Lois Lane

**Lois Joanne Lane** is a renowned reporter working for the *Daily Planet*, Clark Kent's wife, and the bold outspoken cousin of Chloe Sullivan. Prior to that, she was a waitress at the Talon, campaign manager for Jonathan Kent when he ran for Kansas State Senate, chief of staff for Martha Kent as a U.S. Senator for Kansas, and a reporter for the *Metropolis Inquisitor*.

Since living at the Kent Farm for most of what should have been her freshman year of college, Lois has grown quite close to the Kents, even seeing Martha Kent as the mother she never had. Her relationship with Clark was initially full of teasing that sometimes got the best of them; however, they also looked after each other and offered each other advice. Eventually Lois and Clark became each other's closest friends outside of Chloe, but their teasing continued without fail.

### Powers and Abilities

**Physical Prowess:** Lois gets daily exercise by running, swimming, and practicing martial arts. During her many exploits, Lois often demonstrates her above average athleticism. For example, she was able to easily pin Clark Kent while she was under the influence of Isis, even though (powers or no powers) he is much bigger than she is.

**Highly Skilled Hand-to Hand Combatant**: Lois had earned a third-degree black belt in Karate by the events of *Fade* and as such, she could already take down multiple people larger than herself. Throughout the series Lois has been able to hold her own in many fights. Following her first arrival in Smallville, Lois was able to defeat an armed soldier with ease. Lois also would have defeated the deadly assassin Roulette in hand-to-hand combat if Roulette hadn't had put a gun to her head at the last second. She along with Nightwing were able to hold her own against multiple armed men. Lois has proven to be one of the best non-superpowered combatants out there, being able to stand her ground against some of the best hand-to-hand combatants in the world, including the superhero Green Arrow.

**Weapons proficiency:** Lois has been seen firing side arms and sniper rifles with a great skill. She also can throw knives (as well as other things) with a deadly accuracy.

**Expert Investigative Journalist**: Perhaps Lois's greatest gift is her skill in investigative journalism. Despite not acquiring a college degree in journalism, Lois's innate investigative skills have allowed her to rise through the ranks of reporting with tremendous speed. She started working for the *Metropolis Inquisitor* for a short period of time, but after she wrote an expose on paranormal events, she was asked by an editor to work for *The* *Daily Planet*, the most influential news paper in the United States. After only three years of working in the *Planet's* basement offices, Lois was promoted to the penthouse offices of the Senior Correspondents. Perry White, a former award-winning reporter, said that Lois's skill with investigative journalism will take her to unbelievable heights of success. Lois is now considered the best reporter in *The Daily Planet* and one of the greatest journalists of her time. She has been able to uncover multiple, large-scale conspiracies throughout the course of her career. For example, she was able to find out Tess was trapped in Lex's mind as an artificial being. Her prodigious investigative skills have also allowed her to gain honorary membership in the **Justice League** as their investigator. When it comes to investigative reporting, Lois Lane has no equal.

**Military Knowledge:** As a military-brat, and daughter of General Sam Lane, Lois is strategic and won't back down easily. Her years of living on different military bases around the world have taught her much about military operations and strategy. Her knowledge of the inner-workings of the military has proven very useful in her investigations, especially when they involve warfare. Whenever Lois is in a combat situation, she uses clever tactics in order to survive. Her most commonly used tactics are distraction, persuasion, and surprise.

**Alcohol Tolerance:** She has an impressive alcohol tolerance, able to drink extensive amounts of alcohol and maintain consciousness. She won a drinking contest with a football player in *Recruit* and against Carter Hall in *Shield*.

### Weaknesses

As a human, Lois is susceptible to many frailties:

* She was killed with a knife but brought to life by her cousin Chloe's resurrection power.
* She was infected with the zombie virus but cured by an antidote created by Clark Kent's blood.

Still, considering the numerous dangers she faces on a daily basis, it is quite impressive that she has not "died" more than twice. Many other members of Smallville have died many more times than this.

### Origins

Lois is the daughter of General Sam Lane and Ella Lane. Lois was born around 1986; she was about three or four when the first meteor shower hit Smallville. Lois spent her formative years as an army brat, following her career military father around the world. Her mother died from cancer when Lois and her younger sister, Lucy were both very young; Lois was six at the time. Later, Sam sent Lucy to boarding school, while Lois traveled around with him during her youth. She had a school romances with Wes Keenan, who was also an army brat and had a childhood romance with him in grade school. Later in her high school years, Lois had an M1 Abrams Tank take her to prom. Lois also dated Steve Trevor at one point.

### Season 4-5

Lois came to Smallville to investigate Chloe Sullivan's murder, after she found a video diary Chloe made addressed to Clark Kent, regarding her information on Lionel Luthor. Driving through the countryside, a bolt of lightning struck the cornfield in front of her. When she got out to investigate, she found a naked and disoriented Clark Kent, returned to Earth as Kal-El. Lois took him to the Smallville Medical Center where he was recognized by his mother, Martha Kent.

Upon learning that she had indeed found Clark Kent, Lois visited the Kent Farm the next day to ask Martha if they knew anything about Chloe's death. Martha warned her not to get tangled with Lionel Luthor. When Kal-El was restored as Clark, he offered to help her solve Chloe's death. They investigated together and found Chloe alive. Lois stayed with the Kents until her father, General Lane came to collect her, she then left to start her first semester at Metropolis University.

However, she later learned that she failed her last semester of high school, as she did not have enough credits to graduate. General Lane ordered her to enroll in Smallville High to finish. The Kents again offered to let her stay and she did so while she attended high school.

During her time at Smallville High, Lois wrote for the school newspaper, the *Smallville Torch*. Although Lois did not seem enthusiastic about journalism, she often teamed up with Clark and Chloe for various investigations as they worked together to find out the truth about meteor infected humans in Smallville.

She helped investigate a strange love potion that infected Chloe and wrote an article about plastic surgery that won her some acclaim from *Torch* readers. Through it all, Lois and Clark continued to squabble, trading sarcastic remarks back and forth and generally frustrating each other.

On Chloe's eighteenth birthday, Lois was possessed by a 17th Century witch, Brianna Withridge. With Lana and Chloe also possessed by witches themselves, they joined a wild party and stripped Clark of his powers. When he recovered his powers, all three girls were restored to normal.

Later, Lois pleaded to the dean while, in addition, Clark asked Lex Luthor to pull some strings and she was allowed to attend Metropolis University.

After Clark (under the influence of red kryptonite) and Alicia Baker attempted to wed in Las Vegas, Lois was shown to be very critical of their relationship, even making inappropriate and public comments about it. Meanwhile, Lois went on a date with Tim Westcott and found out he was trying to murder Jason and Lana because of their unnatural relationship (age difference). Tim then proceeded to kill Alicia, angering Clark almost to the point of murdering Tim, Lois was able to reach out to Clark and stopped him from killing Tim.

Shortly after it began, Lois's stint in college came to a disastrous end when she was wrongly accused of attacking a Met U football player and expelled for violating the drinking policy. When she discovered the real assailant, Geoff Johns, he proceeded to paralyze her, placing her in an underground water tank to drown. Clark saved her just in time. Unable to admit to her father what had happened, she asked the Kents if she could come back to stay with them until she figured something out.

While returning to the Kent farm to set up residence, she accidentally hit a dog with kryptonite-induced super strength. The dogs original owners were using "Einstein" and another dog to rob people, but "Einstein" ended up turning against his owners and bonded with Clark and Lois, even though she is allergic to dogs. Lois suggested naming the dog "Clarky" because he had a talent for annoying her, but in the end they decided on naming him "Shelby" after Martha's childhood dog.

Lois was reunited with her sister, Lucy, who came to Smallville to ask her sister to help her resolve a situation with a European loan shark. The two were later kidnapped during Lucy's attempt to extort money from Lex. When Lucy skipped town with Lex's money, Lois blamed herself for the way Lucy turned out. For the first time, Lois talked to Clark openly about how her father brought her up. And Clark assures Lois that she is a good big sister.

Around the time of Clark's prom, a student named Dawn Stiles began to possess people in Smallville. After Dawn possessed Lois, she and Clark went to prom together, resulting in much confusion for Lois when her own personality was restored. Although Clark offered to dance with her, she encouraged him to dance with Lana instead.

On the way home one evening, Lois hit a dog, Shelby, and brought him to the Kent Farm. The dog turned out to possess super-strength and Clark decided to keep him. Soon afterwards, Lois also joined Martha Kent as a part-time waitress in Talon.

On Clark's last day of high school, Lois helped him locate Chloe and Lana, who had both gone missing. Suspecting Brendan Nash took them, Clark and Lois located a warehouse in which Brendan had set up a fake high school. Lois found her own way inside, but she was attacked by Brendan and converted into a wax statue. Brendan almost shattered her with a bat, but Clark blocked the strike and saved all three girls from being killed; when Brendan died, she and the others were restored to normal.

The day of Clark's high school graduation, Lois announced to the Kents that she and her father would be leaving to go find her sister. However, the second meteor shower prevented her from leaving and she watched the devastation that laid waste to the town.

After the meteor shower of 2005, Lois went to look for the Kents at the barn and found them both alive, but Martha was seriously injured. She helped Jonathan take her to the hospital where she was assaulted by Kryptonians Nam-Ek and Aethyr. They let her go when Lana Lang diverted their attention by telling them what they wanted to know. Lois then continued her original plan to leave with General Lane in search of her sister.

Soon afterward, Lois returned to Smallville and moved back into Kent Farm and got her old job back at the Talon, much to the annoyance of Clark. At Crater Lake, Lois hit her head while diving and almost drowned. Clark went in to save her, but was beat by an another swimmer, A.C. They connected and kissed, but was caught by Clark walking in on them. Clark became extremely rude to Arthur, and Lois told Clark to back off, thinking that he's jealous of Arthur. Clark and Lois eventually made up and soon afterward Arthur Curry left town. Lois was very disappointed, but Clark told her that she'll find someone more special than Arthur someday.

Lois and Chloe found themselves in the middle of a murder investigation after receiving a call from an exotic dancer from the Windgate Club. Lois is forced into an uncomfortable position when they get caught by being passed off as a dancer, and is forced to perform in order to continue the investigation. She is almost taken out of the country until she was saved unknowingly by Clark, She thanks Clark for his efforts in saving her and they part as friends.

Shortly after, Lois moved out of the Kent's and into the apartment above the Talon and started to spend more time with Chloe in the nights at the Daily Planet.

During Jonathan and Lex's Senate race, Lois confronted Lex and suggested he bow out before someone dug up incriminating information on him. Lex was unconcerned, which fueled her passion even more. She convinced Chloe to help her dig up information on Lex that would make him lose the race. They attempted to investigate Warehouse 15, but were thwarted by security. Lois was disappointed to come up empty-handed, and Chloe suggested she become a reporter. Lois commented that she would never be able to stand all of the unanswered questions.

After Lois criticized the image his campaign manager was portraying of Jonathan Kent, Jonathan fired him and hired Lois to manage his bid for Senate. She hung up posters, arranged rallies, and managed his finances. When Samantha Drake a student obsessed with Lex Luthor attempted to kill Jonathan, she tried to force Lois to shoot him. With Clark's help (he caught the bullet), Lois was able to fight her off.

When Jonathan confronted her about taking money from Lionel Luthor, she did not inform him that it was Martha who originally accepted Lionel's offer and instead took the blame herself. Later, when Martha clarified the situation, Jonathan apologized to her.

The day Jonathan won the election actually happened twice, due to Jor-El reversing time - the second time Lois was about to get electrocuted from falling off of a stool in the Talon apartment, she was saved by Clark instead of Lana. She later attended Jonathan's funeral with Chloe soon after.

When Chloe was possessed by the spirit of a murdered girl, she seemingly tried to kill herself and Lois took her to the hospital. Lois felt guilty about Chloe's condition and was extremely concerned for her safety. Later, Lois and Chloe were abducted by the girl's killer Michael Westmore, who almost killed them both. With Clark's help, they were able to free Chloe from the spirit and escape being murdered.

Lois was the first to encounter a hypnotized Clark after he met the evil Simone after seeing them making out behind the Talon. Chloe enlisted Lois' help to try and stop Clark from leaving with Simone and killing Lex. When Martha became hypnotized as well, she almost shot Lois, but Chloe stopped her just in time.

When Martha's chief of staff was murdered, she took in her foster daughter, Maddie Van Horn. However, while Lois was in charge of watching Maddie, she encountered Maddie's murderous father, Tyler McKnight. Lois was injured when McKnight shattered a car window and sent the glass flying towards her. Lois felt great guilt and disappointment with herself for letting Maddie get taken. Martha later hired Lois as her new Chief of Staff.

Lois was wined and dined by the wealthy Graham Garrett after Clark saved his life and he met her at Clark's house. He began to lavish her with expensive and exotic dates and Lois started to feel more attracted to him. Without her knowing, Garret began to spy on her and after Chloe revealed Graham to be a hired hit-man and a killer, Lois talked to Martha about why she always attracted to bad boys, but Martha assured her that she had similar experiences at Lois' age, and tells Lois that the reason they date the wrong people is so that they can recognize the right person.

On Clark's birthday, Lois made him an irregular blue rum cake and gave him a journal, so that he would hopefully find some way to release all the feelings he kept bottled up about Lana and maybe move on with his life. Later, Lois met Lana at the Talon and realized that she was in a relationship with Lex and offered an ear and had a three hour conversation with Lana about the status of her relationship with Lex. When Clark was depressed because of the developing relationship between Lex and Lana, Lois tried to reassure him by reminding him he will find someone someday that may not be Lana.

When Martha and Lois were scheduled to attend a conference in Washington D.C., their flight was cancelled and then Lionel offered them the LuthorCorp jet and Martha accepted. When they started noticing certain surroundings that shouldn't be there like mountains in the distance, Lois tries to get a hold of the pilot to find out what was going on, but he didn't respond as the pilot turned out to be Brainiac leading them to their demise. She tried to get the door open and starts to realize that he turned the oxygen off which made Martha pass out but Lois was able to get the emergency oxygen tank out, but she soon passed out as well before she could reach for them and actually use them.

### Season 6-7

Lois and Martha's plane crashed near the Fortress of Solitude. She awakened for a time while there, but later told at the hospital that she only vaguely remembered the structure and thought it was heaven. Clark told her that maybe she hallucinated, but she insisted that it was real. Clark expressed that he was glad she was okay and spontaneously hold her hand, making Lois uncomfortable and she awkwardly pulled away.

Lois was jogging when the Kents' barn door came crashing out of the sky and land close to her. She was determined to discover what made it fly off the barn and relentlessly investigated, despite Chloe's attempts to get her to drop the subject. She wrote an article for the *Daily Planet*, but Chloe discouraged her, trying to protect Clark, and seemingly doubting it was good enough to be published. Undeterred, she successfully shopped her story to the *Metropolis Inquisitor* and received her first byline and then she began moonlighting for the *Inquisitor*.

Lois was close to accepting a job when she met Oliver Queen and accidentally insulted him, thinking he was the messenger boy for Queen Industries. She was sternly chastised by Martha and went to his loft to apologize. He accepted, but only if she attended Lex Luthor's costume ball as his date. At the end of the night, she denied Oliver a kiss, saying he would have to earn it.

Enamored, Oliver continued to woo her, and they began a relationship. When Oliver met Clark, he commented on Clark's "feelings" for Lois, which both Lois and Clark quickly brushed off. While attending a fund-raiser with Oliver, Lois witnessed the Green Arrow stealing a rare diamond necklace off Martha's neck and vowed to find the man behind the mask. She wrote an article about him, dubbing him the "Green Arrow Bandit." Later, she was captured by crooks who also wanted to know who the Green Arrow was and was rescued by the Green Arrow himself. Lois blamed him for her harrowing experience and was about to unmask him until Clark ensured Oliver a quick escape route. Later, she told Oliver that she would not give up until she unmasked Green Arrow. She told him that she considers the Green Arrow dangerous, making Oliver concerned and worried.

Lois went with Oliver to an alumni event for Excelsior Academy and was by Oliver's side when two of his childhood friends were brutally murdered by an unseen force. She worked with Clark to investigate the mysterious deaths, intending to write a story about it. However, when she learned that the culprit was the astral projection of paralyzed Duncan Allenmeyer, who had had experimental therapy, Lois abruptly stopped, as she thought it best not to write her story given the circumstances.

Tired of his disappearing acts, Lois decided to break up with Oliver, who often left her alone for his duties as Green Arrow. Looking for Oliver, Lois encountered the Green Arrow, who threw her into a glass table and sent her to the hospital. Clark told Lois about Oliver's use of an intravenous drug, and Lois believed it explained his erratic behavior. Oliver quit taking the drug and asked Lois to take him back. She did, and they attended the Kent Thanksgiving dinner as a couple.

Lois paid Jimmy Olsen for possible footage of the Green Arrow. However, all Jimmy got was images of Green Arrow's arms and legs. Lois began to suspect Oliver was the Green Arrow and enlisted Clark's help to prove it. However, Clark and Oliver worked together to throw her off by having Clark wear Oliver's costume and end her suspicions. With Clark in Oliver's costume, they shared their first kiss, unknown to Lois. Clark's reaction to the kiss show that he enjoyed the experience, later Clark was very pleased as Lois told her tale of her kiss with the 'Green Arrow', admitting that the Green Arrow (Clark) is better kisser then Oliver.

Lois and Oliver's relationship continued until Lois confronted Oliver on his tendency to always disappear in the middle of their dates. Oliver tried to make it up to her by promising a romantic vacation. However, before their departure, Oliver backed out on the trip again due to his commitments to the Justice League and Lois declared that she would not be waiting for him. He told her that he wasn't planning on coming back to Metropolis and they parted ways in a tearful and emotional breakup.

Unable to overcome her breakup with Oliver, at a Valentine's Day party at the Talon, Lois unknowingly bought a lipstick containing a red kryptonite-based aphrodisiac and became infatuated with Clark. She started to try to seduce him and after she infected Clark with a kiss, the two almost had sex at the Queen Tower until Clark saw the engagement invitation of Lana and Lex wedding and decided to crash the party with Lois. After Clark rebuffed Lois and left with Lana, she almost hurt Chloe, but Jimmy sprayed her with the antidote and Lois when back to herself, with no knowledge of the events. The next day Lois uncomfortably showed Clark the tattoo on her breast and vaguely tried to ask him if they slept together. Clark was amused by the whole situation. He didn't tell her the whole story, but he did show her the CD she made for him, and she was clearly embarrassed.

Lois was desperate for a story for the *Inquisitor*. While Chloe and Clark were investigating a lethal Internet fight club, she discovered the location of the club. When she arrived, she was caught by Athena and told her she was a stripper from a nearby strip club. She convinced her that she needed help and promised to leave her name at the front door, claiming she did a "killer stars and stripes routine". After she departed, she snapped pictures and was caught by Athena. They engaged in a fight and Lois was the victor, but was forced to fight after getting caught by Richtor Maddox at gunpoint. She was about to fight Clark by force but then Titan showed up, she was knocked unconscious.

When Lana Luthor was shot at the *Daily Planet*, Lois was determined to find out what she was trying to expose. She stole Lana's cigarette case from the crime scene and discovered a flash drive belonging to Lex. The drive contained a video of a meeting between Lex and Senator Ed Burke discussing Project Ares. However, Lionel Luthor guessed her involvement and took the flash drive from her. He warned her that whoever had targeted Lana wouldn't hesitate to do away with her as well.

Lois confronted Senator Burke outside an alley and witnessed his murder by the invisible Wes Keenan. When he showed himself, Lois was shocked to recognize him as a childhood friend. The Kents suggested Lois stay on the farm for protection from Wes, but he located her anyway. However, their shared history caused Wes to disobey his orders to kill her and he apprehended her instead. With Lois' help, Wes was able to fend off his mind control long enough to explain what happened to him. Clark and Chloe tracked them down to an old military base and Clark was, able to save Wes from killing Lois, unseen. Wes died in Lois' arms, stating he'd rather be dead than used as a weapon, and repeating a string of numbers.

Wes' death motivated Lois to get to the bottom of Project Ares, so she studied the numbers that Wes died repeating, until she realized they were latitude and longitude coordinates. She tracked it down to Reeves Dam, but when she got there, Lois was confronted by a guard who stabbed her in the stomach. Lois was able to call Chloe for help before she passed out. Chloe found Lois near death from blood loss and began to cry. Mysteriously, her tears healed Lois' stab wound and she recovered, horrified to find that Chloe was the one near death, and the dam crumbling, trapping them inside.

In the collapsed dam, Lois encountered Philipe Lamont, the boy previously possessed by Bizarro while trying to escape. Clark heard her calling for help and took all three to the hospital where the doctors tried to revive Chloe. Restless, Lois instructed Clark to stay with Chloe while she went to the Luthor Mansion to search for clues that pointed to Lex's involvement with the project. There, she ran into Bizarro, who had taken Clark's form. Mistaking him for Clark, she was angered when he made a pass at her and slapped him across his face. Later, Lois deduced that "Clark"'s odd behavior was due to his grief over Lana Lang's reported death, and sincerely offered her condolences.

Lois was determined to investigate the dam and after discovered a red spaceship with Clark, she took a picture with her cell phone but it was crushed by a blonde woman, who knocked Lois out. Lois visited Chloe at work at *Daily Planet* and tried to convince her that she'd seen a UFO but Chloe refused the idea. Then the new editor of the newspaper offered Lois a job if she could write a good story about her spaceship. Although Lois wrote her story, but had no photograph to accompany it, so Grant declared that he would not publish it, but would still hire her at the *Daily Planet*.

Lois became Grant's ingenue, getting sent on prestigious and exciting out-of-town assignments. However, she was still interested in proving Lex Luthor's role in the Reeves Dam project.

Against Grant's assignments, she chose to investigate the purchase of land close to the dam, authorized by someone with the initials "LL". She sneaked into LuthorCorp but was quickly caught and thrown out by Lex Luthor. Grant asked Lois to accompany him to a social function, but she turned him down. However, Lois and Grant became increasingly close.

Lois was casually visiting Grant in his office when they were suddenly interrupted by Lana, who had stolen evidence of Lex's projects and demanded they print the story. When Grant refused to do so, Lana assaulted him and Lois tried to fend her off but Lana threw her through a glass door, knocking her unconscious. After recovering at the hospital, Grant brought her flowers and tried to warn her off the Luthor story. Lois acknowledged their growing attraction, but she refused to back off.

Lois and Grant finally began a relationship while she continued to cover big stories for him. They were unwittingly seen making out by Chloe, who was furious that Lois would endanger her own career by having a relationship with Grant. She warned Lois to break up with Grant, and Lois attempted to do so, but ultimately, she and Grant agreed to continue their relationship but keep it a secret.

On Christmas, Lois was assigned to write an exposé on Lex but that same day at work, Lois received a call of a man that manipulated Lois into following out his orders to write an article about Lex projects by placing a bomb on Chloe and trapping her in a non-functioning elevator. The caller revealed himself to be Adrian Cross and told Lois he was a clone created by Lex. He directed her to enter the interview wired and armed, but she was unable to force a confession out of Lex before he knocked her unconscious. As a result, Lois missed the revelation that Grant Gabriel was a clone of Lex's dead infant brother. Later, Gabriel visited Lois at her home. Sure she was going to be fired. Lois want to continue dating, but Gabriel suggest that it was a bad idea for them to work and date at the same places, Gabriel decide to broke up with Lois.

Shortly afterward, Lois discovered Oliver had returned to Metropolis and went to the Queen Tower to confront him. They were attacked by a female vigilante hired by Lex to kidnap Green Arrow and then Lois learned that Oliver *was* Green Arrow. When Clark and Chloe rescued her, she tried to keep Oliver's identity a secret but was surprised to find out that they already knew. Before he left town again, Oliver asked if they might try to make it work, but Lois was unwilling. She later tearfully confessed to Clark that she loved him, but would not be able to handle his greater cause and would always resent being left behind. Clark offered his support and they exchanged a solemn hug.

Lois followed Lex when he managed to track Kara down to Detroit, Michigan. Lois and Kara were later held captive by the psychotic busboy Finley, but escaped and (unknowingly) were saved by Clark.

Lois started researching about the death of Patricia Swann, with Jimmy Olsen as her sidekick. The two later went undercover as janitors to see how Lionel Luthor was involved. Lois and Jimmy later discovered that Lionel went to see Lana at the Isis Foundation, and they learned that Lex was behind the murder of Patricia, not Lionel.

As Clark and Chloe were working on a search for Brainiac, Lois rushed in to inform the two about Lionel Luthor committed suicide by jumping from his office window. Lois and Jimmy found a picture of Lionel being pushed from his office window. When they went to go to the Isis Foundation, they were caught by Lex’s assistant and held at gunpoint by her. Lois was shot for trying to stop her, and was placed in a freezer with Jimmy to make sure they don't expose Lex for murdering his father. Clark used his heat vision to keep them warm to prevent them from dying of hypothermia.

After Lana went in catatonic state, Lois tried to support Clark and help him with Lana's condition as he helped her when she had to break things off with Oliver.

Lois suggested Clark apply for an internship at the *Daily Planet*, saying that he's meant for more than farm work. He refuses the offer and tells her that he can never work for Lex Luthor. Then she asked him about his and Lex’s past friendship and how that lasted for so long because they had nothing in common with one another, but Clark just said that sometimes people don't turn out to be who you expect.

Lois then began digging into Lex's excursions to the Arctic Circle, but Jimmy was set up by Lex to throw her off the track. She believed Jimmy, but was still skeptical about Lex's activities. Lois arrived at the Kent house just as Clark finished viewing a break-up video left for him by Lana Lang. She offered support by giving a devastated Clark a comforting hug.

### Season 8-10

Lois snuck into the Luthor Mansion, dressed as a maid, looking for evidence of her cousin's disappearance, but was immediately recognized by Lex's assistant, Tess Mercer, but not before stealing a thumb drive containing possible information about Chloe. She learned that Chloe was being held in a secret base in Montana and set about finding her. She unexpectedly ran into Clark Kent, who was present with Oliver Queen, also on a mission to save Chloe. They located Chloe, but Lois was tasered unconscious. Back at work, she was working late when Clark unexpectedly arrived to tell her that he had taken her advice and decided to get a job at the *Daily Planet*.

On Clark´s first day at the Planet, Lois helped him by telling him to change his clothes in a phone booth and giving him tips on how to impress their new boss. Later she helped Clark investigate a bus crash outside the *Planet* building and used her own resources to gain information. Together they discovered that Bette Sans Souci was the meteor freak that caused the bus to explode. Soon after, Lois wrote the story, earning herself a front-page headline.

When Oliver falls poisoned, Tess told Lois to cover the story on Oliver and put in doubt her professionalism. Lois helped Davis Bloome to cure Oliver and told Davis to do whatever it takes to keep him alive. The situation make Lois wondered if she made the right decision to break up with Oliver and later decided not to do the story about him because of his near death experience and her feelings for him.

Lois decided to team up with Clark on a story about a man who died of extremely high hormone levels. She was shocked to find Clark under a spell and making out with a strange redhead woman in the elevator. When Clark sees Lois he is able to break the spell, Clark tries to explain to Lois, who is angry at his behavior. Maxima then tried to kill Lois, and tells Lois that Clark would never have be able to break away from her, if it wasn't for his attraction to Lois. Clark speeds Maxima away just before she hurts Lois. Later, Clark has a discussion about soul mates with Lois, fearing that maybe she is right in front of him and he's too blind to see it, but Lois assures Clark that when he meets the right girl he will know.

At Chloe and Jimmy's engagement party, Lois got drunk and felt embarrassed, after making a bad toast about Jimmy and Chloe, ending with hung-over at the Kent Farm. After learning that Chloe and Jimmy never returned home the night before, Lois and Clark then teamed up to find them and she suggested that they pose as an engaged couple to attract the kidnapper. Her plan was successful and she ended up being kidnapped by a psychotic jeweler and was forced to admit her feelings for Clark, in order to save him from electric shock. After Clark saved a clearly embarrassed Lois, she attempted to avoid Clark and claimed she removed the sensor and lied about her feelings.

When Jimmy approached Lois about his developing story on a mysterious savior in Metropolis, Lois was skeptical until she was saved by the savior twice after being trapped in the middle of Tess's search for the Crystal of Knowledge. Lois declared that she would find the identity of the hero as well as have the first interview with the world wide hero.

Lois decided to take up Clark´s offer to move into the Kent Farm, but they were sucked into the Phantom Zone together due to the Crystal of Knowledge. Clark was able to send Lois back with the help of Kara, however Lois became possessed by Faora, who used Lois' body to locate her son. Clark and Kara vanquish Faora from Lois's body and she thought she had hallucinated the entire experience. After Tess gave her a raise at work, Lois changed her mind about living at the Kent Farm after all.

The day of Chloe and Jimmy's wedding, Lois, as the Maid of Honor, was responsible for coordinating the wedding at Clark's farm. When Jimmy suggested Clark might be interested in her, Lois denied they had an attraction. During the wedding, Clark offered Lois a dance and they almost kiss, but were interrupted by Lana Lang's sudden arrival. Lois was upset and disappointed, and later when Chloe's wedding was interrupted by a horrible monster, Lois accompanied a gravely-injured Jimmy Olsen to Star City while he received treatment. She told Clark she would stay there until she heard from Chloe again.

Lois stays about a month in Star City with Jimmy. During this time, Chloe mentioned to Clark that she knows that Lois has feelings for him and that Clark shouldn't hurt her. Lois only returns after Lana has already left.

When Clark meets Linda Lake, she threatened to tell the world his secret. Clark decided to tell Lois his secret and have her write his story first. Things quickly went from bad to worse. After Clark is wanted by the government, he decided to rewrite time with the Legion ring. Lois is upset because she knows he would not tell her his secret again, Clark reassured her it is because she is special and he wanted to protect her.

After Clark rewrites time he picked Lois up from the airport, Lois told him to meet with her to talk about their kiss. Despite Clark showing up he sent her a text message saying he was held up and couldn't make it. Lois clearly disappointed, texted back saying that she couldn't make it there either.

On Chloe's birthday, Lois was assigned to go to Mexico, and while there, Chloe became Lois for one day due to a spell. After Lois returned, she questioned Clark on when he realized Chloe wasn't her and wanted to see the framed copies of her rules that Chloe told her about.

After Lois realized that her journalistic achievements were not advancing, she assumed that an interview or a story about

Clark and Lois made plans to attend a Monster Truck Rally, and Lois felt that this could be the beginning of a great relationship between the two, as she expressed to Chloe.

Lois was concerned for Oliver once she heard about his suicide attempt and investigated his disappearance, which led her to Victoria Sinclair.

Lois left Metropolis to reflect on the possibility of pursuing a relationship with Clark. She remained distracted by her vivid vision of her and Clark and she went to a therapist to discuss it.

During a phone call with the Blur, a phone glitch revealed the voice of Clark Kent, much to Lois' shock. After discovering the Blur's identity, Lois defended him against the crooked District Attorney who was using a series of super blunders caused by The Wonder Twins to discredit the Blur. However, this put Lois in the District Attorney's crosshairs and he tried to kill her. To redeem themselves, The Wonder Twins saved Lois and disproved her theory that Clark was the Blur.

Upon returning home, Lois received a phone call from Zod masquerading as The Blur asking for help to secretly retrieve information about Tess, which Lois agreed to.

Soon after, Lois went undercover in one of Tess' secret labs and inadvertently discovered the whereabouts of John Corben, who saved her from an explosion. In return for saving her, Lois helped John to find kryptonite to recharge his weakened heart and tried to get him out of Metropolis, but they were intercepted by one of Tess' agents. Lois returned to the secret lab in the hope of finding Corben but instead met Tess and confronted her, but Chloe chloroformed her unconscious and took her away. John found Lois one last time and she took advantage to give him the Red kryptonite heart that she stole from Tess and made it clear she was in love with someone else.

Sometime later, Lois hoped to move things forward in her relationship with Clark by being more open about her secrets, but the new editor at the Daily Planet threw a spanner in the works when he forced Lois and Clark to fight for the same job. Lois investigated the early prison release of Ray Sacks by confronting Sacks but then was almost killed until the Blur rescued her. However, during the rescue someone took a photo of the Blur and Lois repaid the Blur by destroying the photo.

Lois then realized that she could never know the Blur's identity and the Blur ended his relationship with Lois.

Perry repaid Lois by getting their jobs back at the Planet. Afterwards, a letter appeared claiming to be The Blur wanting to meet her face to face, despite his call ending their relationship.

A confused Lois went to a rooftop to meet the Blur and Zod convinced her that he was the actually Blur and called upon Lois for her help, telling her that Clark had been hiding secrets from her and that he wasn't who he said he was. Lois did as Zod asked and looked through Clark's things. She tried to make one last attempt to get him to open up, but when he refused, they shared an emotional goodbye.

Once she had the Book of Rao, she almost gave it to Zod until she realized he wasn't the Blur, which made Zod fly into a rage and he almost killed Lois, until Clark saved her. He then gave her a passionate kiss while hidden in the shadows and Lois came to the realization and amazement that the Blur and Clark were the same person.

Lois was horrified to discover Clark’s lifeless body on the street and removed the blue kryptonite knife from his body enabling him to heal himself. She then investigated Clark's previous saves and arranged to meet Clark to discuss their relationship at the barn. While she was waiting in Clark's loft, the clone of Lex Luthor appeared and took her to Riley Field to be strung up as a scarecrow and burned alive, but Clark rescued her just in time. She then decided to take up Perry White's job offer and go to Africa, after realizing that she could be Clark's greatest weakness.

In Egypt, Lois met Carter Hall, who introduced her to ancient Egyptian mythology, which was referring to his history.

When Oliver informed her that he was going to be the first to sign the bill because Clark wanted to be the first to sing up, she was upset that Clark would consider such a course of action without telling her. After proving she was right in her suspicions and helped Clark's team of heroes to rescued Oliver, Clark brought her to the Watchtower, recognizing her as a very valuable member of the team.

Lois was summoned to Watchtower by Tess, in an attempt to keep her safe from Clark Luthor and there she fought along with Tess and Oliver aiming kryptonite-powered weapons to try to stop the evil doppelganger. After Clark Kent returned, he tried to convince them he was truly back but they were all skeptical until Clark turned to Lois and she could tell instantly that it was truly her Clark. She lowered her weapon and embraced Clark, relieved by his return.

After Chloe turned to Lois for help in making Clark believe in her again, she talks with Clark and the two broke free from the virtual world taking flight. Later in the real world Lois invited Chloe to be the her bridesmaid at her wedding, to which Chloe happily agreed.

Although Lois continued her hero crusade by going door to door handing out papers rallying support for the citizens to vote to have the VRA repealed, she did not have much success in her mission. After she saw that Clark was beginning to lose hope in humanity, Lois received an inspirational idea from Martha about what she could do. With the aid from Chloe, Lois launched an online campaign for supporters to share their words of encouragement to the Blur and inspired Clark again. Finally, Lois and the rest of the gang watched as the VRA was repealed in a nationwide vote.

With the VRA repealed, Lois focused on planning her wedding but was surprised to see a video-feed of Clark, in his Blur form, with some features of his face seen even though he is in the shadows. She begins to worry about Clark's identity and recommends to him a new disguise. Finally Clark presents her a pair of glasses, and decides to wear them in an attempt to conceal his identity as a Superhero.

And if she was having second thoughts about their upcoming marriage, he will marry her when she was ready. late Lois and the party guests watch a video to find out what happen to them the night before, on the video Clark tells Lois she is the love of his life.

For a few weeks, Lois had been working overtime, gearing up for the upcoming promotions opportunity that was approaching.

After Martha sent Lois and Clark the deed to the Kent Farm as an early wedding present, Lois struggled with the decision of selling the Farm and moving to Metropolis. She searched for an apartment in Metropolis and after discovering that Clark Luthor had returned and banished Clark Kent to his reality, she and Emil worked togather to bring Clark Kent back. After Clark Luthor was sent back to his own universe, Clark Kent admitted that he was holding on to things in order to protect them, but knew that they need to move to Metropolis. Lois reassured him that they were never going to lose each other, with or without the farm. Lois tell Clark that Smallville was her home, alluding to Clark.

While Lois competed with Cat for the available job promotion, she also attempted to help Clark make his character transition disguise as a reporter from super to average. When a glory hogging showboat named Booster Gold arrived in Metropolis and attempted to score an interview with Lois in order to rewrite history and gain the title of the "World's Greatest Superhero" but Lois bravely refused and make her own support for The Blur. Later Lois was promoted out of the Daily Planet bullpen basement after she got an exclusive interview with Booster Gold and Jaime Reyes.

As Lois and Clark were starting to move and unpack to their Metropolis apartment, they received a video call from Tess, alerting them that General Slade had returned from the Phantom Zone. After Clark and Oliver went to the Zone to investigate, Lois found out what was going on and discovered that Tess and Clark devised a plan to destroy the gateway to the Zone from the inside. Threatened with losing Clark forever, Lois threatened Tess with a gun to stop their plan from happening. After Clark returned, he went to their home in Metropolis, seeing Lois set everything up, she informed him that three weeks passed and that during that time she was patiently waiting for him to come home. She tells Clark that he should include her in his decisions if he loves her and Clark apologizes for what he has done. He then was shocked to learn that it will be only two days until their wedding.

As Clark took Lois to the Fortress for Jor-El to give them his blessing on their marriage, he accepted the union and transferred Clark’s Kryptonian powers into her for a day as a trial for both of them to understand each other lives. Thanks to this, Lois understood Clark more and how difficult it was to be in his shoes. With everything back to normal, Lois painfully told Clark she could not marry him and called off the wedding, to Clark's shock and disbelief. Despite this, Clark refused to give up on them and embraced her tenderly.

The next morning at the Daily Planet, Lois tried to avoid Clark, who was still very much determined to proceed with their wedding. Clark went so far as to tell her if she was really serious about going through with cancellation of the wedding, she would have to leave him standing at the altar.

Lois had a change of heart when Chloe intervened and informed her that when Clark do decide to embrace his abilities completely and take to the skies, he was going to need her to keep him grounded. Still unconvinced, Lois continued to believe she'll be too much of a distraction for Clark from his responsibilities to save the world. Chloe then decided to show Lois Clark's wedding vows, which finally open Lois' eyes, seeing how much Clark really loves her and that she truly was an integral and essential part of his life, Lois realized how wrong she has be.

Lois decided to get married after all and as she dressed, she was visited by Clark, who had also started to have doubts about the wedding. When Clark told her about his fear, Lois told him that although her family would not be present at the wedding, she had learned to walk alone in life and began to apologize for her behavior and to equate the situation, she slid her wedding vows under the door for him to read. After a long pause, Lois was nervous that Clark had left, Clark moved by Lois' words, assured her he's here, and would be waiting for her at the chapel.

The wedding finally took place, and Lois was overwhelmed by the situation, especially because of all the guests who were waiting for her. Although nervous, Lois tried to show courage and looked throughout the church for her future husband, but could not find him, until he took her by the hand and together they began to walk down the altar.

The wedding went smoothly, but at the moment when Lois was about to take the ring and place it on Clark's finger, Chloe noticed the ring glowing and threw it into the air. It was then revealed that Oliver was possessed by the darkness. Lois and Chloe tried to escape along with the others in the chapel, but when Clark was attacked by Oliver, Lois ran back to defend him and was launched into the air by Oliver. Clark saved her and once Oliver returned to normal, they began to investigate the arrival of Apokolips.

Lois and Clark headed to the Daily Planet to discover more about what was happening and try to find Tess, and then learned that most of the people there were marked with the Omega symbol and that was what attracted the planet to them. Lois encouraged Clark to find Tess and concluded that the mastermind of Tess’ kidnapping was Lionel Luthor and Clark went to the Luthor Mansion to find him. Before he left, Lois encouraged him to go save the world, they kiss passionately and reaffirm their love. Afterwards, when Lois learned that the government planned to blow up what they called an asteroid with a nuclear missile, she decided to try to stop them because millions of lives would die in the process and infiltrated the presidential flight.

Aboard the plane, Lois attempted to get past security to speak with the President and eventually managed to manipulate her way to the room with the Secretary. She warned him what the supposed meteor really was and that their plan would result in the deaths of millions of people. Realizing that they knew what they were doing, she told them that the heroes that they had tried to destroy could save them.

They agreed to give the heroes a chance, but limiting the time to five minutes. When the plane lost altitude due to Apokolips gravitational field, Clark arrived just in time as Superman to save it from crashing. He appeared to Lois, smiling and nodding to her, reassuring Lois that everything would be alright. Then, Lois took a camera and began to record and cover the story just as the President approached her.
