History
The F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. project, led by Martin Stein, took place at Hudson University. Jason Rusch, a graduate student, was amongst its members. Due to Martin skipping ahead with the transmutation steps of the project, the university threatened to shut it down. After Martin's disappearance, the United States Army terminated the project and confiscated all of its data from university.[1]
In April 2015 after walking to her car after work, engineering professor Lindsay Kang was killed by robotic bees in her car.[2]
Patty Spivot triple-majored in biology, chemistry, and physics at Hudson University.[3]
Henry Hewitt graduated summa cum laude from the university with a double major in Applied Physics and Biomedical Engineering.[4]
Alan Chang gained a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the university.[5]
Jenny Johnson graduated from Hudson University with a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science.[6]
Nate Heywood went to Hudson and was such a hardcore party boy he gained the nickname “Shotgun Nate”. Also, Mick Rory made a massive donation to the school at some point, successfully getting a building named after him. [7]
In November 2016, after Caitlin Snow uncovered a possible connection between Martin and her father, Thomas Snow, she searched Martin's old lab at Hudson University with Cisco Ramon, Ralph Dibny, and Sherloque Wells. The four discovered Thomas had been conducting research related to Killer Frost prior to his disappearance.[8]
In 2020, the Legends visited Hudson University to track down Dionysus and his chalice, an artifact that would grant them the power to use the Loom of Fate. Dionysus was revealed to have been living at Hudson as a legendary partying frat boy to obtain worship and stay alive since ancient times.
