History
Limbo
Whilst travelling through the timestream, Barry Allen inadvertently landed in Limbo where he became a target of the Lord of Limbo who wanted to add the Flash to his collection. (The Flash v1 #284)
During the Final Crisis, various incarnations of Superman came upon Limbo after being shot down in their Carrier there. They came to use the Library of Limbo to help repair their vessel and in the process learnt the origin of the Monitors. (Final Crisis: Superman Beyond v1 #1)
Overview
Locations in Limbo included:
- Library of Limbo : home to a single book with an infinite number of pages all occupying the same space meaning no one could read it. It was said to contain every possible book in existence within its pages. (Final Crisis: Superman Beyond v1 #1)
Everyone was treated the same and it was said nothing happened in this realm which meant there were no stories. (Final Crisis: Superman Beyond v1 #1)
People who stayed too long in Limbo began to lose their memories and in time began to fade from the memories of people that knew them. (Final Crisis: Superman Beyond v1 #1) Those that managed to leave Limbo never remembered their time in that realm. (Animal Man v1 #25)
