OVERVIEW

The Survival Zone is a pocket dimension similar to the Phantom Zone but operating at a different wave-lenght.

HISTORY

When a meteor swarm smashed holes in the dome protecting Argo City releasing deadly radioactivity, scientist Zor-El devised a ray gun to enable him and his wife Alura Zor-El to escape to the zone that Zor-El dubbed the Survival Zone. At first he thought the ray gun as the test seemingly failed, but after sending off their daughter Kara into space headed for Earth they realized that the radiation had delayed the effects of the ray gun and they disappeared into the zone.

Years later they would be released from the Survival Zone by their daughter.
