Description[]
Hightown represented the Central Business District of Madripoor, and was the main center for economic commerce. In addition to its various high-rise buildings, Hightown was also where the police headquarters of Madripoor was located. The Sovereign Hotel, reported to be one of the best and most luxurious hotels in the world, was located in Hightown. Despite its opulence, the hotel has also seen its fair share of action. The mutant known as Karma had an altercation with Bloodsport at the Hotel, and Wolverine even set up Joe Fixit (Hulk during his intelligent grey-skinned phase) at the hotel during a mission they were working together.
