By Odin’s Beard! Great Hera! Holy Moley!
However you want to say it, one thing is clear: It’s time to get excited, because we’ve created the map of all maps, the Kryptonite to any studied cartographer; the Jane to any Thor; and the absolute self-absorption to Iron Man.
In short, this map will be the downfall of all others that have come before or will come after it (as foretold in the Book of Oa, of course).
That’s because this map of the most popular superheroes in each state was created with science, so you know it’s definitive.
But just like the fact that Lois Lane miraculously survives a Kryptonian laser blast in Man of Steel, we think this all needs some extra explanation. So let’s take a closer look at how we created this map.

But just like the fact that Lois Lane miraculously survives a Kryptonian laser blast in Man of Steel, we think this all needs some extra explanation. So let’s take a closer look at how we created this map.
How We Made These Maps
Just as we mentioned above, we used the magic of science (which, as Thor would tell you, are one in the same), to create this awesome map.
Basically, we researched the number of Facebook users in each state who have Liked each of the most popular superheroes. That elite list includes:
After that, we put the data into a spreadsheet, did some number crunching, and BAM! we came up with this map. But why did we do it? It is our gift. It is our curse. Who are we? We’re the Movoto Real Estate Blog, and we like to make awesome stuff like this. Oh, and we sell houses too.
But more on that later. First, let’s take a look at each of these 10 superheroes and where in the U.S. they were most Liked, starting with the most popular of them all, Green Lantern.
No, we’re just messing with you. It’s Batman, of course.
1. Batman
The clear winner in this battle of superheroes, Batman was the most Liked in not just a majority of states, but every single one of them. Every one of them!
Out of the millions of Batman fans, the three states that had the very most of them—i.e., the highest percentage of their populations Liked Batman—were Utah with 3.11 percent, Nevada with 2.96 percent, and New Mexico with 2.82 percent. Holy Facebook Likes, Batman. That’s a lot.

2. Iron Man
The superhero who was the next best Liked was Iron Man—though don’t tell him that. This self admitted textbook narcissist would only deign to be No. 1.
Well, at least he was close to No. 1 in a few states where he had a high percentage of Likes. In Utah, Alaska, and Nevada the genius playboy billionaire philanthropist was Liked by 2.61, 2.51, and 2.07 percent of the populations, respectively.

3. Superman
It seems as though Facebook outreach is Superman’s real Kryptonite—this Man of Steel was not best Liked in any of the states (but hey, at least he’s no Green Lantern…).
Where Superman was at least marginally more popular, though, was Utah, Nevada, and Alaska, with 1.66, 1.63, and 1.61 percent of their populations Liking Superman.
If your super-senses are detecting a pattern here, you’re right. It seems as though Utah, Nevada, Alaska, and New Mexico are just super into superheroes; they’re going to pop up more times than Lois Lane rebuffs Clark Kent, all the while pining for…Clark Kent.

4. Spider-Man
Uh oh. Our Spider-sense is tingling, and it could only mean one thing…Spider-Man’s mad. And why wouldn’t he be? He’s been ousted from the top spot on our list by Batman, Superman, and perhaps worst of all, Iron Man (a fellow Marvel character—you just can’t trust anyone these days).
But he was at least more popular in some states than not: In Nevada he had 1.11 percent of the population’s Likes, in New York, 1.03, and in New Mexico, .97.

5. Thor
By Odin’s Beard! Thor really dropped the hammer with this whole Facebook outreach thing—maybe he should have shared more cat videos. As it is, though, Thor isn’t the most popular in any state, but he did garner more Likes in some states more than others.
In Nebraska, for example, 1.10 percent of the population Liked Thor. In Utah, 1.09 percent Liked him, and in Alaska, 1.07 percent.
On the other end of the spectrum, just .42 percent of folks in Mississippi Liked Thor. Sounds like it’s time to bring the thunder.

6. Hulk
It is no wonder that Hulk smash. We mean, look at this: he’s less popular than a guy who’s part spider and a dude whose only superpower is in his outfit (just kidding, Tony Stark, WE LOVE YOU).
Hulk was more popular in Nevada, Arizona, and Alaska than in other states, and he was least Liked in the South, in Mississippi and Louisiana. I guess he just doesn’t fit well with Southern hospitality.

7. Captain America
Captain America may have been the First Avenger, but that doesn’t mean that he was first in the hearts of Americans, at least on Facebook.
Out of all the states, though, the ones where he was more Liked were Utah, Nevada, New York, Arizona, and California; and the ones where he was least appreciated were Mississippi, Alabama, and Minnesota, where clearly they just hate America. (That’s totally sarcasm).

8. Wolverine
Alright, bub. Wolverine may not have been the most Liked in any of the states, but he was pretty popular in a few of them.
In Michigan, for example, he ripped it up, with 1.23 percent of the population Liking him (maybe a certain school might want to ask him to be their mascot?). He was also pretty popular in Ohio, with .31 percent and Arkansas, with .21 percent.
Maybe it’s because he’s Canadian?

9. Wonder Woman
Perhaps Wonder Woman is just more popular back home in Themyscira, but here in the states, she’s just not the best Liked. (Sorry to be honest; it’s this golden lasso!)
In Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Texas, and Arizona, though, she was more Liked than in other states, ranging from .56 percent of the population to .50 percent.
On the other end of the spectrum, just .27 percent of New Hampshire residents Liked Wonder Woman. At least she’s not as bad off as Green Lantern.
Speaking of which…

10. Green Lantern
We guess the best thing that can be said about Green Lantern is that he’s still one of the 10 most Liked superheroes on Facebook, even if he falls at the bottom of the list.
If you’re looking for the worst things that can be said about Green Lantern, well, just look at the reviews of his last movie.
There were some states that Liked this superhero, at least a little, though. In Indiana, for example, .31 percent of residents Liked him on Facebook. This was closely followed by Alaska and Nevada where .27 percent of residents Liked him.
He may not be Batman, but hey, at least he’s no Plastic Man.
