not to mention that the universe is violently collapsing into itself every other week.
Jose Gutierrez
All-New Ghost Rider, but he's in comics limbo atm.
Kevin Evans
I wanna say Living Lightning was also from Los Angelos. He was in that area at least during the WACO days.
Eli Williams
>Texas >the south
Jack Gutierrez
Literally the Southmost state in the contiguous US/
Angel Campbell
I want a superhero who works exclusively in flyover states. I want Idahoman.
Oliver Jenkins
I want a hero that has no hometown or city. A hero that goes where he or she is needed at the time to save the day. There are never locked down in one place.
Liam Bennett
Not a hero at all but I think Gabriel lives there
Anthony Lopez
Mr terrific
Constantine for a while but hes not really a hero
Nolan Lee
Constantine? I just watched the movie for the first time last night, any recommended comics?
Grayson Mitchell
The original hellblazer and the dcyou series are pretty good the new 52 in between was pretty crap.
Kevin Cook
It's harder to shoein liberal PC bullshit otherwise
Lincoln Smith
>Probably because they have to so they can be in cross overs or be on one of the seventeen Avengers teams. The sad thing is how this is not at all an exaggeration. Why the fuck are there so many branches of Avengers?
