Are there really no Southerners in the Avengers?

San Diego is pretty far south (as far as the continental US goes) if you think about it.

There's a big difference between the geographic south and the cultural South. I'm pretty sure Gambit was referring to the cultural South. San Diego would be the Southwest anyway.

Nope, just West. Southwest ebbs up being stuff like Arizona.

Anyone who has spent any time whatsoever in Kentucky could tell you, that while they may not have joined the Confederacy, Kentucky is firmly planted in the South.

Just ask someone from there to pronounce Louisville, and then tell me they're not Southern.

If it doesn't sound like "Lullvull" then they're not really from Kentucky.

Sweet God, my cousin says it just like that......LOL

Same with a lot of West Virginia, which is odd considering the state's history. There are some parts of the state that are more closely tied to the Rust Belt, and the eastern panhandle is almost a suburb of DC, but a vast portion of the state definitely considers itself Southern. If there were ever a rematch of the Civil War, I have no doubt which side WV would join.

Technically, Sam and Paige aren't from the South either. They are from Kentucky and it didn't join the Confederacy.

Kentucky still gets to be considered part of modern dixie.

Probably has something to do with the bluegrass history, and most importantly has been apart of the Southeastern conference since 1932.

I live in Georgia and much of my family has a strong Alabama southern draw, and I only hear my uncle from Louisville call louisville Lullvull

Doesn't mean its still not in her genealogy, how old was she when she moved?

Awsome to hear about Rome, GA in a marvel comic, grew up visiting family there pretty frequently.

Mockingbird? It's not stated, but would seem to be about the time she went to college or just before. Her attitudes and values are pretty much liberal, modern & independent feminism, though. I'm afraid I don't know enough about specific regional attitudes in the US, but she doesn't seem to fit in with an "archetypal" southern mindset.
