History

From childhood, Lois Lane knew she was going to be the best reporter in the business. The daughter of a career Army officer, Sam Lane, Lois spent her early years traveling with her family (including her sister Lucy, whom she helped raise after their mother’s death) from military base to military base. She honed her craft at every turn, and when the Lane family moved to Metropolis, Lois got her big break.

At just 15 years old, Lois Lane approached Daily Planet editor Perry White and asked him for a job, trying to bluff her way into a position by telling Perry she was actually 19. Not one to be fooled, Perry declined her resume—but the rejection only spurred Lois further. Determined to prove her worth, she launched a one-woman campaign to infiltrate LexCorp and steal information that would help her get a scoop on Lex Luthor to present to Perry.

She was, unfortunately, caught in the act. But Perry was so impressed with her initiative and her fearlessness, he agreed to hire her.

Years later, Lois's career took off when she won the Pulitzer Prize for her piece on the day she met Superman; after he saved her and her colleagues from crashing in an experimental aircraft. She became one of the first people to ever see Superman in action, and the first person to give him his name – in her headline "MYSTERIOUS SUPERMAN SAVES SPACE PLANE."

Her and Superman would form an ongoing love triangle with herself, Clark Kent the reporter, and Superman. However, Clark and Lois’s relationship evolved, and Clark eventually proposed marriage after revealing his secret identity to her, just before Doomsday would kill the Man of Steel. After he was resurrected, the two would tie the knot and wed. The two would eventually raise their own son, Jon Kent.
