Points of Interest[]
- Hub City Airport
- The Hub City Airport was an airport located in Hub City. The Quraci terrorist cell known as the Jihad learned that Air Force One would be touching down at the airport, so they used it as the platform by which to test their effectiveness. Chimera teleported the group into the airport, whereupon they began slaughtering many of the patrons. Team leader Rustam personally stabbed at least one individual, and Manticore was likely responsible for multiple deaths. [1]
DC Television Universe[]
- Hub City has also made appearances in the DC Television Universe. When the Legends traveled back in time to the year 1958, Ray Palmer and Kendra Saunders elected to stay behind and lived there until 1960.
