*'''Real name''': [[Kal-El]]
*'''Secret Identity''': [[Clark Kent of Earth-2]]
*'''Birth Parents''': [[Jor-El of Krypton-2|Jor-El]] and [[Lora of Krypton-2|Lora]]
*'''Adoptive Parents''': [[John and Martha Kent of Earth-2]]
*'''Wife''': [[Lois Kent]] aka [[Lois Lane of Earth-2]]
*'''Other known relatives''': Uncle [[Zor-L of Krypton-2|Zor-L]], Aunt [[Allura of Krypton-2|Allura]], and Cousin [[Kara Zor-L]] aka [[Karen Starr]] aka [[Power Girl of Earth-2]]

An alternate [[Superman]] from [[Earth-2]]: a "co-existing 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's powers are the result of his [[Kryptonian]] birth, his power of flight being limited to very long leaps (at least in the begining). This Superman is based in Earth-2's version of the city of [[Metropolis]], and has a secret mountain retreat located outside the city known as [[The Secret Citadel]].

The Earth-2 Superman is similar in many respects 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.

In February 1978, Superman of Earth-2 found a spacecraft, which turned out to be from his home planet of [[Krypton|Krypton-2]]. This spacecraft was built and sent by Kal-L's uncle, [[Zor-L of Krypton-2|Zor-L]], and this ship contained his long lost cousin, [[Kara Zor-L]]. Superman educated and trained Kara Zor-L in the use of her super-powers and she ultimately became the super-hero known as Power Girl (Earth-2â€™s equivalent of [[Supergirl]]). Superman went into a bit of semi-retirement after Power Girl's arrival on the scene.

Clark Kent was promoted from senior reporter to editor-in-chief of the [[Daily Star]] in the early 1950's when [[George Taylor]] retired. Kent was promoted to that post over [[Perry White of Earth-2|Perry White]]. (SF No. 197, Sep-Oct 1979: "Clark Kent's Mynah Dilemma")

In 1982, [[Alexei Luthor of Earth-2]] joined [[Lex Luthor]] of Earth-1 and [[Ultraman of Earth-3]], in an evil scheme to annihilate both of their respective Earths. The three dastardly villains were beaten by both Supermen, with the help of [[Alexander Luthor of Earth-3]]. (DCCPA No. 1, 1982: â€œCrisis on Three Earths!â€)
