Earth-2
One of the countless Parallel-Worlds that Superman has encountered in his adventures. This version of Earth was portrayed as a direct continuation of the Golden Age (1935-1947) superhero comics, although it differed in several details from the original Golen Age stories. Its greatest distinction from the Earth-1 (mainstream) continuity of DC comics of its day was that it featured modern-day stories of the successors of Superman and his contemporaries (Batman, Wonder Woman, etc.), since on Earth-2, Superman's greatest activity was during the Golden Age, not in the present day. Earth-2 first appeared in 1961, as the background for the story "Tale of Two Flashes". It was written out of existence in 1984 as part of the [I]Crisis on Infinite Earths[/I]. At least one character related to Superman of Earth-2, Power Girl (Kara Zor-L) was continued into the new Post-Crisis continuity, although her history was rewritten to remove any connection to Superman.
