User blog:ARTaylor/January 2016 Poll Results

February is here and the January poll results are in. Last month we asked which Marvel location you would like to visit. While almost every choice got a vote, there was one clear winner.




 * 1) Coming in first with 40% of the votes was Asgard, the realm eternal and home of mighty Thor. Home of the gods and ruled by Odin, it is considered the most beautiful of the nine realms. Though there is the occasional attack by frost giants. Asgard has been a major part of Thor's appearances, having been the setting to Hulk vs Thor and Thor: Tales of Asgard while a recurring location for The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
 * 2) A tie for second place with 15% were Atlantis and Wakanda. One is ruled by Namor while the other by T'Challa. Both are generally peaceful though Atlantis faces takeovers while Wakanda deals with attacks. Atlantis hasn't been seen much, due to Namor's few significant appearances. Wakanda, like Asgard, appears whenever Black Panther does. It was significant in Ultimate Avengers II and Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
 * 3) In third place is Genosha. It's checkered past makes it an iffy vacation spot. Once the center of mutant enslavement, then the center of a mutant haven ruled by Magneto, it now exists as a pile of rubble following a Sentinel attack. It made a few appearances on X-Men where the people enslaved mutants. It was a major plot point in Wolverine and the X-Men where Magneto ruled over it.
 * 4) Getting 5% each were Attilan, Latveria, Muir Island, and the Savage Land. Attilan, home to the Inhumans, is a fine place to live if you can keep track of where it is. Muir Island is mostly quiet though it only has one small research station. Latveria is a great place to go if you're in good with the dictator, Doctor Doom. Savage Land is beautiful to look at if you don't mind dinosaurs and mutates. Attilan appears with the Inhumans, who have only recently began making regular appearances. Latveria always comes with Doctor Doom but hardly ever explored in too much detail. Muir Island made significant appearances on X-Men but has otherwise disappeared from other media. Savage Land was also a major part of X-Men and is now seeing occasional appearances in the current shows.
 * 5) Receiving no love were Knowhere and Madripoor. The decapitated head of a celestial is probably too difficult to get too, while Madripoor doesn't have the best reputation. Knowhere is relatively new to Marvel fans but made a big appearance on Guardians of the Galaxy. Madripoor is also somewhat obscure only making brief appearances on Marvel Anime: Wolverine and Ultimate Spider-Man.
