Editing Earth-Two (section)

==Variants==
Because Earth-Two as presented did not match up with the actual comics of DC's Golden Age, other alternative Earths were used to explain the discrepancies.

'''Earth-Two-A''' (also known as Alternate Earth-Two) was where Clark Kent worked for the ''Daily Planet'' under editor Parry White in the 1940s and 1950s (on regular Earth-Two Kent worked for the ''Daily Star'', his editor was George Taylor, and Perry White was a reporter).<ref>{{cite comic|writer=|penciller=|inker=|story=|title=The Official Crisis on Infinite Earths Index|issue=#1|date=March 1986}}</ref>

'''Earth-Two-B''' (also '''Earth-Forty-Six''') is a world referenced but not described in the ''Crisis on Infinite Earths: Absolute Edition''.

'''Earth-E''' ('''Earth-216''') is the world where the [[Super-Sons]] adventures happened and was used to explain 1950s Batman and Superman stories that didn't fit with either Earth-One or Earth-Two history. Mark Gruenwald assigned it to the 1951–1960 period of those books.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Gruenwald|first=Mark|author-link=Mark Gruenwald|title=In Search of the Super-Sons Tangent|journal=Omniverse: The Journal of Fictional Reality|issue=1|publisher=Alternity Enterprises|date=1977}}</ref>

'''New 52 Earth 2''': Following the events of "[[Flashpoint (comics)|Flashpoint]]", the setting was revised, and was now identified as "Earth ''2''" (instead of "Earth Two" or "Earth-Two"). While it still houses a [[Justice Society of America|team of superheroes]], its membership is younger than before. Earth 2 also has a tragic backstory, having been invaded by an alien horde from [[Apokolips]] five years prior to the reboot, ahead of [[Darkseid]]'s attempted invasion of Prime Earth. In the process, this reality's [[Superman of Earth-Two]], [[Batman of Earth-Two]] and [[Wonder Woman of Earth-Two]] all died, while its [[Supergirl]] and post-Flashpoint [[Robin of Earth-Two]] ([[Helena Wayne]]) were swept through a dimensional warp to Prime Earth where they became known as [[Power Girl]] and [[Huntress (Helena Wayne)|Huntress]]. Other notable character differences include a younger version of Alan Scott, the Golden Age Green Lantern, who leads the Wonders; Superman is succeeded by Val-Zod, a black-skinned Kryptonian pacifist; Aquawoman (Marella) is the Queen of Atlantis; Terry Sloan, formerly known as Mr. 8, is a universe-hopping villain; and Oliver Queen is the Red Arrow.

The ensuing ''Earth-2'' (2012–2015) and ''Earth-2: World's End'' (2014–2015) stories depict the formation of a new group of heroes ("Wonders") who try and fail to save the Earth from Darkseid's second invasion attempt.

This Earth's Supergirl and Robin were transported to Prime Earth during the war, where they assumed the identities of [[Power Girl]] and the [[Huntress (Helena Wayne)|Huntress]]; they later relocate to Earth-2 in ''Earth-2: World's End''

Following the destruction of Earth-2 by Darkseid, the assembled heroes restart human civilization on a new planet in ''Earth-2: Society'' (2015–2017). They eventually reboot the world's history, resulting in a dieselpunk world where the Ultra-Humanite suppressed the Wonders until the survivors from before the reboot re-emerged.

This Earth is the current Earth 2 of the modern Multiverse, as confirmed in ''Dark Crisis: Big Bang''.
