Idaho stands alone in Marvel universe

| April 19, 2018 1:00 AM

When it comes to taste in superheroes, Idahoans are one in a million -- or at least one in 50.

Idaho’s preferred movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is “Guardians of the Galaxy,” according to a report from CableTV.com.

No other state named the 2014 film starring Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana as its favorite Marvel movie.

Analysts at the company reviewed Google Trends data for each Marvel movie title to determine which film generated the most online interest in each state over the past five years.

The “Iron Man” franchise led the pack, topping searches in 18 states, while “The Incredible Hulk” captured the top spot in 13 states.

Most of the remaining states were split among “The Avengers,” “Captain America,” “Spider-Man,” “Black Panther” and “Thor.”

Alaska was the lone state to name “Ant-Man” as its favorite flick. Four states were unable to choose just one, including Utah, which featured a remarkable 14-way tie among the 18 films.

The study was commissioned in advance of the release of “Avengers: Infinity War” in theaters next Friday.
