An alternate Superman from Earth-2: 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!"). Earth-2 Superman's powers are the result of his Kryptonian birth, his "flight" ability being limited to very long leaps. The Earth-2 Superman is based on 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 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 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] 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 office of 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 Earths-1 and Earth-2. The three dastardly villains were beaten by the Superman of Earth-1 and Superman of Earth-2, with the help of Alexander Luthor of Earth-3. (DCCPA No. 1, 1982: “Crisis on Three Earths!â€)
