Sub Diego

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sub Diego is the fictional home city of the second Aquagirl, and was recently used as a base of operations by Aquaman. It was formed when part of the city of San Diego submerged in an artificially generated earthquake, the result of a plan which changed part of the surviving population into subaquatic beings.

[edit] Event Statistics

According to statistics published in Adventures of Superman, the death toll of the "Sub Diego" event currently stands at 13,700. This figure may be subject to revision based upon additional information and future editorial decisions by DC Comics staff and freelancers.

[edit] Affected Districts

According to published accounts from 2004 to 2006 in the pages of Aquaman, the regions, neighbourhoods and landmarks of old San Diego that are considered to now be part of "Sub Diego" include(but are not limited to):

• the Gaslamp Quarter
• the San Diego Zoo
• the San Diego Convention Center
• Coronado, including the U.S. Navy facilities thereon
• Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego or SPAWAR

No map has yet been published to further clarify matters on this point.

It is notable that Sub Diego consists almost entirely of areas immediately affected by the International San Diego Comic-Con, considered the largest media-related convention in the western world.

[edit] History

Sub Diego had an increase in population due to the influx of refugees from Atlantis, following the destruction of that city by the Spectre. The disposition of Sub Diego in the wake of Infinite Crisis, 52, and "One Year Later" is not yet fully known, although according to DC's own 52 website [1], the DC Universe's version of Comic-Con International has resumed operations, albeit with considerable technological assistance.
