Well I was born in St. Louis so I've got Duke, Storm Shadow (per some filecards) and Spearhead (who was in Kirkwood I believe, and is very close to St. Louis).

 

I know back at DDP I would fight for Storm Shadow's birthplace to be St. Louis and they'd never give it to me.

Growing up I lived near Allentown Pa, but I always hated Windmill. I was always proud that Steeler was from PA. There are some newer characters from PA now, but they were the only two while I was growing up.

I soooo miss the days of DDP, not perfect but underrated and far superior than IDW.

 

I was born in the same city as Thunder and airwave (lousiville Ky) but now i'm up in Alaska closer to Frostbite and kwin's hometown. I know lots of native Tlingits and Haida's but no Eskimos myself.

I'm about forty-five minutes away from Breaker's home town. Love it there. It's a great tourist destination. I had actually forgotten the fact that he was from there.

I grew up about 4hrs from Beachhead (Auburn, AL) & Med-Alert (Nashville, TN).

Now I'm about 4hrs from Roadblock (Biloxi, MS), Vypra (New Orleans), & possibly Gung-Ho (since Fer-de-Lance is fictional)

The closest to me would be Sci-Fi. According to Goole Maps, Geraldine, MT is about 5 hours from where I'm at.

Ditto for me! 94.7 miles. Where are you located?

I'm about an hour from Gatlinburg myself. Breaker and Flash were always my favorite from the original 13.
