Earth-2

Earth-2 is an alternate reality featured in the DC Television Universe. appeared on the CW Network series The Flash, and was first seen in the second episode of season two, "Flash of Two Worlds".

There are two locations of note that have appeared relating to Earth-2. The primary location is Central City, which is a vibrant metropolitan American city and is where S.T.A.R. Labs is headquartered. The other is a jungle environment, presumably somewhere in Africa, that appears to be ruled by a breed of sentient gorillas. It may even be called "Gorilla City".

On Earth-2, the most notable costumed super-hero was a man named Jay Garrick, also known as the Flash. The real Jay Garrick was captured and imprisoned by a man named Zoom, who then took his name and costume and used them to pretend to be the city's hero. The fake Jay Garrick found a way through the dimensional breach linking Earth-2 to Earth-1, where he insinuated himself into that world's environment and briefly became a member of Team Flash.

Points of interest

 * Central City: Central City is a large city that seems to be in the midst of a scientific Golden Age of innovation and prosperity. Much of this has come about due to the efforts of Harrison Wells, the former director of S.T.A.R. Labs.


 * Gorilla City: Gorilla City is a jungle environment, presumably located in Africa. It is implied that an intelligent race of gorillas inhabits the region, as there is evidence of structures, and statuary. On Earth-1, the members of Team Flash had to come up with a solution for how to deal with a rampaging genetically enhanced gorilla named Grodd, so they pushed him through a dimensional breach, depositing him in the jungle of Earth-2, where they had hoped that he might one day find peace among his own kind.


 * S.T.A.R. Labs: The Scientific Technology and Research Laboratory, or S.T.A.R. Labs, was founded in 1991, and led the world in the development of exciting and new experimental technological discoveries. They specialized in artificial intelligence, genetics, and metahuman-related research.
