Broxton in fiction

Broxton and the surrounding regions has been an important setting of Marvel Comics' series Thor since the late 2000s. The Norse god Thor's home Asgard became a floating landmass outside of Broxton. Although the Asgardians were welcomed by the locals,[2] in the 2011 miniseries Fear Itself, Odin, resentful of being made the recipient of humans' altruism, and sensing the return of an ancient enemy, leads his people back to Asgard's former location.[3]

Broxton is also featured in season two of Agent Carter, as the childhood home of antagonist Agnes Cully (aka Whitney Frost).
