History

Bialya is a country in located in the Middle East.

Some time before the modern age of superheroes, archaeologist Dan Garrett discovered the Blue Beetle Scarab while unearthing the tomb of the Pharaoh Kha-Ef-Re in Bialya. It granted him a vision, giving him the powers and costume of the Blue Beetle.

In the modern age, Bialya was originally ruled by the buffoonish Col. Rumaan Harjavti, before it was taken over by the ruthless femme fatale Queen Bee II. She was eventually deposed and replaced by her sister Queen Bee IV, who was in turn deposed.

Under Harjavti's reign, members of the United Nations superteam known as the Global Guardians became members of the Bialyan military, causing friction with their replacements in the Justice League International.

Red Tornado's adopted daughter Traya Sutton was half-Bialyan. Traya was the victim of hate crime at her private school after a fellow student's parents were killed in a terrorist attack in Bialya. She was rescued from such attacks by her roommate, Cissie King-Jones, aka the former Young Justice member Arrowette.

During the 43rd week of the "missing year", Black Adam was manipulated into slaughtering millions of Bialya's inhabitants, when it was made to appear that the country was responsible for the murder of his wife and brother-in-law.

Notes

• While the real-life inspiration for Bialya has not beed specified, it is presumably based on Libya (a near anagram of Bialya) and other Mid-Eastern countries ruled by military strongmen. It was notably featured in issues of Justice League International as written by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis.
