Great work! I saw your map on The Next Web [1], so it looks like you're already getting some good press. My first thought was this map reminded me of Cerebro, so I expected to be able to find individual characters too. That could be a nice next step. And after that, maybe some map overlays to show the geographic distribution and progression of various Marvel Universe events. Then ? And finally, profit!

I like the idea of individual characters, I could see having locations with different colored markers for their origins/birthplace. That wouldn't be super super difficult to build out, either, as there's a lot of information there to pull from.
Someone else in another comment suggested doing locations based on events/alternate timelines, which sounds pretty similar to this idea, and also could be very cool. Just a matter of doing research - the Marvel API is great for single data points (i.e. character, series, single comic), but gets super overwhelming (and a little useless for this kind of thing) when you search for an event or the like. But yeah, definitely doable as a Phase II kind of thing.
