What the Command Center lacks in sex appeal, however, it more than makes up for in functionality. Then again, that’s likely because the exterior is a real institute (the Brandeis-Bardin Campus). Located atop of a cliff in California, the Command Center might initially be confused for an observatory that, for some very odd reason, comes equipped with a rather large chimney. ![]() So far as architecture goes, the Power Rangers’ Command Center finds itself a step or two behind some of the most elaborate bases of operations out there. The tower also served as a kind of rallying point for DC Universe heroes during their battle with the Anti-Monitor in Crisis on Infinite Earths, and it's is believed to exist in several universes at once. Then again, it would have to be, considering that The Tower of Fate is home to a number of incredibly powerful artifacts such as the Orb of Nabu, which lets Doctor Fate see into the past, present, and future. It has no conventional doors or windows, and it’s difficult to say just how large it really is, but we do know that The Tower of Fate is one of the most impenetrable structures in all of DC Comics. This massive tower is located in the Earth 2 multiverse somewhere in the countryside of Salem, Massachusetts. When Kent and Inza Nelson (better known as Doctor Fate and the wife of Doctor Fate) decided they needed a little place to hang their hats, put their feet up, and draw power from ancient forces in order to prolong their lifespan by a few millennia, they didn’t look towards the suburbs like many of us might do they turned to The Tower of Fate. It’s also capable of being shifted between dimensions, making it one of the world’s best mobile homes. It’s full of wonders the likes of which the world has never seen (not unlike the various Pizza Hut/Taco Bells of the world) as well as some of the most diabolically clever booby traps in all of comics. There have been many incarnations of the Sanctorum over the years, but the one aspect that remains constant is the idea that Doctor Strange uses this surprisingly spacious location as a combination laboratory, mythical centerpiece, and stately manor (thus making it the Marvel equivalent of the combination Pizza Hut/Taco Bell). Namely, it allows Strange to draw a tremendous source of magical power that he uses to fuel his research as well as several magical devices. That incredibly eerie location does come with some advantages, though. This three story townhouse was originally conceived during Doctor Strange’s black magic early days, which would probably help to explain why it was built on a site that once hosted Pagan rituals and Native American sacrifices. ![]() Here are the 15 Coolest Secret Superhero Bases Of All Time.Ĭoncept art for the Sanctum Sanctorum in the Doctor Strange movieĬonveniently located in the very posh Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan at 177A Bleeker Street, the Sanctum Sanctorum is the residence and base of operations for Marvel’s own Doctor Strange. ![]() While opinions on that particular matter remain as heated as ever, there is an elite class of secret bases that have managed to become as iconic as the heroes they house. Writers and artists everywhere came to understand how much fun it is to craft the most elaborate and awesome bases they could possibly imagine, and it wasn’t long before an arms race of sorts started over the matter of who could create the greatest secret base of them all. While part of that could certainly be attributed to the influence of the aforementioned toy market, the exploding popularity of secret bases has much more to do with how cool they are. Since their early days, these bases have only gotten more elaborate. While future generations would thank the inventors of this concept for the way that their idea allowed them to manufacture elaborate and expensive superhero secret base toys that were about as expensive as the down payment that most parents dropped on their actual homes, back then, the superhero base was a practical way for every hero to have a sanctuary that provided a little stability in their lives. Early on in comic book history, it was established that nearly every superhero needed a base of operations.
