Where is Smallville and Where is Metropolis on the Map?

So where would you say Fawcett City is then?   I just had to ask.

Wisconsin  :wink:

Actuallly Fawcet City is the home of Charlie's Angles (urban fishermen/crime fighters) and Ivory City is the home of Bath-Man.

According to that map it was next to Gary Indiana.

Fawcett City's mayor might be Farrah but still. And Lee Major's Bionics are yesterday's news.

Yeah, I'll say it was next to Gary on that map---right about where *my* real-life hometown sits ;-)

So guessing my DC Universe counterpart's hometown (in real life just a small town; the town next door might make for a good "Smallville") is just some suburb of Fawcett, and that Johnny Nevada has to deal with telepathic worms attacking left and right? (And it's *all* only 40-50 miles from Chicago, a huge city, no less...). ;-)

Think I like the Wisconsin location better (re: "Power of Shazam!"'s references about Fawcett's location, which fit there more than the Hoosier state)... wonder what yahoo thought up Indiana (especially northwestern Indiana, which is already part of the Chicago area anyway...) as Fawcett's new location anyway . ;-p

Never mind. Your map was helpful. It has Fawcett City somewhere near Gary Indiana on Lake Michigan. This map though,
mentions Leesburg Virginia which would be a few short miles to the northwest of Elmond. The city I think it meant it was trying to say was Lynchburg. Something about it just didn't seem right.

I think the DCU Atlas book for the DC Heroes role playing game was partly based on the comics and partly on the game maker's best guess. It's not necessary the official DC truth on the subject. It's an attempt to make a decision that was the standard for all DC Heroes Game masters to use for the official rules. For instance...
That way if your hero, say Shrink-Wrap-Man lives in Fawcett City according to his character sheet, than the GM knows he can make the storyline proceed so Shrink-Wrap-Man can, in a short trip,ride his Supercycle to  team up with Moonwalk-Girl (an NPC)  from Gary, Indiana .
Its just a practical game for gameplay. It's subject to change at the
GM's discretion.

I have heard a few different cities that Capt. Marvel is supposed to be from and where they are.

If you want the true, genuine, accurate location of FAWCETT CITY you have to go down this tunnel , past these statues and ask an robed, beared,old man sitting on throne...

I said Wisconsin as a joke, considering what they are famous for and what Captain Marvel's nickname is.

 :wink:

It's funny that it fits, LOL!

And my nickname is what?  Funny how these things never get around to the person that is most affected by it.  Don't tell me it's something cheesey.
