Poseidonis is the capital city of Atlantis.

Characteristics

Located in the eastern Atlantic,^{[nb 1]} Poseidonis is a large underwater city divided into five sectors. Both the Conservatory of Sorcery and the Science Center are located here, and it is the seat of power of King Orin and Queen Mera.

The Justice League has a Zeta-Beam transport tube connected up at Poseidonis.^[1]

History

At a time when Orin was absent, Black Manta attacked the capital. It caused severe structural damage, but the main objective, securing the echinoderm in the Science Center, was only partially achieved.^[1]

After meeting with Queen Mera and Prince Orm, Aqualad, Miss Martian and Superboy visited the Conservatory of Sorcery.^[2]

While talking with his old friends Garth and Tula, Aqualad learned about the purist uprisings. They had to break up a row between conservatory students about that very subject.^[2]

Ocean-Master and the purists kidnapped Mera from her royal quarters. She was brought to the S'atiroman Cave.^[3]

Orm and Aqualad organized a counterattack. Orm deliberately sent Kaldur to an ambush at the Old Roman's Trench.^[3]

After defeating Ocean-Master, Orin thanked his protégé for the safe return of his queen and unborn son.^[3]
