History

Overview

Area 51 is a secret USAF base located in Groom Lake, Nevada.[4][5] It is believed that in 1947 what became known as the Roswell UFO Incident a ship containing Grey Extraterrestrials, crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. These alien were said to have been taken to Area 51 for study.

Events

At some point the site was closed and new facility dubbed "Area 52" in Utah was created to contain "mysteries of America," including superhuman-related technology.[5] The abandoned Area 51 was then used by General John Ryker,[6] and later the Gamma Corps,[7] as headquarters.

At some point in time, Area 51 was the site where the In-Betweener was held captive before being freed by Miss America on Barnell Bohusk's and Angel Salvadore's intel, and the two of them were targeted in the desert next by Braak'nhüd.[1]

Area 51 served as the headquarters of the U.S. Army organization Starcorps and their team Road Force.[8]

Eventually the base was requisitioned by the U.S. Hulk Operations and christened Shadow Base Site B.[3]
