The Honorary Members: As we all hopefully know, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman were all honorary members of the Justice Society. In Earth 2 they are the Three Wonders trying to fight back against Apokolips when they attack Earth 2. They all die in the 1st issue but their impact on this world can be seen throughout the comics.
The Flash: Jay Garrick has been updated with a much more magical origin. In this version, Jay has just graduated from college and feels he has nothing to do in life and has no future. Suddenly Mercury, the Roman god of speed and the only god to survive the Apokolips war. He is dying and grants Jay his final gift; The power of speed.
The Green Lantern: This originals Lantern's origins are just as mystical as before! During a train crash, he was granted power by the living force of the Earth to become it defender the Emerald Knight; The Green Lantern. He will fight his arch enemy Grundy to the death in Washington D.C.
Hawkgirl: It unknown if this version of Kendra is the Princess or the Alien, but her origin so far could go in either direction. No one knows where her powers come from, though its known she has connections to the World Army and Al Pratt, The Atom.
The Atom: Al Pratt's alter ego got a total over hall in the New 52. Now an Ex-Soldier and World Army wonder, his powers are more reminiscent of the Atom Smasher than the Atoms. He does not get along with the other members of the team.
Hourman: Rex Tyler may live! He is confirmed to be part of the series and there have been sightings of a Tyler-Chem in the background of the comics. The Flash's Ex-Girlfriend even went to work for Tyler-Chem! Maybe in the depths of a factory, Rex may create his first batch of Miraclo. . .
Mr. Terrific: Now a tragic Anti-Hero, Terry destroyed parts of the world as a sacrifice to win the war. As 'Mr. 8' he goes through dimensions and possible futures, one of which shows him in a Mr. Terrific type costume holding Green Lantern in his hands.
Dr. Fate: The DC universe's 'Sorcerer Supreme is confirmed to be part of Earth 2! Hawkgirl mentions him to Jay Garrick when he says he doesn't believe in fate. Kendra replies "Maybe if you met the guy." He is supposed to appear in Earth 2 #9.
The Sandman: Our dreaming hero has become nothing like before. Losing the Fedora, Trench coat, and Full Face Gas Mask, he is now leader of a section of the World Army known as the Sandmen. He is also supposedly Canadian.
Donna Troy?: In issue #8 the last Amazon shall appear seeking vengeance. Is this a 'fallen sister' that Wonder Woman mentioned earlier? Who knows. . .
Commander Steel: You may be thinking 'Commander Steel? He was never mentioned!" Well that's not true. At the end of #5, when claiming the World Army has other wonders, Mr. Terrific replies that Captain Steel is halfway across the world. Could the Commander have been changed to a captain?
Red Tornado: The Red Tornado is the same deal as The Commander. Mr. Terrific says that the 'Red Tornado Project' is not yet finished. This implies that instead of fatty Hunkel, we're getting the Robot.
Well this has been Comic Contemplation! See you next time, and wait to see the major changes coming in December!
