The headquarters of the D.E.O. was located in National City. It served as a replacement for the Earth-38 version destroyed during the Anti-Monitor Crisis, but this HQ was itself destroyed by Rama Khan.
History[]
The D.E.O. headquarters was brought into existence after the Crisis, becoming the Earth-Prime replacement of its Earth-38 counterpart. However, the organization was absorbed into Luthor Corp and is now controlled by Lex and Lena Luthor. Unlike on the Earth of Earth-38, the HQ's operation was public knowledge.[1]
Kryptonite and many of Lex's gadgets were stored in the D.E.O., along with past villain gear that was confiscated from apprehended humans and aliens. This included Winslow Schott Sr. and the other Winn's deadly toys. As the D.E.O. was owned by Lex, it's likely the Kryptonite obtained by Hank Henshaw was not given away by J'onn for Superman to throw into the sun (as was done in Earth-38; the headquarters itself followed soon).
The DEO headquarters is destroyed.
Toyman of Earth-TUD19 managed to briefly take control of the computers in the D.E.O. after digitizing his mind into a laptop that also held the mind of Earth-Prime's Toyman.[2]
In April 2020, Rama Khan was brought to the D.E.O. for questioning. This, however, was part of Leviathan's plan, and Rama Khan managed to escape and harvest Kryptonite from the headquarters' security measures. Upon leaving, he tore down the D.E.O. headquarters, burying any alien technology that could be used against Leviathan. [3]
Not knowing the place was destroyed, Ava Sharpe tried to call here.[4]
The remains of the building and its supplies were collected under Lex Luthor's order and dumped in the middle of the ocean. The remains would later merge with Kelex to create a monster based on the Oscar program Zor-El created. The remains were ultimately destroyed in the ensuing battle by being thrown into the Sun.[5]
