An alternate Superman from "Earth-Two"—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!").
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.
Known appearances of Superman as a separate Earth-2 incarnation of himself in the chronicles are: New Adventures of Superboy #15-16; Action #484 - Wedding to Lois Lane, 1950's; Adventure #462 - Cameo, Funeral of the Batman; Adventure #466 - Cameo, Funeral of Mr. Terrific; DC Comics Presents Annual #1; Superman Family #186-187; Superman Family #195-199 - 1940-50's; Superman Family #201-222 - 1940-50's; (sources for biographic summaries)
