Season Six[]
During the events of Dark Thursday, the population of a village in the Kashmir region observed something falling from the sky (likely an escaped Zoner). The next day, almost the entire village was destroyed.[2]
Lex Luthor set up a covert 33.1 facility in Mumbai, for the purpose of experimenting on India's metahuman population. The facility was presumably destroyed by Green Arrow's team, like the rest.[3][4]
Season Eleven[]
Superman and Impulse raced each other to Mumbai. Not long after, Impulse return to prevent the outbreak of a Speed Storm.[1]
A few months later, Superman went back to India, after learning about an inbound tsunami.[5]
Notes[]
- The presence of a 33.1 facility in Mumbai is evidence that there are metahumans in India.[3] However, their identities and how many Indian metahumans there are is unknown.
- Smallville featured several characters of Indian descent (the most notable being superheroine Hawkgirl (Shayera Hall)). It is unknown if they were all born in the United States of America, or if some were born in India and immigrated to the United States at some point in their lives.
- Actress Sahar Biniaz was born in India.
