	Supergirl: Maid of Might History Part 1
		On Earth, where, like any Kryptonian survivor, she acquired super-powers identical to Superman's, she assumed the secret alternate identity of Linda Lee, an orphan at the Midvale Orphanage, concealing her blond hair beneath a brunette wig and functioning as Supergirl only in secret, at Superman's insistence, until 1962 (in Action Comics #285).
		The multiple Earths were merged and many characters died and memories of them erased in the minds of the survivors.
		In 1985, DC Comics ran a 12-issue crossover series called "Crisis on Infinite Earths" which was designed to reduce the increasingly complicated DC superhero multiverse, which featured multiple versions of the same characters on Earth-1, Earth-2, etc. into a single, streamlined universe with one, revised timeline.

	Comixfan Forums - Eradicator II (Superman II)
		When Superman was finally revived, along with Superboy, Supergirl, and Steel, the Eradicator helped him to defeat the plans of the fake Cyborg Superman and Mongul to turn Earth into another Warworld.
		When Superman had a mental breakdown, decided that he was a danger to Earth, and imposed a self-exile into outer space, he travelled to Warworld.
		When Superman ended his exile, he brought the Eradicator home with him to Earth, where it would proceed to wreak havok in the lives of Superman and those around him.

	Journal of Religion and Film: Superman as Christ-Figure: The American Pop Culture Movie Messiah by Anton Karl Kozlovic
		Superman was totally an extraterrestrial (albeit Earth socialised), while Jesus could be seen as a human-alien hybrid, the fusion of an Earth woman, the Virgin Mary and “the Holy Ghost” (Matt.
		Superman: The Movie (1978) and Superman II (1981) were examined as a protracted secular analogue of the Jesus story.
		The missile that Superman could not stop in time hit the San Andreas fault causing massive destruction, and the subsequent death of Lois Lane when her car is sucked into the fault-line crevice caused by the detonation shock wave.

	Superman. A Hollywood Jesus visual film review.
		In order to raise Lois Lane from her tomb, Superman has to alter time, which he accomplishes by spinning around the earth reversing the rotation of the earth.
		In Superman Lois Lane dies in her tomb-car and is resurrected by Superman.
		When Superman was released in Communist China in 1985 the Worker's Daily called Superman "a brave hero of incomparable strength who clearly distinguishes what to love and hate and culls strength from weakness." Sounds very Christ-like to me.

	Cyborg II
		Superman tried to reason with Henshaw, but he declined to stay on Earth explaining that he was a scientist and that the universe was now his to explore.
		The Cyborg is one of the deadliest of Superman's foes.
		Henshaw framed Superman for the murder of Kandor's leader (Scorn's father), but was exposed by Ashbury who recognised his voice from a time when he tried impersonating one of her teachers.

	An Earth-2 Timeline
		Nelson Bridwell named the Earth in which the Superman whose career started in the 40's and who had many of the Silver Age characteristics, 'Earth 2A.' I have used 2A as a convenient location for stories which contradict Earth 2 continuity but which I think worthy of mention.
		Superman is brought from April 1959 by the "futuremen" Vard and Boka to discover that Earth's oceans are gone, "accidentally dissolved by an atomic experiment" (which evidently killed the remaining JSA members as well).
		DC's decision that all of the heroes published by the Quality Comics line actually began their careers on Earth 2 and then emigrated to Earth X (in which they were notoriously ineffective in battling the Axis powers, as the Nazis won in that parallel) created its own set of problems.

	The Earth-2 Superman!
		Superman trained Kara in the use of her abilities and she eventually took on a super-powered role of her own as Power Girl (All-Star Comics #58), thereby becoming the Earth-2 equivalent of Supergirl.
		In the 1970s, a spaceship arrived from the planet Krypton, sent by his uncle Zor-L. The ship contained his cousin, Kara, who had taken a longer route to Earth but had matured more slowly, being only 20 years old when she arrived on Earth (revealed in Showcase #97).
		Over time, Superman began to experience a bit of melancholy that he alone was the sole survivor of a dead world.

	Earth-Prime Timeline
		Since the Earth-1 Kal-El was sent to Earth when he was about two years old, it is unclear how firmly the rites and forms of Rao-worship penetrated his mind.
		New York is sprawled out all over where Gotham is suppossed to be...Boston suburbs cover Star City...and Metropolis is...Metropolis is nowhere to be seen!".) Superboy of Earth-Prime defeats aliens who attempt to invade Earth-Prime, and even travels to Earth-One, but is warped back to his home by members of the Superman Revenge Squad.
		Supergirl, however, only came to Earth when she was already at least 15, so she would have a definite strong Rao-worship background.

	PULP CULTURE column for Jan. 28, 1999: Alternate Earths
		For years, DC Comics maintained that the Golden Age, WWII-era Superman lived on "Earth 2," while the Superman of the '60s, '70s and '80s lived on "Earth 1." And there were young (Earth 1) and old (Earth 2) versions of Wonder Woman and Batman as well.
		Earths 1 and 2 were joined by Earths S, X, 3, C, Prime and countless others, although few were ever used apart from 1, 2 and S. (Earth S was the home of Captain Marvel and the rest of the Marvel Family.) So, DC's editors decided house cleaning was in order.
		The film alternates between two parallel story lines: one in which she catches the train and the other in which she doesn't.

	PLANETARY/THE BATMAN: NIGHT ON EARTH
		Their universe apparently never developed a Batman; perhaps their Bruce Wayne never existed, or chose a different path without a Superman to emulate (their universe's Superman was killed upon his arrival on earth by William Leather of the Four, as shown in Issue 10).
		This was initially an effort to consolidate DC's sprawling, multi-universe (Earth 1, Earth 2, Earth 3, Earth X, Earth Prime, Earth S...) into one cohesive unit by destroying some universes outright and merging the rest.
		1986 was of course the year the Crisis on Infinite Earths concluded, where DC's surviving multiple universes were supposedly merged into one.

	NEWSARAMA
		Superman is a much more progressive figure than Jesus, and as a science fiction savior rocketed to Earth from a world of wonder, I think the character has the potential to transcend his humble origins and say something quite profound to those of us living in the secular 21st century.
		At that moment, I kid you not, two guys come walking across the rail tracks, and one of them is dressed in the best Superman suit I've seen.
		Superman is very different from Christ in that here we have a powerful redeemer who doesn't feel the need to sacrifice himself to get his point across.
