(City)

Location : Delaware.

Description : The City of Tomorrow. Metropolis's heyday begins in the post World War II era - a time of prosperity and growth for the city. Metropolis's prosperity continues to this day, despite a number of alien invasions and super-villain attacks. It's resilience can be primarily attributed to the efforts of its staunchest defender, Superman.

Located near New York City and Gotham City on the United States' east coast, Metropolis is divided into six boroughs, and occupies three islands and areas along the coasts of the Hob's and West Rivers. On islands are the boroughs of New Troy, St. Martin's Island, and Hell's Gate. On the riverbank is Queensland Park along the West River to the south, and on Hob's River to the north are Park Ridge and Bakerline. New Troy, on the center island, is a center of business, like New York's Manhattan. It is home to the University of Metropolis and Centennial Park on the west side; and the Daily Planet, the LexCorp Tower, the Newstime building, and Galaxy Communications in the eastern business district. New Troy also has a less prosperous neighborhood called Hob's Bay, commonly known as Suicide Slum. Metropolis' nickname is the 'Big Apricot'.
