      Sorry, but around issue 154 of Justice League of America it was shown
that Earth-Prime unfortunately can have super-heroes. Our first was a guy
named Ultraa who was rocketed to Earth-Prime from a distant planet and was
raised in the wilds of Australia. Some JLA members were transported to E-P
where they foiled a bank robbery and later met Ultraa when an object from
another planet who was hunting Ultraa showed up. I think it had been buried
in the Antartic ever since Ultraa crashed on E-P about twenty years earlier,
but I'm not sure. It's been a long time since I read it.
      Anyway, Ultraa realized that Earth-Prime wasn't set up to handle the
destruction generated by fights between super-powered people and decided to
go to Earth-One with the JLA to live out his days in peace in Earth-One's
Australia. This lasted about twenty issues and he showed up again.
      So, Earth-Prime can have super-heroes (and villians) but I don't
remember reading in the newspapers about the destruction caused to New York
City by the battle mentioned above, except in the JLA comic. Did you people
in New York decide to keep it to yourselves?
