Lois Lane was a reporter of the Daily Planet, the daughter of the late Sam Lane, the wife of John Henry Irons, and the mother of Natalie Lane Irons.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Lois Lane was the daughter of Sam Lane, presumably born and raised in Metropolis. At some point, she married John Henry Irons and had a daughter, Natalie.[1] After Natalie was born, John recorded a video of Lois holding her.[2] She also began working for the Daily Planet.[1] One of the articles Lois wrote detailed how Superman captured a school shooter, though not before four lives were taken.[3]
When Irons left for a military mission, Lois asked him to come back to her before kissing him.[4]
The Irons family witnesses the destruction of Metropolis.
One day, Lois and John were in bed together when Natalie walked in. Suddenly, they witnessed from their apartment a rogue Superman attacking their city along with allies with Kryptonian powers, much to their horror. Afterwards, Lois and her family went into hiding.[1]
Death[]
After Lois learned that Kryptonite was the weapon that could be used against the alien invaders, she was determined to inform the world. Leaving a note to her daughter promising to come back,[3] Lois made a Daily Planet broadcast on DPN News to tell everyone about Kryptonite. Soon after, Superman appeared behind her. Accepting her fate, Lois spoke into the camera to tell her husband and daughter, both of whom were watching, that she loved them, right before Superman killed her on live TV with his heat vision. She died at exactly 10:36 PM EST.[1]
Legacy[]
Lois' death caused John and Natalie to build weapons and steal technology to combat Superman. John promised Natalie that he would return as quickly as possible from battle, to keep her from losing another parent.[1]
Because of her appearance to Lois, Lois Lane of Earth-TUD25, who earlier was stunned emotionally when she learned of Lois' existence, was able to keep John from killing Superman when John had the opportunity to stab him with a Kryptonite spear.[5]
John has been having an identity crisis of his Lois. Earth-TUD25 Lois's behavior, specifically her looking up, triggers a memory of his own wife, Lois doing the same movement, further emphasizing the internal conflict he's facing.[6]
On the anniversary of Lois' death, Natalie tried to make waffles for breakfast using her recipe as a remembrance, but John couldn't remember what day it was, due to replacing Superman as a hero after he disappeared while hunting Ally Allston. Later, when John found out what day it was, he apologized to her, saying that he was trying to move on from Lois' death because his grief drove him to extreme actions, but that he never wanted to forget about her. He made waffles using Lois' recipe and they watched Lois' old videos together, including Natalie's birth video.[2]
Earth-TUD25 Lois revealed to her friends and family that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. John tried to maintain an emotional distance but was deeply affected by this, since, even though he knew Earth-TUD25 Lois was not his wife, the thought of losing her again was incredibly painful. Natalie decided to give Lois a watch she had originally built for her mother, and asked for John's permission. The next day, John joined Nat, Sam and the Kents in seeing Earth-TUD25 Lois off to her first treatment, where John admitted that he was worried about Earth-TUD25 Lois even if she wasn't his wife. The next day, Natalie gave the watch to Earth-TUD25 Lois.[7]
After John held Peia Mannheim hostage as a way of getting Bruno Mannheim to co-operate, Natalie asked him if he wanted to be the one who took those final minutes from a family like Lois's last moment had been taken from them.[8]
One year later, John and Lana Lang got married at the Kent Farm. Natalie told John that their new world felt like home and she believed her mother would be happy for them.[9]
Personality[]
According to John Henry Irons, she was exactly the same as her Earth-TUD25 doppelgänger, except that they married different people.[4]
