**The City of Nexus** is a major location in *Turtle Man and DaPhantom*, having been the main setting of the show where the main characters have lived since Season 5. Being first introduced in said season, it is a colossal city filled to the brim with many sights to see and having some interesting history as it was built far before the trio even knew about it and moved there, though the city is also often subject to many villanous plots and attacks due to their presence there.

## Description

The City of Nexus is a huge, futuristic themed city whose concrete land stretches for as many miles as the eye can see. It is filled to the brim with large roads that lead to the many different buildings and sites, such as the towering skyscrapers which might be the most defining feature of the place, as they reach high enough to touch the clouds. Even though the main flooring of the city is made out of a dark, rough concrete the city does also feature many forms of life such as several trees, a huge river and also a park range that is visited by many people. There are many different houses across the paths and streets, some of them being owned by people like Officer M. and a manor by DaPhantom, including some houses alongside a small field of grass. There are various other buildings across the city like car parks for the many cars, factories, warehouses and various other sites including a statue of the late former mayor Hector Flores and a bakery ran by Victor. Also the city has a dedicated police force with it’s own station that has many members who are efficient at stopping crimes across the city, and a small science lab owned by Bill that is a bit untidy but filled with many of his inventions.

Within the centre of the colossal city there lies the town hall where the Vice President resides to do his “work” whilst the main president is out doing whatever he might be up to. The Nexus coast is nearby here, and is where Turtle Man lives within his cove that he made of shells and other beach materials. On top of all this, many shops and other businesses are present all across the city; the most well known of which would be tallest skyscraper in the city, where the Nexus Blacksmith resides and does his smithing work. The Nexus Emporium is a place which offers many services and is also found inside of one of the skyscrapers, having purple and pink lights all over to display this.

The City of Nexus also has a huge arena where events like parades and the annual Nexus Olympics are held, as well as a big arcade just across the street from it where there is a lot of fun and games to be found. There is also a large court where many trials take place and a huge, dark purple Prison that is always packed due to the amount of crime that sometimes happens across the huge city, that is under heavy protection at all times.

## Background

The City of Nexus started out like all other cities that are huge to this day: with small beginnings. The city was originally built by a group of ancient, devoted builders many years ago who had made a simple town that wasn’t all that advanced or high-tech whatsoever. As the years went by, the city grew and became larger and larger as more builders had contributed to it and brought in their own touches; these ancient builders knew powerful technology that they managed to introduce into the city. Eventually the City of Nexus grew far enough and became what it is today, being a home to thousands upon thousands of civilians and extremely advanced with dozens of towering skyscrapers and services offered to those who are around. The former president of Nexus was Hector Flores who was also seen and remarked as a hero by the city and also his famous movies he made at the nearby HF Studios, however he had given up and a statue was built to commemorate him following his supposed death long ago. Other than all that, most of the other origins of the City of Nexus are unknown and likely mysterious, but maybe they will be elaborated upon someday.

Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. had first moved to the City of Nexus a few years from the Countryside after the end of Season 4 when they had defeated the Evil King for the first time. They had all quickly settled down and enjoyed it here with Officer M. getting a role in the Nexus Police Force with a familiar Boss of his, and the three of them all had their own homes to settle down in. The three of them continued to do their crimefighting here but also made enemies with a new villain named The Devourer who is constantly scheming to take over the city and destroy them through any means necessary. They had also brought Victor back here from Yoshi Resort and helped him settle down into the city with his own bakery, selling goods that most people enjoyed quite a bit. Parties are frequently held in the Town Hall, such as during the Halloween and Christmas Specials where Kanye West came to sing an epic song in the latter special.

## Trivia

* Before the City of Nexus was introduced, the Countryside had served as a primary setting in the first four seasons and the locations the characters visited was interchangeable with most episodes.
* The old design for Nexus was quite different, being a lighter gray color in appearance, not being as detailed and also having less features as well as sporting a blue color palette for the tech instead of the current iteration which has a mix of pink and purple.
* As a running gag in the show, the city is always getting destroyed in various different ways across the different episodes and seasons but it always ends up being repaired by the end of it.
