Description & History[]
Hob's Bay is one of the main neighborhoods of Metropolis as well as the name of the bay itself. Located across the West Metropolis River from the central New Troy district, it connects to the mainland by way of the Hobsneck Bridge.
Hob's Bay was where Myra Allen lived with her orphan charges, including Keith Robert White. During the "Fall of Metropolis", Hob's Bay was just as adversely affected by Lex Luthor's sonic missile attack as every other part of the city. Shortly thereafter, a cybernetic robot terrorized the area, killing Myra Allen. [1]
This was also the sight of a quonset tent designed to study those suffering from sleep disorders. Postal worker Fred Bentson went here after experiencing harrowing dreams of the Dakotaverse.

- Ace o' Clubs
- The Ace o' Clubs is a public drinking establishment located in Hob's Bay. It is owned and operated by a man named Bibbo Bibbowski. Bibbo maintained a zero-tolerance attitude against any patron who dared to bad-mouth the Man of Steel. It was not uncommon of Bibbo to personally toss such an individual out on their ear. Like most bars and pubs, the Ace o' Clubs was no stranger to violence. To keep the peace, Bibbo always had his trusty double-barrel shotgun at the ready should things ever get too wild.
- Hobb's Bay Grille
- Following the death of Superman, Jimmy Olsen and Bibbo Bibbowski took a depressed man named Mitch Anderson to the Hobb's Bay Grille so he could tell them about how he personally felt responsible for the death of Superman. He believed that he had put Superman on Doomsday's radar after after alerting him following Doomsday's battle with the Justice League. [2]
- Hobsneck Bridge
- The Hobsneck Bridge spans the distance between the central island of Metropolis and Hob's Bay. During the "Reign of the Supermen!", the Hobsneck Bridge was partially destroyed in a battle between Superboy and Stinger. [3]
