I know they do it with the Princesses and Princes... but I think they do it more for the kids than anything. I just couldnt imagine seeing like Wolverine in Japan or Nightcrawler in England. Guess the Prince and Princesses look and fit the part for where they are at.
Wolverine would be in Canada and Nightcrawler in Germany because that's where they were from in the comic books. (Wolverine could wander over to Japan occasionally and still be appropriate, though.) Storm would be over by the African Outpost. Back in the day there was a Japanese superhero, Sunfire if I recall correctly, who could be in Japan. I remember other international heroes (and villains) from way back when, but none that correspond to other World Showcase pavilions besides the American pavilion, which would be crawling with superheroes, and the Canadian pavilion, which would also have several to choose from. I guess Banshee could be kind of England-adjacent? But I haven't read comics since the mid-1980s, so by now there may be lots of other Marvel characters who could populate the entire World Showcase.
I suppose I could live with Marvel superheroes making appearances like the various princesses do at Epcot, but if it were my call I'd keep Epcot real-world oriented and leave the fantasy, sci-fi, and superheroes to other parks.
