Manhattan

Other Realities
Earth-One: Although much of Manhattan's Earth-One history is preserved in Post-Crisis continuity, there are some events that are now considered apocryphal. One of the major differences is the notable lack of "Mystery Men" during the World War II era. In the 1930s, there were a few "pulp era" adventurers such as Doc Savage and the Shadow, but there was never a Justice Society of America or an All-Star Squadron. On Earth-One, super-hero teams such as the Justice League of America and the Teen Titans began their respective careers several decades earlier than their Post-Crisis counterparts. One of the major Earth-One events to take place in Manhattan was the Earth/Mars War. The Earth/Mars War involved the return of the Martian Manhunter whose ship crash-landed in the East River, and the subsequent battle between the Justice League of America and the Maritan forces under the command of the Marshal took place in Midtown Manhattan near the United Nations Building. Manhattan was also the base of operations for the Pre-Crisis version of Wonder Woman.

Earth-Two: In the Golden Age, Batman was based out of New York City (possibly Manhattan) prior to the establishment of Gotham City.

Earth-AD: In the parallel reality known as Earth-AD, Manhattan was one of the territories patrolled by the Global Peace Agency. After the coming of the Great Disaster, Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs of New York were destroyed. The ruins of Manhattan became part of the Tiger Empire.

Wildstorm Universe: In the Wildstorm Universe, the covert action team known as the WildC.A.T.s were based out of Manhattan. They headquartered themselves at the corporate office of Halo, Inc. owned and operated by team administrator Jacob Marlowe.

Midtown, along with "Uptown" and "Downtown", is one of the three major subdivisions of Manhattan.

The great majority of New York City's skyscrapers, including its tallest hotels and apartment towers, lie within Midtown.
