    Does anyone know the difference between the Superman in the current Justice Society story and the one who died in Infinity Crisis (Kal-L).

    ummm...

    the Kingdom Come Superman is pretty much immune to Kryptonite, if the Superman currently with the JSA is the same as the Kingdom Come Superman that is...

    he's also stronger and faster than the current model.

    Is he from a different timeline or the future?

    both... neither...

    ummm...

    The Kingdom Come earth is now earth 22, it's a separate dimension and also the future...

    The Superman that is currently with the JSA is from Earth 2, as is Powergirl. this is where is gets a bit confusing lol

    i'm attempting to map the entire 52 universe as the series goes on in this thread...

    oh, separate note... earth 2 is just another dimension... i don't think it's actually in the future from our earth, it just has subtle changed, such as Superman's uniform.

    so far only Earth 22 has been set in the future, but there will probably be more as the series goes on

    it gets confusing lol

    the best explenation i can give you is that the different earths, all 52 of them, are Elseworlds...

    http://www.comicvine.com/elseworlds/46699/

    i did a full map of the old ones on that page along with an explanation of 'hypertime', even though these concepts have changed recently, it should still be useful until i get around to writing a new one for the upto date stuff up.

    Thanks for the info Methos. I checked out that site and its seems the The Kingdom Come series is a vision of a alternate future like The Dark Knight series. Am I right?

    Cool. Thanks again. Decided to go buy the Justice Society now since it has that Superman in it.
