Lois Lane

**Lois Joanne Lane** (born c. 1981) is the daughter of Sam Lane and Ella, the older sister of Lucy Lane, the wife of Clark Kent, and the mother of Jonathan and Jordan Kent. She is also close friends with Kara Zor-El, who is an honorary sister.

She first met her husband when they were both working at the Daily Planet and gradually started falling in love with one another despite her disliking everyone focusing on Superman's heroics rather than people's lives at risk. After years of dating, they finally married and had raised their sons in Metropolis while visiting Martha in the summers.

She is a former reporter of the *Daily Planet*, a reporter of the *Smallville Gazette*, She is also the current matriarch of the Kent and Lane Families, and a member of the House of El.

## Early History

Lois Lane, born 1981, and her sister Lucy were the daughters of General Sam Lane and his wife, Ella. However, when the girls were young, Ella abandoned her family and got a divorce. It caused Sam to bury himself in his work, leaving Lois and Lucy to raising each other.

## Personality

Lois has a good relationship with her father, Sam Lane. He is does not have an anti-view towards all aliens or Vigilantes. However, she gets tired of him putting business before family at times. At the end of the day, she knows how hard he works and actually respects Sam for it. As the series progresses, the two get closer when Sam starts choosing family over work.

Lois is a loving wife and mother, as she cares about her husband, Clark Kent, and her sons, Jonathan Kent and Jordan Kent. She supports Clark's vigilante activities even though it takes an emotional toll on her due to his absence. She also respects Clark's decisions even if she does not agree with some of them. This includes keeping his identity as Superman a secret from their sons, Jonathan and Jordan until they reach adulthood. Even though they should have just told them the truth from the beginning, Jon and Jordan have gotten closer to their parents.

Lois has a good relationship with both of her sons, Jonathan and Jordan. However, she was always the closest with Jordan because she was far more concerned about him because of his social anxiety disorder. This does not necessarily mean that she does not care about Jonathan. If they do something wrong, Lois will be strict but fair with them. For example, she was outraged to learn that Jonathan was taking the X-Kryptonite drug and, even though the charges were dropped, Lois remained disappointed in him.

Lois has a sense of justice, honor, and good morals for example when Morgan Edge started a new business in Smallville due to its financial downfall, she attempted to expose his attempt to destroy the town, just like he had done with other previous small towns. However, the article that she wrote regarding Morgan's misdeeds was prevented because he is the new owner of Daily Planet.

After realizing that as long as the Daily Planet is still owned by Morgan, the latter will always twist the truth. Lois ultimately resigns from the Daily Planet and joins the Smallville Gazette to expose Morgan as the corrupt businessman he truly is.
