Favorite Superhero: Where Do You Live?

A recent survey by Ranker (the folks that ranks almost everything) discovered that various States have favorite Superheroes.  For example, 'Iron Man' is very popular in Alaska, Idaho, and Pennsylvania. Why? Who knows. But if you are a cinema exhibitor this may be very valuable information. Knowing the biases of your patrons should influence what is screened and how often - perhaps even re-booking a favorite or series of favorite Superhero films.

'Spider Man' took the overall 'most popular' hero title.  The voting was opened to all Superheroes and not just those depicted in movies.  Here's the list:

Alabama: Wolverine                                     Montana: Captain America
Alaska: Iron Man                                          Nebraska: Doctor Strange
Arizona: Wolverine                                       Nevada: Punisher
Arkansas: Hulk                                              New Hampshire: Hulk  
California: Spider-Man                                  New Jersey: Spider-Man
Colorado: Gambit                                          New Mexico: Wolverine
Connecticut: Spider-Man                               New York: Captain America
Delaware: Spider-Man                                   North Carolina: Hulk
Florida: Deadpool                                          North Dakota: Spider-Man
Georgia: Thor                                                 Ohio: Captain America
Hawaii: Spider-Man                                       Oklahoma: Spider-Man
Idaho: Iron Man                                              Oregon: Wolverine
Illinois: Wolverine                                          Pennsylvania: Iron Man
Indiana: Iron Man                                           Rhode Island: Captain America
Iowa: Wolverine                                             South Carolina: Thor
Kansas: Captain America                               South Dakota: Deadpool
Kentucky: Spider-Man                                   Tennessee: Colossus
Louisiana: Spider-Man                                   Texas: Spider-Man
Maine: Deadpool                                            Utah: Deadpool
Maryland: Wolverine                                      Vermont: Hulk
Massachusetts: Spider-Man                            Virginia: Captain America
Michigan: Captain America                            Washington: Spider-Man
Minnesota: Spider-Man                                   West Virginia: Wolverine
Mississippi: Wolverine                                    Wisconsin: Hulk
Missouri: Deadpool                                         Wyoming: Wolverine

Nevada likes the 'Punisher' and Deadpool made a few best liked, once again, proving that we are definitely not a homogeneous lot. Conspicuously absent from the best-liked list were Superman and Batman.
