Liberty Square

Overview
An open plaza with an eye-pleasing mix of fountains, trees, grassy knolls and park benches. The square honors the Liberty Corps, a hero team active in the 1930s and 1940s. A bronze monument statue of the team stands at the center of the plaza. Liberty Square also contains a handful of bronze plaques honoring more recent San Angelo heroes who have been killed in the line of duty.

Most supers consider Liberty Square “neutral ground” as a gesture of respect to the fallen heroes. Even criminal supers are unlikely to attack foes here, and a few have at times arranged meetings with their heroic rivals at the plaza to pass on information, make threats, discuss mutual enemies or fulfill some other non-combat purpose.

History
A memorial to the Golden Age hero team, Liberty Corps, was dedicated on April 2, 1968. The dedication ceremony involved most of the surviving members of the team. The inclusion of Beast Girl in a monument statue of the Liberty Corps sparks some controversy over her blacklisting during the post-war “Red Scare.” Far-right organizations threaten to picket the dedication, and Beast Girl does not appear at the ceremony.
