As Thom Kallor aka Star Boy revealed to the assembled heroes of two worlds, the Earth-2 created after the Infinite Crisis was in fact the reconstituted Earth-Two made in its image. As such, life carried on there several years after the original Crisis on Infinite Earths had concluded. Within the Batcave, while interrogating an alternate Power Girl, her counterpart asked if she was a traitor like Judomaster, or a plant of Lex Luthor, or a member of the Crime Society.
These interesting elements of Earth-2 reveal that Sonia Sato existed on that world, assuming the alter ego of Judomaster while gaining the trust... and possible membership... of the Justice Society of America.
On the composite Earth spawned after the first Crisis, Lex Luthor had the foresight to create a clone to house his malevolent mind... and no doubt Alexie Luthor of Earth-2 would have hatched a similar escape plan should he face his own mortality, which he eventually did aboad Brainiac's spaceship. Hence this second incarnation, known by the abbreviated "Lex" carried on his crusade against his former foe's allies (and this would be the adult counterpart of the son of Earth-Three's Alex Luthor, who migrated to Earth-One after the Crisis).

One wonders who such "plants" were within the Justice Society, perhaps some of the second generation heroes such as had appeared on the post-Crisis Earth's Society? Meanwhile Power Girl flew into space for years seeking a Superman in a limbo pocket realm's replica of his world's Metropolis... alongside his wife Lois, Earth-Prime's Superboy and Earth-Three's Alex Luthor. A realm attached to but inaccessible from Earth-2, whose presence is blocked and/or misdirected by Earth-2's Spectre, who returned after the Crisis.
As for the Crime Society, they were a variation of Earth-Three's Crime Syndicate only they mimic the Justice Society just as the Syndicate replicated the Justice League.... certainly not a far-fetched possibility of such a team existing within the Multiverse of infinite variations of Earth. Apparently, the JSA had occasion to clash with their Crime counterparts, apparently without their League allies joining them on that adventure. In fact, this was probably during the occasion when the Cary Bates of Earth-Prime ended up on Earth-Two and most of the Justice Society were "off Earth", as Bates would have shunted them to the Crime Society's world rather than face the entire assemblage of the JSA.
