"He showed that Earth-X had no native super-humans c. 1941 "

The migration thing doesn't account for Plastic Man, who was established on Earth-2 in the earliest issues of A-S.S., but who didn't participate in those "migration" stories in All-Star Squadron (#s 31-35), but who was super-human and did exist in dozens and dozens of Quality Comics comics. If the Earth-2 Plastic Man stayed on Earth-2, then the guy appearing in Police Comics and Plastic Man (and once in Kid Eternity) was an Earth-Quality native. And as shown in Justice League #107, there was an Earth-X version of that character, and unlike the Earth-Quality version, he had died in (or before?) 1944. The migration thing also doesn't account for the Quality Comics version of Manhunter, who was left behind on Earth-2 and (perhaps deservedly) never seen again. The migration thing also doesn't account for Joe Hercules or Stormy Foster, in Hit Comics. It doesn't account for the Clock, Captain Triumph, or Alias the Spider, in Crack Comics. Or Madame Fatal, but never mind him. It doesn't account for Bozo the Iron Man or the Jester in Smash Comics; it doesn't account for Black X / Black Ace in Feature Comics. It really doesn't account for the Blackhawks in Military Comics. It especially doesn't account for Max Mercury / Quicksilver in National Comics. Tor the Magic Master and the Last Merlin are both Earth-Quality natives also. But set all that aside for a second. The personal timelines of the Earth-2 => Earth-X immigrants are all very different from the Earth-Quality versions of those same characters, especially the ones that lived past 1944. This is the original basis of my objection to treating Earth-X as an offshoot or colony or a lesser variant of Earth-2.
