Superman of Earth-A
Superman of Earth-A
In an historical twist of events in the universe of Earth-1, Baby Kal-El is switched with a blond-haired child immediately before Krypton explodes, and a rocket with this baby rather than Kal-El makes its way to what is now known as Earth-A. The adolescent is found and raised by Ma and Pa Jones and named Ripper Jones. He grows up to become the world’s greatest super villain, Superman of Earth-A!
The existence of this being is the result of an alternative timeline produced by Earth-1's Johnny Thunder and is told in the chronicles of the Justice League of America.
Superman of Earth-A battles and is defeated by Justice League member Doctor Fate, due to having the same vulnerability to Magic as Superman (Justice League of America No. 37, Aug 1965: "Earth--Without a Justice League!").
