History

Belle Reve is a prison facility used to contain Metahuman criminals. It was also once used as a base of operations for Task Force X and the Suicide Squad. Located near the tourist community of St. Roch, Belle Reve has been the focus of several sensationalistic attacks. The New God known as Darkseid (as well as his Female Furies) invaded the prison, and it was also the target of a former government agent named Major Force. In recent years, Belle Reve was also used as a beachhead for the sorcerer known as Trygg.
