OREGON
Type: Region: Oregon state, United States of America.
Environment: Oregon contains a variety of regions. The Pacific Ocean coast of Oregon is usually either sandy beaches or rugged cliff face (the latter mostly in mid to southern Oregon). East of the coast is the densely forested Coast Range, and east of that are heavily farmed and settled valleys (the northern end is the Willamette Valley) which hold most of the state's population (this area is occasionally referred to as the I-5 corridor). East of that are the Cascade Mountains, and crossing those moves you from wet climates to the much drier "inland northwest"; this area is mostly high desert.
Unique features of the state include the high peaks of the Cascade Range (notably Mount Hood and Mount Mazama (Crater Lake National Park)). The Columbia River Gorge is noted for the majestic waterfalls plummeting into it as it cuts through the Cascade Range, and for its enormous dams. The Snake River Gorge on the Idaho/Oregon border is deep and fairly inaccessible. Oregon is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west, Washington to the north, Idaho to the east, and Nevada and California to the south.

History:
(Marvel Mystery Comics I#23) - In northern Oregon, two miles outside a small town on a highway, Professor Dorn acquired a large mansion/castle near the state prison and walled it inside an electrified steel fence. He was aided by his assistant, Ramon Valerez, and local girl Mona Lake (who would later claim Dorn mind-controlled her, though the truth of this is unclear. The team experimented in transforming kidnapped convicts into underwater dwellers and mind-controlling them. When Namor, the Sub-Mariner, drove his home-made "jeep" car from Salt Lake City to northern Oregon, he stopped at a small town for gas and encountered Dorn and decided to investigate. Namor uncovered Dorn's plots and fought with him and his water-dwelling slaves, but in the end the mansion's self-destruct was accidentally triggered. Namor and Mona successfully fled the exploding mansion, while Dorn, Valerez, and the altered slaves were apparently killed.
(Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe #6) - Cassandra (maiden name unknown, subsequent married name Cassandra Webb, aka Madame Web) was born in Salem, OR.
(Spider-Man: Back in Black Handbook#1) - River Verys (later Tendril) was born in Klamath Falls, OR.
(Spider-Man: The Final Adventure#3) - River Verys' parents moved with him to Portland, OR, and his mother Janet died from an overdose there when he was two. As his father was also a junkie, Verys was raised in a string of Portland area foster homes. As a teen, he'd been arrested for armed robbery on the Steel Bridge.
(All New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z I#10) - Rita Wayworth (later Ricochet Rita, then Spiral) was born in Corvallis, OR.
(All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z I#10) - Charlotte Witter (later a Spider-Woman) was born in Sublimity, OR.
(New X-Men: Academy X Yearbook#1) - Cessily Kincaid (later Mercury) was born in Portland, OR.
(Silver Surfer I#5) - The Silver Surfer fell out of the sky, and was cared for by physicist Al B. Harper. Harper offered to help the Surfer breach the cosmic barrier which bound him to Earth; needing money to proceed, the Surfer disguised himself, went into town [apparently Portland - see Comments], and broke into a First National Bank. He considered robbing it but ultimately changed his mind, instead making the money by gambling against criminals, and gave half his winning to an ex-gambler in need who tried to help him. Harper built what the Surfer needed, but he soon returned form his attempt to breach the barrier to warn Harper of a plot by the Stranger to destroy Earth. The police laughed Harper off; he built a device to locate the bomb himself. While the Surfer and the Stranger fought downtown, Al located the bomb and disarmed it, sacrificing his own life to do so. The Stranger departed, and the Surfer had Al buried in a local graveyard, marking the grave with an eternal cosmic flame.
(Mighty Avengers: Most Wanted Files#1 / Secret War #2) - Daisy Johnson, under the name Cory Sutter, was raised in Portland, OR by her adoptive parents. She grew into a rebellious teenager, and despite a high IQ she began failing out of school. Her mutant powers first manifested at age 17 after she was caught shoplifting in Portland, causing a 3.2 magnitude earthquake.
(Mighty Avengers I#13 (fb)) - Nick Fury revealed Daisy Johnson's true parentage to her, and recruited her to join SHIELD and invade Latveria before she even finished high school.
(Sub-Mariner II#3 (fb) - BTS) - Atlantis' Prince Namor placed 12 sleeper cells of Atlantean agents in the continental United States. One of these cells was placed in the mid-Willamette Valley, in or near Salem.
(Amazing Spider-Man I#258 (fb) / Amazing Spider-Man I#292 -BTS (fb)) - Philip Watson, father of Mary Jane Watson, moved to Oregon (likely to a small-college position teaching English) when Mary Jane was a teenager. He never answered her letters, and apparently did not stay in Oregon long.
(Defenders I#67) - The Hulk was in deep Oregon woods when soldiers attacked him. He dived into a river and went over a waterfall, after which he irately attacked the soldiers. However, Hela the Norse death goddess intervened, and the Hulk "died," falling unseen into a ravine. (Note: obviously, his life was later restored; the soldiers never found his body).
(Captain America I#337 - BTS) - The Captain, D-Man, Falcon, Nomad, and Vagabond drove south from Washington state to the Portland airport, where they rented a private airplane and flew to Las Vegas.
(Thor Annual#15 / All-New Iron Manual#1) - Iron Man brought a wounded Machine Man to a Stark Enterprises plant in Portland to be repaired. During this time, a number of Terminii traveled south from the Seattle area to California's San Fernando Valley, but only did minimal damage in Oregon.
(X-Factor I#102 - BTS (fb)) - On August 12th, Random apprehended serial killer John Wayne Fillmore in Portland, breaking Fillmore's leg in the process. Random collected a $10,000 reward.
(Namor I#26) - An amnesiac Namor (the Sub-Mariner) ended up on the west coast, in a once mining-rich area now being heavily logged. After a logger (Will) was killed when his chainsaw kicked back after hitting a spiked tree, his compatriots (Coogan and others) accused the coincidentally passing-by Namor, and assaulted him. Namor ended up seriously injured and in the custody of Sheriff Chance Walker and his deputy, Jimmy (the town's name was never given, but it was near one named Pine Ridge, where an asylum existed). Namor befriended the Shreiff's daughter, Tess, but with no physical evidence connecting him to the spiking, he was released, and stayed with her. When a giant logging machine attacked the Sheriff's office, Namor charged to Walker's defense.
(Namor I#27) - After rescuing the Sheriff and stopping the machine, Namor was treated with distrust and suspicion by the locals (excepting Tess). Namor's cousin Namorita came to find her cousin, but Namor didn't recognize her, and fled.
(Namor I#28) - After a group of protestors came after Namor, Tess intervened, protecting him. Tess and Namor joined the protestors in attacking the Oracle-owned logging camp, and a large melee broke out there. After several on both sides were killed, Namor rebelled and unmasked the leader, who turned out to be Tess, playing both sides against each other. The camp's power source exploded, dumping Namor and Tess off a cliff into the sea.
(Namor I#29) - Namor was carried away from the wreckage by a blue-skinned woman. Namorita took Tess' corpse from the waters and returned it to her father, revealing the truth of the night's events; she departed soon thereafter, and discovered that an Oracle executive had been funding Tess' activities.
(Death's Head II II#1) - Death's Head and Tuck came to Paxton, OR, and rented or purchased an office in a saloon. They brought with them an artifact called the Sapphire Lotus, and its presence began calling superhumans to it. On one day, Kite, Wraithchilde, and Sunny and Barb, plus numerous unidentified others; Death's Head defeated those who attacked him. However, the X-Men also detected the Lotus' power, and traveled to Paxton and attacked Death's Head.
(Death's Head II II#2) - While the X-Men (Beast, Cyclops, Gambit, Jubilee, Psylocke, Rogue, Wolverine) and Death's Head fought, the Wraithchilde reached Tock and the two teleported away to Chicage. Eventually Death's Haad and the X-Men realized they had no reason to fight, and flew to Chicago together Men's vehicle. Others who had been attracted to Paxton left as well, drawn by foot (Kite) or car (Sunny & Barb) eastwards towards Illinois.
(Avengers West Coast Annual#8) - After being driven from their Coit Tower (San Francisco) headquarters, Ultron and Alkema moved to a hidden base in the forests of northern Oregon. When Ultron's plot to activate dozens of west coast volcanoes was disrupted by a device failing at Washington's Mt. St. Helens, he and Alkema departed Oregon for that site.
(Fantastic Four Unlimited I#7) - Cal Johnson and his mother live in Oregon. Cal once flew to NYC to see the opening of his father's (Frank Johnson) Museum of the Monstrous and Strange.
(Spider-Man: The Final Adventure#3) - Dr. Monica Staphos of GARID (Galannan Alternative Research for Immunization Development) conducted experiments using necrotizing fascitis (flesh-eating bacteria) victims. One subject, Paul Contoni mutated into a form resembling a humanoid sentient mass of brown leaves; Contoni eventually left (after his wife Sheryl and son Michael abandonded him) and went into seclusion.
(Spider-Man: The Final Adventure#1) - Two years after Staphos' work on Paul Contoni, Peter Parker left New York City to take a job with GARID (not coincidentally the company which had sponsored the experiment that irradiated the spider which made Parker Spider-Man). He and his pregnant wife Mary Jane were in Portland for just one week before he started at GARID (during which time they acquired an apartment in an 11 story building in the downtown area, and began Lamaze classes at Good Samaritan Hospital), and after two weeks there he uncovered research they'd been doing with a necrotizing fascitis (flesh-eating bacteria) on convicted felons. Monica Staphos was concealing the full extent of what she'd been doing, unbeknownst to Peter's and her boss, Chief Operating Officer Dr. Eric Schwinner. Calvin "Cal" Falconer, GARID head of security, found himself in trouble when Bill Galannan (son of the company's founder and director of media relations) discovered her work on subject River Verys; Schwinner ordered her to cease but she hijacked Peter's work and injected it into Verys, who mutated into a spider-form and killed Joey Klein and another guard, Jeff.
(Spider-Man: The Final Adventure#2) - Verys fled the facility, killing Dr. Staphos as well, and over the next week abducted three people in town: Paula Khourri (near Skidmore Fountain), Biff Nostrell (in old Chinatown), and Gene Byrne (outside Greenberg's Bar between Stark and Oak). Galannan kept Verys existence a secret and tried to track him on their own. Parker also investigated as Spider-Man. Falconer located Verys beneath the Steel Bridge, where he'd coccooned his now-dead victims, and after a fight between Verys, Spider-Man, Galannan forces, and the police, Verys (dubbed Tendril by the media) escaped. Local news media (led by TV newsman Derek Kelleher) caught footage of Spider-Man's involvement.
(Spider-Man: The Final Adventure#3) - Cal Falconer took Peter on a four hour drive into the forests to introduce him to Paul Contoni (a.k.a. Dryrot) in hopes of helping him unravel and reverse what had been done to Verys. Contoni drove the pair away, and Peter returned that night as Spide-Man, convincing Contoni to come to Galannan. With Contoni as a base, Parker and Schwinner developed a cure for him and Verys. Meanwhile, Verys kidnapped yet another woman off the streets.
(Spider-Man: The Final Adventure#4) - Verys had holed up insie the Governor Hotel, and Parker tracked him there. Spider-Man rescued his latest victim (though the hotel room's resident, a Mr. Forbes, was long dead). Spider-Man, joined by Contoni, confronted Verys, and Parker used their new cure to briefly quell Verys' and Contoni's powers. Taken back to Galannan, Verys resisted the cure so severely that it killed him and Contoni was restored to humanity, though Parker apparently lost his spider-powers in the process. He and Mary Jane remained in Portland, and Peter occasionally helped at a "St. Peter's Homeless Shelter."
(Spider-Man Team-Up I#2) - Thanos teleported Ben Reilly (Spider-Man) and the Silver Surfer to Al B. Harper's grave, located in a graveyard on a bluff near a body of water. The pair paid brief tribute to Harper before leaving.
(Spider-Man #66) - When J. Jonah Jameson called Peter Parker in Portland, offering him money to return and take Spider-Man photographs, Peter and Mary Jane returned to New York the next day.
(Silver Surfer III#123) - An emotionally wounded Silver Surfer returned to Al B. Harper's grave and doused the eternal flame, wondering how he could have ever cared that much. The extra-terrestrial Bounty tracked Surfer here, and followed him east.
(X-Force I#79) - The heavily-defended headquarters of the Damocles Foundation lies outside Portland, Oregon. Dr. Segismund A. Joshua removed a Molecular Disruptor from their armory, and took it to Las vegas to confront Reignfire in Las Vegas, asking his compatriot Dr. Chandra to inform the Director that he was talking some personal time.
(Thunderbolts I#63) - Fugitives Hawkeye, Headlok, Plantman, and Cottonmouth traveled by car through Oregon state. They traveled from Kalispell (MT) to Portland (OR) and then to Tacoma (WA).
(Wolverine III#7) - ATF agent Cassie Lathrop visied Sycamore Blaine in his Portland guns & ammo shop "My Cold, Dead Hand." The shop was located in an industrial district. Blaine and Logan (Wolverine) had served together in Vietnam, and Lathrop was seeking information on the mutant.
(Amazing Fantasy II#13) - Vegas, after a long overnight motorcycle ride from Spokane, WA, stopped at an Eastern Oregon convenience store somewhere south of Baker. Someone attempted to rob the store and Vegas stopped them, heading out afterwards for Texas, before the police arrived. (Mighty Avengers I#1) - Iron Man received reports of unusual volcanic activity in Oregon. (Note: this was caused by Ultron, and with the Avengers subequent defeat of him in NYC this presumably subsided.) (Mighty Avengers I#13 (fb)) - In Portland's Mt. Tabor Park, a disguised Nick Fury approached 18 year-old Daisy Johnson, who had been forced out of SHIELD. He recruited her, and subsequently other teens, to aid him against an upcoming Skrull invasion. (Sub-Mariner II#3) - In New York state, Professor Xavier, using Cerebro, detected the presence of the Atlantean sleeper cell in the mid-Willamette Valley, in or near Salem. (Howard the Duck IV#3) - Two patrons in the Portland restaurant the Spotted Ram debated political issues involving Howard the Duck and the superhero "civil war" before the discussion devolved into brawling. (Secret Invasion: Who Do You Trust?#1/5) - Invading Skrulls occupied Portland, spraying a pacifying gas and down aircraft at the airport. Namora killed an Alpha Flight-based Super Skrull but was captured; Gorilla Man and the Human Robot attacked the two Skrulls holding her and freed her, and the trio escaped with a captured Skrull to Marvel Boy's saucer, parked at the bottom of the Willamette River. Dissecting the Skrull, Marvel Boy developed a method by which Venus' siren song could affect the Skrulls, but she was morally incapable of killing them. James Woo ordered the Human Robot to kill the fleeing Skrulls, and the team flew north to help defend Seattle. Comments: I firmly expect that some occurences within this state have been missed - if you know of any, please contact us! In putting together a map, some value judgments were made as frequently no actual placement is given for fictional places. In most cases, clicking on the map entry will provide you with what is actually known about that location. Spider-Man Team-Up I#2 and Silver Surfer I#123 each place Al B. Harper's grave in the Pacific Northwest. Silver Surfer I#5 has the Surfer and Al flying over a large city which includes a large suspension bridge running out of downtown (numbered as page 28, panel 3) and across a body of water. The layout really rules out Seattle, and the bridge is wrongly placed for Tacoma. The best guess I can make is that the pictured bridge is Portland's St. Johns Bridge. Its not perfect (that area of town is not that highly developed), but its the best northwest big city match I can make. Thor Annual#15 (1990) gives us a Stark Enterprises plant in Oregon (presumably in the Willamette Valley). The 2008 All-New Iron Manual mentions a Stark plant in Portland. I assume them to be the same. Namor I#26-29 could be placed anywhere on the Oregon coast, or on elements of the mid to south Washington coast. Since Washington already had a lot of events, I've arbitrarily gone with Oregon for placement. Exactly what happened in those Spider-Man: Final Adventure stories is now kind of up in the air, what with Spider-Man making a deal with Mephisto to alter his reality. If Peter and Mary Jane were never married, did he still live with her (or even alone) in Portland? For that matter, we never really saw them decide to move there, or decide to come back. In Spectacular Spider-Man #229 (October 1995) and Spider-Man: The Parker Years (November 1995), they decide to leave NYC and move away. In Final Adventure, they're in Portland. In Spider-Man #66, they come back, and they're just back in NYC thereafter. X-Force I#79 identifies the facility shown there as the "headquarters" of the Damocles Foundation. The Damocles Foundation page on this site changes that to just being a "base" and identified something called "the Keep" as its headquarters, location unknown. As that page does not provide any citations for where the reference to "the Keep" comes from and what about it contradicts the Portland-as-headquarters reference, I've left it here as reported in the comic.
Punisher War Journal #52-53 (March-April 1993) involved the Punisher invading a camp (Valhalla) belonging to the paramilitary aryan group known as the Sword of Liberty. The camp was located in the Cascades; it was "north of the Klamath Forest," and 40 miles south of the Oregon border. As it wasn't in Oregon its not included in the list above, but it seemed close enough to be worthy of a comment here. Similarly, though unrelated, X-Force I#82 (October 1998) placed (and subsequently destroyed) the Aguilar Institute ("a research and development facility specializing in biotechnology and its military applications") in a remote part of the northern California coast near the Oregon border. The Institute may have also appeared in X-Force I#67-69; please see the entry on the Gryphon for more information. In Havok and Wolverine: Meltdown#2 (May 1989), Quark posed as Scarlett McKenzie, claiming that she came from Oregon with the Peace Corps, and served as Havok's nurse. This is only mentioned here in the Comments as its an apparently fake cover story. In the Age of Apocalypse (Earth-295), Paige Guthrie (Xorn) and her family were workers in the Portland Core during the riots before Magneto offered her a place with the X-Men. Profile by Mark O'English. CLARIFICATIONS:
The state of Oregon has no known connections to
Paxton, OR had a population of 703. It included a mini-mart, a Presbyterian mission, a bar called Grueny's, and a store called Jack's Wine Merchant. It enjoyed 320 days of sunshine a year and a zero [serious] crime rate. It was in flat terrain, with no nearby forests or even greenery. Kite is noted as hiking through acres of Oregon cornfield on the way there, but nothing says that cornfield couldn't have been many many miles away.
Death's Head and Tuck came to Paxton, bringing with them an artifact called the Sapphire Lotus, and rented or purchased an office in a saloon. On one day, Kite, Wraithchilde, and Sunny and Barb, plus at least six others and the X-Men. While wild battles between all involved went on in the center of town, Wraithchilde and Tuck telported away. The X-Men and Death's Head flew after them in the x-jet, and the other superhumans followed after as best they could.
