This article is about the Geographic North Pole. For the Magnetic North Pole, see North Magnetic Pole.
The North Pole is the point in the Northern Hemisphere where the Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface. It is the site of Superman's Fortress of Solitude.
Doctor Fate, Zatanna and her students arrived in the North Pole and found Child and Flaw. The group's best efforts failed to harm Child, and she summoned a pillar of fire and trapped Fate in a fist of ice before leaving. A Klarion-possessed school bus arrived soon after.[1]
Doctor Fate freed himself, and Zatanna and Klarion convinced him that they should all work together to defeat Child. The group teleported away in the bus, shortly followed by the arrival of Isis and Ice to deal with the pillar.[2]
When the Eye sensed Bio-Ship approaching, the group went outside and the Eye shot it down. Saturn Girl saw the attack coming, allowing them to mitigate the damage and create the illusion it was worse. Superman pretended to be the only occupant to remain conscious. He rejected Zod's offer to join him, and was subdued with Kryptonite before the group moved on with him to Planet Circle.[3][4]
Nightwing emerged from the Fortress to the scene of the devastated Bio-Ship. Miss Martian quickly revealed their ruse. After catching up, they determined to face Zod with the heroes still on their feet. Baby arrived, summoned by her mother's psychic pain, providing them transport.[4]
