== Trivia ==
* Lana and Lex never had a romatnic relationship in the comics. 
* In most stories, Lana and Clark are broken up by the time Lois appears on the comics. However in Smallville, Lois was on the show when Clark and Lana were in a relationship. 
* Lana has shown to have died several times on the show (not counting dream sequences): she died once in an alternate timeline and another when she used the Limbo drug. She was thought to have died but she turned out to be hiding out in Shanghai, China.
* In an alternate version of Lex's future, Lana was married to Lex, with a son (Alex Luthor) and a daughter on the way. She was happy with Lex and the family that she had with him. After Lana gave birth to their daughter (Lily Luthor) on Christmas Eve, she started losing blood and died at Lex's side. In a parallel universe in which she never met Clark, Lana lives in France with a husband and two children.
* Lana has had temporary powers on four occasions:
** She once shared a temporary mental link with Gary Watts and another time while possessed by Margaret Isobel Thoreaux, she could cast magic spells.
** She also possessed Clark's powers twice: she acquired his heat vision after sucking his blood and all of his powers after being in close proximity during a lightning storm.
* Lana is the only human to have destroyed a Zoner.
* Lana was shown in a picture in Season Nine's Rabid.
* Outside of Clark's family, Lana is one of only two main characters to figure out that Clark has powers without being told or shown by another person. Lois Lane later picks up this tradition in Season Ten.
* Lana has a lifelong history of meteor rock coming between her and Clark. First, her necklace weakened Clark when he came nearby. Later, she absorbed Kryptonite into her power suit and he was permanently unable to come near her.
* Although Lana wore a meteor rock necklace for several years, she did not experience any health problems related to meteor rock.
