Issue (Date)

Volume 1: Planetfall

Sonia Sato and Terry Sloan decide to send the surviving twelve ships (with 2 million survivors) falling to the new Earth at strategic locations, where they will form the foundations of new cities. Dick Grayson is left paralyzed near the crash site of the TSS Endurance, which forms New Gotham. He is rescued by Mister Terrific. Aquawoman's people have begun breeding, producing eggs. Sloan's ship, Overwatch-One, remains in orbit as the law keeper. He is regarded by many as a dictator.

Earth 2: Society #1 (Aug. 2015)

7000 people aboard the Aphrodite ship are poisoned by a core ruptured engine. Fury uses the Pandora Vessel, an artifact of ancient Themyscira, to release the Amazons' souls to bond with the dying, a symbiosis.

(Earth 2: Society #11, June 2016)

Survivors discover that the new Earth looks like their old home but the plants and animals are alien. This star system has two suns, one red and one yellow. The TSS Belgica forms New Atlantis; the Aurora, Neotropolis; the Erebus a city of the same name; and another, Midwest City. Sloan sends the Sandmen to steal the Source Vault from Red Arrow and Huntress.

Earth 2: Society #2 (Sept. 2015)

Green Lantern repairs Red Tornado's body. Jimmy Olsen's new powers give him a god complex, and people in Erebus begin to worship him. Hawkgirl sets out to find the TSS Aphrodite, which went missing.

Earth 2: Society #3 (Oct. 2015)

Anarky attacks Neotropolis, built by Superman and Power Girl. When Sloan strikes Anarky's mob, Val and Kara knock out a Sandman and use his teleporter to go to Overwatch-One. They see how Sloan is experimenting with using Bruce Wayne's Source Vault in hopes of recreating their former world. When Sloan tells Kara that Val discovered how to detonate the fire pits, which killed Clark, she lashes out in anger and distances herself from him. This is why Val refuses to take another life. He stays away from Neotropolis and builds the city of Nexus in the desert.

He takes the identity of Doctor Impossible and his first recruit, Rick Tyler, who steals his father's Miraclo from Thomas Wayne's leftover stores. Note: The original Doctor Impossible was a pre-Flashpoint JLA foe who first appeared in Justice League of America vol. 2 #1 (Oct. 2006).
