History:

Little is known thus far about the Superman of Earth-2 -- not even his birth name, though it is assumed that his legal name is also Clark Kent as is most of his parallels such as the Pre Crisis Earth-TWO, Earth-22 and New Earth Supermen.

It is suggested that he is an associate or actual member of the JSA and possibly its successor organization Justice Society Infinity, but that remains unclear at this point.

What is specifically known about the Earth-2 Superman, is that he has been missing in action for several years. His cousin Power Girl of Earth-2 searched for him for several years, but she was unable to find him before returning to her source Earth where she confronted Kara-L of Earth-Two/New Earth. He and the Lois Lane of his source Earth both remain missing to this day.

The Earth-2 Superman bears a likeness to his Earth-Two counterpart Kal-L, who died during the multiversal event known as Infinite Crisis though seems somewhat younger as the only known pictures of the Earth-2 Superman shows him with very little white hair at the sides or none at all. These pictures suggest that like the Earth-22 Superman the Earth-2 Superman is just entering into his middle age before his disappearance, approximately only in his fifties.

This younger age of the Earth-2 Superman would fit with the younger ages to the older counterparts of the New Earth JSA, as the Earth-2 Jay Garrick is also far younger than his New Earth counterpart.

From suggested pictures the Earth-2 Superman wears a S shield very close to the Earth-One Superman rather than the six sided S shield of Earth-Two Kal-L. Though it is not absolutely proven that his "S" Shield is 5-sided instead of 6-sided at this time.
