History

The Sumner Asylum was built sometime before 1969 in Star City.

On September 23, 2017, Nora Darhk was admitted to the asylum after being possessed by Mallus. John Constantine, Sara Lance, Amaya Jiwe, Leo Snart, and Nate Heywood infiltrated the asylum to perform an exorcism on Nora, which failed, sending John, Sara, and Leo to 1969 in the same asylum. John eventually cast a spell in the asylum to allow Mallus to temporarily possess Sara to bring them back to the present by drawing a symbol.^[1]
