re: Crisis on Infinite Earths

It seems that we're going to be left with a single Earth, presumably Earth-1.
Hence, all the rest of the Earths have gotta go.  However, I can't believe
that DC is going to kill of all those other-Earthly heroes.  I think that
they'll get moved to Earth-1.

Earth-1 can absorb the Charlton heroes easily, the Marvel Family with
little trouble, find a place for the Earth-X folk, but good luck absorbing
the Earth-2 heroes!  They're duplicates!
(well, historically, the Earth-1 heroes are the duplicates, but...)

You just can't have two Wonder Women on the same Earth, 
or two Green Lanterns or two Hawkmen.  DC is going to have to git rid of some.

They might:

1)  Kill off the extras.	(Hawkman-2?)
2)  Retire the extras.		(Wonder Woman-2?)
3)  Send them away somewhere	(Superman-2?)

Any other ideas?
