The Winter Soldier is a Hoosier
By Yuri Duncan • Jan 26th, 2009 • Category: Super IffyAt some point I thought it would be a good idea to go through each issue of The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (first series, 1983-84) and create a spreadsheet listing all of the birthplaces of these characters. Wy would I do this? Maybe it was all in the name of “Marvel Science”, or maybe I just wanted to see how deep my rabbit hole of geekdom goes. Regardless of my motivation…BEHOLD!!!
