Suicide Slums

From Smallville Wiki

Suicide Slums is a neighborhood in Metropolis that has been known to have a lot of crime and corruption. It is a down market area of Metropolis with the highest crime rates but also the lowest property prices. ^{[citation needed]}

It is where Morgan Edge and Lionel Luthor grew up as children and is where they plotted against Lionel's parents to kill them and claim the insurance money so that Lionel could start LuthorCorp.

Andrea Rojas also lived there as a child, until her mother was killed by Lionel. It is also where Martha Kent was mugged, and robbed of Jonathan's watch.

Brainiac also sought refuge here while trying to re-power himself.

[edit] In the Comics

In the comic continuity, Suicide Slums is the home of Bibbo Bibbowski, an ex-boxer and friend of Superman.
