One thing i find a bit confusing with Pre-Crisis villains is how some, like Riddler and Toyman existed on both Earth-Two and Earth-One with no explanation, while others like Penguin and Two-Face are considered separate entities. Why is this?

MrBlonde had a reason for this - best ask him. IIRC, they were treated as the same hcaracter, with their previous history intact. A result of the fuzzy line between Gold and Silver.

For that matter; Why is Adam Strange (Earth-One) and Adam Strange (New Earth) listed as two separate characters? As far as i can tell, they're the same character. Is there a particular reason? I see plenty of Earth-One characters listed on here who became residents of New Earth, with a special note being made that certain elements of their Pre-Crisis history is non-canon to Post-Crisis. I confess, i don't know the character very well, but they seem virtually the same...

I think it's primarily for Adam Strange II (Earth-One)
