History
As the home of the Justice League, the city would often become the target of various super-powered beings, such as an invasion by the brainwashing Starro.
This New England municipality was also the home of Snapper Carr in the and the hideout itself was additionally the setting of the demise of the Doom Patrol team of super-heroes. Later, the facility would be used by other versions of the Justice League, the android superhero Hourman, a new incarnation of the Doom Patrol and, for a time, Young Justice. During the Doom Patrol's second tenure, the city is overcome by perverse sexual impulses due to a supernatural event. The Patrol, with the assistance of extra-dimensional officers, negate the threat, restoring everyone to their right mind.
Secret Origins #32 indicates the mountain cave was located in RI, although the elevation drawings used in that comic book show the mountain at an altitude higher than Rhode Island's actual highest elevation, Jerimoth Hill.
Young Justice
In Young Justice #3, Happy Harbor is the focus of a history-altering temporal event. Due to a time-traveling, serious-minded, younger Mister Mxyzptlk, the only outpost of civilized humanity is the city's civic center, crowded with partying teenagers. When Mxy is convinced to assume a life of humor, the world changes back to the way it was, with one exception; Happy Harbor gains a Mxyzptlk-themed amusement park.
During the Sins of Youth storyline, age-altered supervillains attack the town but were soon stopped by age-affected heroes.
During the 52 series, Martian Manhunter constructs a memorial to deceased JLA members in the hills above Happy Harbor. Already it is out of date, as two have returned to life.
Alternate Versions
In the first few pages of 2006 the D.C./Wildstorm crossover 'Dreamwar', the Wildstorm version of Happy Harbor is destroyed by a tidal wave. It is not a natural event, it is caused by a mentally ill superhuman.
