My Earth Two counterpart was born in London in 1922, and went into journalism on leaving school, initially doing menial work for a local newspaper, but eventually writing for the nationals. That reserved occupation kept him out of the fighting in WWII, and he retired in 1988. He now lives in a retirement home in Brighton, and though he's no longer married, he is still in a long term relationship with a widow 25 years his junior who lives in the same place. He has a cat called Dennis.

My E2 counterpart was a plucky big city reporter for the Emerald City Sentinel. Assigned to cover Mayan archaeological excavations in South America, he unearthed a radioactive amulet which was a sacred talisman from that civilization but in actuality was a device left behind by alien visitors. Hid it in his satchel, booked a flight back home, began to feel woozy from the talisman's emanations and was run over by a stampeding mule before take off  |

My E2 Counterpart is a Military Genius strived for glory, honor, and perseverance. His fighting spirit, knowledge, and tactical genius is a combination of MacArthur, Patton, and Bradley all rolled into one. He has the Genius of MacArthur, the Tactics and Fighting Style of Patton, and the Honor of Bradley made him an unbeatable combination of American Blitzkrieg using all the resources and knowledge that he can attain. He started out in East Point and graduated at the top of his class with the rank of 1st (top of his class gets the Silver Bar)  Lieutenant and when World War II started he was a Captain and an aide to General J.J. Pershing and realized that his greatness lies in the battlefields of Central Europe quickly won battlefield promotions until reaching the rank of Brigadier General.  He was wounded twice in World War II winning the Purple Heart Twice, earned two Bronze Stars, one Silver Star, several Commendation Medals, Army Distinguished Medal, and 20 other lesser medals becoming a hero in his own rights and became a household name after World War II is ended. He later accepted a professorship at East Point, Maryland and then Korean War Broke Out and re-applied for Combat Duty and became a Major General on the start of the Korean War and became one of the most feared Generals in Modern Warfare winning several more medals including his 2nd Silver Star and a Bronze Star with Valor Attachment. Then, a New Command Open Up and he was nominated by President H. Truman to become the Commander of the United Nations Corps rising to the Rank of Lieutenant General.  Then, one fateful night he was sleeping and was dreaming another world of where General of the Army Douglas MacArthur was mapping out of plan to invade Inchon and soon he realized that it is his destiny to share this plan to President H. Truman and the Congress of the United States and the United Nations in whole; his plan was reluctantly accepted and did exactly what the his dream told him to do. It was a rousing success and not only that he succeeded he obtained greater glory and honor to his legendary name and the Congress and the President of the United States awarded him the rank of General and General of the Army on the same day and soon Korean War was over and all sides came to a peaceful resolution; he was awarded the Nation's Highest Medal; the Congressional Medal of Honor for his outstanding Generalship in Korean War winning battlefield wars ...   Respectfully Submitted, General of the Army Cain "Bulldog" MarkoCommanding General of United Nation Combined Forces |

My E2 counterpart is 6 ft 2, with a lush head of hair, 20-20 vision, and a standout athlete in school. He goes on to a successful career as a hard-charging corporate executive, rising to the top and becoming CEO of a major international conglomerate, with presidents and prime ministers at his beck and call. Not much different than me, really...
Oh, he also dates Helena Wayne.
So, I got that going for me....er, him!

My Earth-2 counterpart is...me!
Apparently, in 10 years time I find out how and why. It's something to do with China, a poodle called Brian and Twinings Lady Grey tea. I have no other information as to how I lived as I wouldn't tell myself when I met me on my deathbed (which turned out to be the last place I'd look!).
But I was probably a superhero over there. Surely.

Best guess has it that Golden-Age (Earth-2) Phil Maurice was an unpleasant 1940s killjoy, highly skeptical of the then-current rumors about Mayan amulets and women Security Service agents. "I mean, really. Women? In charge of secrets?" That was the coda to one of the last letters Earth-2 Phil Maurice sent home to his true love from a remote location in the Pacific (where he had traveled to de-bunk the idiotic notion that Dinosaurs still existed) before his final, grisly appearance in Star Spangled War Stories #90.  |

We're dealing in folklore here, after all, intermingled with just a little pinch of the truth. . .  Some of this, you're just gonna have to trust me on, son.  |

The Earth-Two Kurt Mitchell was a phenomenal athlete who enjoyed a long career as third baseman for the Seattle Mariners. He retired at age 40, and used the money from his record-breaking salary to open a luxury bed-and-breakfast with his wife, Sandra Bullock, that doubles as a free shelter for abused women and children. In 2016, he parlayed his fame and popularity into a successful presidential run, beating opponent Donald Trump by the widest electoral margin in history. After all, if we're going to indulge in fantasy, why not go all out?
Cei-U!
For the record, he thinks comic books are stupid and the people who read them irredeemable morons!

My Earth-2 counterpart is the guy you can see about 1/3 of his head in the background of the fifth panel on page 12 that is about to get killed by the energy beam sweeping the street.
