Salvation was a town in the Old West in the Dakota Territory of the United States of Earth-1. The place was a "temporal blindspot" which time travelers can use to hide undetected, albeit not indefinitely.
History[]
Prior to 1871, an reincarnation of Chay-Ara settled near Salvation after Vandal Savage had killed her husband Hannibal Hawkes.[1]
Also prior to 1871, a young H.G. Wells came down with tuberculosis. His mother, heeding his doctor's advice for a constitutional, took the boy to Salvation to see the American West.[1]
Jeb Stillwater threatens the town
In 1871, the Stillwater Gang raided the town for many months, before the Legends arrived in the town to hide from the Time Masters. With the aid of Jonah Hex, the Legends defended the town from the Stillwater Gang, and then again from The Hunters.[1]
In an attempt to escape from Mallus, the Legends returned to Salvation, hoping it being a temporal blindspot would hide them from Mallus for some time. Despite this, Mallus was still able to locate the team, and a battle then ensued between the Legends and a number of their allies against Mallus and his forces. The Legends, using the Totems of Zambesi, formed a giant Beebo and defeated Mallus once and for all. After the battle, the Time Bureau erased the memories of the battle from the Salvation's residents, as well as returning Mallus' army to their proper time periods.[2]
