Biography

Original multiverse

Early life

Daily Planet (Earth-38)

Daily Planet.

Lois was born in Metropolis to General Sam Lane and an unknown mother. She has a younger sister, Lucy, but for unspecified reasons, the two never really got along.[1] Despite being raised in a family with a long military tradition, Lois never attended a military academy nor joined the U.S. Army; instead, she pursued a career in investigative journalism, rising to become one of the best reporters of the Daily Planet.

Over the years, Lois grew estranged from her father due to the Sam's immorality, black and white view of aliens, and control issues over his daughter's life.[2]

Superman's girlfriend

Clark Kent The Adventures of Supergirl

Clark Kent.

Lois won numerous awards during the course of her career[3] and was one of the first reporters to interview Superman, remaining one of his closest allies and developing strong romantic feelings for him.[4] She also began a strong rivalry with Cat Grant during the period in which the latter worked as the assistant to the Daily Planet's editor-in-chief, Perry White.[5] When Clark Kent began to work at the Daily Planet, he was paired with Lois and fell in love with her at first sight.

Over the years, Lois began a steady romantic relationship with Clark.[4] Eventually, she became aware that he and Superman are one-and-the-same.[6]

Lois has won the Siegel Prize for Women in Media over Cat multiple times.[7] At some point, she wrote a memoir titled A Time to Soar, which included details of her supposed relationship with Lucy.[1]

Trying to get an interview with Supergirl

In late 2015 when Supergirl appeared in National City for the first time, Lois, along with Clark, was said to furiously be working on getting an exclusive with the superheroine.[5] However, over the following years, Lois was apparently introduced to Supergirl by Clark and learned her civilian identity, Kara Danvers, and the two women soon became good friends.[6]

In late 2016, after Clark went on a brief visit to his cousin in National City, Lois called him in order to check if he was alright.[4]

Visiting Argo City

At some point after the battle against the Worldkillers, Clark decided to take a sabbatical from Earth to visit Argo City, leaving Kara in charge of the planet full-time.[8] He also brought Lois with him in order to share the experience of "connecting with Kryptonian culture" with the woman he loves. Clark and Lois explored the Jewel Mountains and attended several deliberations of the High Council.[6]

Around this time, Lois became pregnant.[9]

Back to Earth and battle for Earth-1

Clark and Lois shares a kiss in Kent Farm

Clark and Lois share a kiss at the Kent Farm.

In his first spare day after he returned to Earth, Clark goes to the Kent Farm where he was raised, taking with him Lois and Kara in order to do some repairs to the van and the barn as well as enjoy an afternoon together. There, Lois tried once more to convince him to let her write an article about their time on Argo City despite Clark was skeptical as the public would then demand why Lois Lane was off-world with Superman, to which she pointed out she would invent something and that being the first woman who ever visited Krypton's remains is just something she "needed to write", finally managing to convince him before going to the barn in order to drive nails with a hammer.

While in the barn she got approached by Barry Allen and Oliver Queen, who arrived directly from Earth-1, at first she got scared and tried to fend them off with a hammer but, after Kara explained they were her friends, she cools off and introduced cheerfully. Later, they explained to her, Kara and Clark their situations of having switched powers and lives due to an unknown reason. Clark offered the two some time in his farm in order reflect about what to do, however, a few hours later, Vibe came to the place telling them about A.M.A.Z.O.'s rampage on Earth-1's Central City leading them to come back. Lois suggested Clark join the fight.[6]

The Trigger Twins asks Superman's help

Oliver and Barry, turned in a couple of criminals known as the "Trigger Twins", visit the Fortress of Solitude to ask Superman's help.

A few hours later, while they were together in the Fortress of Solitude intent on preparing a barbecue, Lois and Clark are visited once more by Oliver, Barry and Cisco, the two explained to him that they were rendered powerless as well as a couple of criminals nicknamed the Trigger Twins, while Cisco was now a mob boss and Kara was held prisoner at the S.T.A.R. Labs after their Earth's reality was reshaped for the second time by Doctor John Deegan who, using the Book of Destiny, has given to himself Superman's destiny, looks and powers, taking over the whole world and becoming a sort of dictator. Clark explained he had seen similar artifacts in the past and know how to deal with them, as they're activated with the power of the mind and everything they had to do is to find that book. Hearing that, Cisco revealed to them that it's something important to him, probably "Superman" kept it in his vault inside the S.T.A.R. Labs, to which Clark and Lois exchanged a look of complicity saying he needed to go back to Earth-1.

The heroes are victorious against Deegan and A.M.A.Z

The heroes are victorious.

Later, as Superman was battling Doctor Deegan on Earth-1 and he spawned a new A.M.A.Z.O. out of the Book to fight him, Lois arrived from Earth-38 armed with the Solar Hammer and leading a supporting team composed of Brainiac 5 and the Martian Manhunter. While Brainy handled A.M.A.Z.O. and J'onn protected the civilians, Superman and Lois attacked Deegan using the hammer, leading the Doctor to reach for the Book of Destiny sending a powerful shockwave that sent Lois several feet in the air in free-fall just in the exact moment Flash and Supergirl managed to slow down the Earth's time. Green Arrow took the opportunity to throw an arrow at the Book of Destiny and destroying it turning the reality back to normal, as well as Deegan's body, although with a scarred face who looks more like a skeleton. As soon as time began to flow again normally Superman reached for Lois, catching her just in time, while Brainy shut down A.M.A.Z.O. removing the robot's hard drive and completing the heroes' victory.[9]

Back to Earth-38's Smallville, after Clark told Kara that he believed she's stronger than he could ever be and that's the reason why he's sure he was making the right thing, she asked him what does it mean and Lois reached them telling Clark to merely be direct, indirectly leading Kara to realize they're having a baby. After she happily congratulated with them, Clark revealed to her their intention to move to Argo City until the child is born and maybe a little longer. Although she knew she will miss both her cousin and Lois, Kara was overjoyed to hear him tell her that "the world doesn't need Superman if it has Supergirl" and that he felt it's safe to let its protection in her hands for a little while.

Clark Kent proposes

Superman proposes to Lois.

Back to the Fortress, while spending the evening together, Clark absentmindedly burns the barbecue and, after Lois made him notice it he apologized telling her that he wanted that night to be perfect; after the woman asked why Clark fumbled awkwardly about wishing all of their nights together to be perfect forever, to which Lois smiled and reminded him once more to be direct. Then, with a single clench of his fist, Clark put a chunk of coal under enough pressure to turn it into a diamond, placed it on a ring, kneel and started to propose to Lois, who accept to marry and passionately kissed him even before he managed to finish his sentence.[9]

About nine months after she and Clark returned to Argo City, Lois gave birth to their son, Jonathan Kent.[10]

After the beginning of the Anti-Monitor Crisis Lois and Clark, who were enjoying their peaceful time with their son in Argo City, received a holographic message from Kara, warning them of the city's impending destruction by antimatter. They evacuated John to his pod with help from Alura Zor-El sending him en route to the Earth before the city perished. Despite seemingly being wiped away as well, the Kryptonian hero and his wife were actually saved by the Harbinger, who gathered the worlds’ greatest heroes under the Monitor's order, so Clark and Lois found themselves in the D.E.O. headquarters together with Oliver Queen, Mia Queen, Kate Kane and Harbinger herself.

In that moment, Brainy informed he had tracked Jonathan's pod to Earth-16, in the year 2046, and although Superman was ready to go rescue his son, Oliver convinced him to stay behind to protect National City, prompting Lois to go in his place together with Sara and Brainy.

Uh, Kent. Clark. Clark Kent.

Personality

"If you're not, I will, Smallville."
—Lois Lane to Clark Kent on teaming up with the heroes of Earth-1[src]

Lois is described as "an award-winning, tenacious, righteous, and stubborn reporter who will go to any lengths to get the story and almost never fails".[16] She is known to do anything to get to the bottom of a story, even risking her own life in the process; according to Lois herself, "when you get kidnapped, you're on the right track" in reporting.[17] Lois is known to be a strong and assertive woman, more than capable of handling herself in dangerous situations. She is also kind and open-minded, as evidenced by her admiration of Superman and Supergirl, both extraterrestrials.

Lois has a difficult relationship with her father, Sam Lane, partly due to his disapproval of/interfering in her relationships with men and mainly because of his immoral traits, as Sam has an anti-view on all aliens in general.[2] For unknown reasons, Lois also does not get along with her younger sister, Lucy Lane at all.[1]

Lois is quite outspoken and direct, often reminding Clark not to "beat around the bush", as a result, she is also somewhat inhibited regarding her private or sexual life.[9] Lois has an innate excitable and adventurous side, never wanting to miss the chance to be into the field; this was demonstrated when she watched Barry Allen and Oliver Queen starting a fight and began cheering for the first or when she told Clark that if he doesn't want to go to Earth-1 to fight A.M.A.Z.O., she would have been happy to do it.[6]

As a wife and mother, Lois is very warm and loving towards her husband, Clark and her son, Jonathan Kent.[10] She is also an extremely compassionate woman, capable of using the Book of Destiny by concentrating on her love as Lex Luthor did with his hatred, and helping the brainwashed Superman of Earth-96 come back to his senses;[11] it was later explained by Lex that using the Book of Destiny is impossible if it's user is not deeply focused on something, proving the strength of her love and compassion, which also led Mar Novu himself opening up with Lois over his own past losses.[12]
