## History

### Early Years

Lois is the older of two children, born to Sam Lane, a career military officer, and Ella Lane. Her father, who desired a son but instead received two daughters, subtly resented his children and treated each of them as if they were members of his unit during their childhoods. This included combat training, and, Lois once admitted, even teaching them to throw knives with their toes. This harsh upbringing made Lois believe that she had to fight to get her rightful share from men in the world.

With her father in the military, Lois and her family moved around a lot while growing up. At the age of fifteen, while her family was living near Metropolis, she approached Perry White at the *Daily Planet* and asked him for a job. Lois lied and said that she was nineteen, but her sister Lucy told Perry the truth. Overhearing some reporters say that whoever got a scoop on Lex Luthor would get on Perry's good side, Lois decided to attempt the seemingly impossible and sneaked into Luthor's tower after dark and tried to steal some files. She was caught by Luthor himself however, who gave her a paddling and sent her on her way. Perry was so impressed that he agreed to hire her anyway.

Lois would quickly rise as a reporter at the *Daily Planet*, winning a coveted Pulitzer Prize early in her career.

Eventually, Lois was invited aboard an experimental space shuttle, the *Constitution*, that was supposed to land at Metropolis Airport. Unfortunately, the shuttle collided with a civilian aircraft that had somehow slipped through the security cordon and began to crash. Suddenly, a mysterious flying man appeared and grabbed hold of the shuttle, guiding it to safety. As soon as the shuttle was on the ground, Lois bursted out of the shuttle to meet her savior, and the two instantly had a chemistry. Lois got the byline for the front-page newspaper story *MYSTERIOUS SUPERMAN SAVES SPACE PLANE!* and thus became the first to call him by the name the whole world would soon know: Superman.
