China
China was not founded by Marvel, we're absolutely certain of it. In fact, China influences Marvel movies, or sometimes China flat-out alters movies, but that's neither here nor there. They also might influence fringe right wing crackpots in America, which is pretty concerning. But there's a punk rock scene in China, and anywhere with a punk rock scene has to be pretty cool. Oh, and there's a huge basketball league in China, which is very cool. Even cooler than that, China's greatest basketball player, Yao Ming, saved a bunch of shark populations.
