An alternate Superman from "Earth-Two"—a "coexisting world in a parallel dimension--not identical, but similar to its twin in many respects" (Act No. 484, Jun 1978: "Superman Takes a Wife!").

The Earth-2 Superman is similar in many details to Superman as presented in the early chronicles. First introduced as a distinct character in November-December 1977, the existence of the Earth-2 Superman postulated a historical divergence from the events as presented in the middle and late chronicles. These were then said to have occured to the Earth-1 Superman.

In August 1969, Superman of Earth-2 rejoined the Justice Society.

In February 1978, Superman of Earth-2 found a spacecraft, which turned out to be from his planet Krypton! This spacecraft was built and sent by Superman of Earth-2’s uncle Zor-L and the ship contained his long lost cousin, Kara Zor-L. Superman of Earth-2 educated and trained Kara Zor-L in the use of her super-powers and she ultimately became the super-hero known as Power Girl. [which is Earth-2’s version of Supergirl]

In 1982, Lex Luthor of Earth-2 joined Lex Luthor of Earth-1 Ultraman of Earth-3, in an evil scheme to annihilate both Earths-1 and Earth-2. The three dastardly villains were beaten by the Superman and Superman of Earth-2, with the help of Alexander Luthor. (DCCPA No.1,1982 “Crisis on Three Earths!”)
