Superbia was a mobile city-state in DC Comics continuity. It initially floated above the radioactive ruins of Montevideo, Uruguay, which was destroyed by a villain called Vandal Savage. For several years, it is the home of the Ultramarine Corps, superheroes who were started by the corrupt United States military officer General Wade Eiling. After recovering from Eiling's manipulations, the Corp struck out on their own in concert with former members of the Global Guardians and any other heroes who wished to join them.

It was subsequently destroyed in Africa during the course of a takeover by Gorilla Grodd, Nebula Man and elements of the Sheeda. It crashed into the already ravaged city Kinshasa, the capitol of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, destroying much of it. [JLA Classified # 1-3] Many Superbian citizens were slain, at least one was eaten by Grodd. Although DC Comics is now claiming the "Superbia" story line, and even has a deal with the Sci-Fi channel to start a television series, it was originally an independent comic written by Matt Kubinski.
