Middleton was, for many years, the primary base of operations for the Martian Manhunter.
History
Middleton is a large suburb in the North West of Denver, Colorado. Nestled against the Rocky Mountains, it was settled in the 20s as a failed ski resort. The town eventually became renowned for its mountain vistas, which attracted artists and writers. The local commerce soon built itself around the arts and after World War II, it was supplemented with light industry. Over time, as Denver citizens settled in Middleton, primarily for the pleasant atmosphere and easy commute, the town quickly grew to a modest population of 100,000 inhabitants. In 1968, the town voted to be incorporated into Denver itself, the city having grown considerably towards its borders.[1]
Middleton was the home of scientist Saul Erdel, who accidentally teleported the Martian J'onn J'onzz to Earth. Not long afterward, this strange visitor, in human disguise, joined the local police department, under the name John Jones.
