Cross-posted this to Designer News, but just wanted to share it here as well as I just finished building and deploying this morning. Ever since Marvel announced their API, I've been looking to find something to build using it. A friend of mine is big on MeteorJS, so I decided to combine the two - using Meteor, the Marvel API, and the Google Maps API, I put together this interactive map that lets you explore the world of the X-Men based around key locations in their history and the stories based there.

The fact that there's a Marvel API is amazing in itself!

Great work! Please also create this for alternate timelines, i.e. Age of Apocalypse :D
