Ahhh, the care-free life of a young, starving artist, Wendy Watson ...

Well, OK ... not free of any cares. I mean ... there is the illegal sublet apartment you live in, the mundane temp jobs you have to work at, the recent boyfriend who dumped you, and the constant nagging calls from Mom. But hey, at least you don't have to fight big nasty monsters! ... oh wait ... I guess you do ...

Wendy finds this out the hard way, while working for her latest gig, when an experiment unleashes a genetic baddie. She defeats the monster, single-handed, and this catches the eye of The Middleman. Passed down throughout time, this secret organization has defended the planet from the forces of evil. And Wendy has proven she is the perfect candidate to become the next Middleman. As she learns her new trade, she gets access to all kinds of handy superhero gadgets ... like, the Middlemobile, the Middlewatch and the middle ... oh, you get the idea. At the Middleman HQ, MM is assisted by his faithful, yet cranky android, Ida. Ida has nothing but contempt for the Middleman's new apprentice, always coming up with some drug-related insult. But, she always does her job, and the foundation for all things MM.
