Earth-2

One of the countless Parallel-Worlds that Superman has encountered in his adventures. This version of Earth is portrayed as a direct continuation of the Golden Age (1935-1947) of the chronicles, although it differs in several details from the original Golden Age stories. Its greatest distinction from the Earth of Superman (Earth-1) is that it is the location of the modern-day adventures 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 was first encountered by the Flash (Flash No.123, Sep 1961: "Flash of Two Worlds!").
