History

The Statue of Liberty is one of the most iconic landmarks in the United States. Situated out in Liberty Island in New York Harbor it was a gift to the United States from France. It was erected on October 28, 1886. Since the early 1940s it has been the site of many confrontations among many of New York City's super-human population.

In it's earliest depiction, the Statue of Liberty was used as the headquarters of the Sub-Mariner's first invasion of the surface world^[3]. However, the Sub-Mariner was driven from the structure and sent into retreat following a battle against the Human Torch^[4]. In 1942 the statue was destroyed by Japanese spy Moppino with an atom expansion ray, however it was quickly repaired^[5].

The Frightful Four came to the Statue of Liberty, a regular meeting place when Spider-Man and the Human Torch would work with each other, in a bid to lure Spider-Man to this location. Once defeated the night watchers Earl and Roy, they snuck into Fort Wood to prepare themselves for the ambush. Once ready, they flamed a message over the Statue that Spider-Man would think was from the Human Torch. He arrived here with his guard down, but the 'Human Torch' he came to meet was really Electro in a specially made suit created by the Wizard that imitated the Torch's powers. The rest of the Frightful Four then joined the fight and easily over-powered the unprepared Spider-Man. After the fight is ended, the Wizard revealed his intentions of posing as Spider-Man to get close enough to the Fantastic Four to destroy them^[6].
