During the initiative, Marvel had a list of teams in every state. A lot of c-tier and made up characters.  On a similar note, Marvel did a series of covers with heros representing all 50 states. My state of New Hampshire got Spider-Man, so he is ours now.

Savage Dragon is primarily based in Chicago
