History

It was founded by a scientist namedGarrison Slate, who wanted a nationwide chain of research laboratories unconnected to the government or any business interests.^[1] He succeeded not only on a national scale, but an international one as well: S.T.A.R. Labs maintained facilities inCanada,Europe,Australia, andJapan, as well as in theUnited States, with the total number of facilities numbering between twenty and thirty in the last recorded count.

Lex Luthor has attempted to buy out S.T.A.R. on at least one occasion. The technology used to maintainCyborg's cybernetic parts comes from S.T.A.R. Labs. These parts were also used to create cybernetic enhancements forRon Evers.

The central branch in Metropolis is most likely one of the more recognizable branches, due to its connections to Superman and the various supervillains they hold. During theArmageddon 2001 event, the Metropolis branch was destroyed in the fight betweenCaptain Atom andMonarch, but has since been rebuilt. Also, S.T.A.R. Labs offered help during the time when theSun-Eater extinguished the sun.
