Lois is an intrepid reporter with the Daily Planet under Perry White and in love with Superman and covers him in her stories. This puts her at odds with her dad General Samuel Lane, who believes aliens to be a threat.

At first depicted as a damsel in distress, Lois proves she can take care of herself due to her military training.
