Broxton in fiction

Broxton and the surrounding regions have 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]

The residents of Broxton become honored and trusted friends of the Asgardians.

The setting of Broxton returns in 2020 when Thor's hammer mysteriously lands in a farm. [4]

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