Cincinnati is a city in Ohio on the Ohio River.
History
Earth-S
While visiting Gregor Ziemer at Station WLW, Billy Batson came across an old man calling himself Grandpa Willis blowing bubbles. The mixture, however, made the bubble as hard as steel, and they started causing trouble all over the city. Changing into Captain Marvel, he stopped them from crashing into buildings, civilians, and Crosley Field during a baseball game. Luckily, once the mixture ran out, Willis had forgotten how to mix any more, ending the threat.[1]
New Earth
When Superman was being bumped through time by the Linear Man, he found himself joining a circus in 1943 as Samson, where he toured American cities, including Cincinnati.[2]
Booster Gold's funeral was held in Cincinnati (despite him never visiting the city while alive) as it was one of the few cities that would agree to host. Skeets identified the nearby Daniel Carter as Booster's ancestor, who grew up just outside of Cincinnati in Covington.[3] When Katherine McClellan held a campaign rally, Robotman tried to prevent an assassination. He succeeded in stopping the bomber from taking out McClellan, but the blast left 35 dead and hundreds more wounded.[4]
After the destruction of New Krypton, Superman became more aggressive in his approach to dealing with criminals. Addressing this, Batman confronted him on a rooftop in Cincinnati, telling him he needed to stop before someone got hurt.[5]
