![[Island World Map 2.jpg]] ![[Ext VolcanOH.jpg]] **VolcanOH** is one of the most iconic and chaotic landmarks in the Surf Soup® / Plastic Island universe—a dramatic volcano located beside the **Pickle Factory**, where **Plastic Man** constantly schemes to turn one entire side of the volcano into a giant commercial water slide attraction. The “OH” in **VolcanOH** perfectly captures both the comedic surprise of the setting and the inevitable disasters caused by Plastic Man’s greed. It is a recurring set piece for action, comedy, environmental themes, and villain storylines. **Character / Location Name** VolcanOH **Character Type** Major Recurring Story Location / Signature Plastic Island Landmark **World** Plastic Island / Plastic Soup continuity **Type** Volcano landmark / semi-characterized location **Role** Villain scheme location, action set piece, environmental landmark **Core Identity** VolcanOH sits directly next to the **Pickle Factory**.
