Bat-Mite left Earth-One for Earth-Prime in an attempt the gain more notoriety using the production staff at DC Comics. After this caper, he disappeared never returning to Earth-One's dimension. While his counterpart, the Thunderbolt of Earth-Two, remained on that world... Mite's presence in his home universe was compensated by another powerhouse. Who might this be?It was Ultraa aka Jack Grey, the sole superhero of Earth-Prime, who first encountered the Justice League when that team accidentally entered that universe. After these costumed crusaders together defeated a computer entity from Grey's homeworld, the League departed back to Earth-One. What they did not know was that they were being followed by the young hero.
Determined not to infect Earth-Prime with what he deemed a plague of super-powered threats there, Ultraa journeyed to Earth-One in order to reverse the trend there as well. Using alien technology, Ultraa depowered the League but errantly gave those stolen energies to the team's rivals in the Injustice Gang. Eventually, the heroes were able to defeat their foes, and imprisoned Ultraa. However, he would escape and twice more battle the League before retiring to the solitude of his new Earth's Australia, similar to where he had been raised as a boy.
Another resident of Earth-Prime, writer Cary Bates, briefly operated on Earth-Two as a pawn of the Injustice Society. Once his fellow author Elliott S. Maggin along with the Justice Society and visiting Justice League defeated the supervillains, Bates and Maggin returned to Earth-Prime.
However, another Spectre from the post-Crisis Earth journeyed to Earth-Two in 1945, and there remained aiding the Justice Society in the artificially created Asgard. And so, both Earths One and Two each had a Spectre remaining on both planets through the 1970s.
