An alternate Superman from Earth-2: a "co-existing 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's powers are the result of his Kryptonian birth, his "flight" ability being limited to very long leaps (at least in the begining). Thise Superman is based in Earth-2's version of the city of Metropolis, and has a secret mountain retreat located outside the city known as The Secret Citadel.

The Earth-2 Superman is similar in many respects 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 February 1978, Superman of Earth-2 found a spacecraft, which turned out to be from his home planet of Krypton-2. This spacecraft was built and sent by Kal-L'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 (Earth-2’s equivalent of Supergirl). Superman went into a bit of semi-retirement after Power Girl's arrival on the scene.

Clark Kent was promoted from senior reporter to Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Star. When George Taylor retired from the Star as its editor-in-chief, Kent was promoted to that post over Perry White. (SF No. 197, Sep-Oct 1979: "Clark Kent's Mynah Dilemma")

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