Line 2:

[[Lois Lane]] is ([[Pop
Over the decades, Lois has been [[Straw Feminist|a symbol]] both for ''and'' against feminism; while she is a career woman (an [[Intrepid Reporter]]) who speaks her mind and goes for [[Going for the Big Scoop|the big scoop]] regardless of danger, she has also been the object of mockery for [[Clark Kenting|not noticing that her fellow reporter Clark Kent]] is Superman. On this front she is normally joined by Clark Kent's other close friends, but she is closer to either of them than anyone else who does not know they are the same, and even in ''Lois and Clark'' where she does figure out the fact that Clark Kent is Superman before he tells her, she has made out with him on at least one occasion under both identities before that. She also gets marked down by some since she is [[Damsel in Distress|constantly getting in trouble that she needs to be rescued from]]. However at least in some incarnations this often involves her as a bold, fearless attacker who will grad whatever large object is around and go after the local evil force, at times when such a force is in the process of defeating Superman without the use of Kryptonite.
Line 18:
Lois was eventually allowed to finally marry Superman; the first time, it was the ''original'' Lois Lane (the one from the 1940s comics) since that version was declared to exist in a [[Parallel Universe]] and was not [[All the Myriad Ways|the "current" version]]. Ironically, in this story Superman (due to a magic spell) forgets he's a superhero and marries Lois as Clark Kent. But then she discovers he's really Superman and helps him regain his memory. She expects him to declare the marriage null, but instead, he marries her again, this time as Superman (in a private ceremony.)
The modern Lois also got to marry Superman in the 1990s, first in the TV show ''[[Lois and Clark]]'' and then in the comics. This was the post-''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'' version, who was the 1970s version only more so. Most notably, her relationship (before she learnt his identity) was clearly with Clark, not Superman, in keeping with the [[Post-Crisis]] Superman's belief that "[[Secret Identity Identity|Superman is what I do, Clark Kent is who I am]]". There had been elements of this in the [[Bronze Age]], but it was still mostly presented as "Lois is dating Clark because she suspects he's Superman". As of the ''[[New 52]]'' reboot, Lois is no longer married to Clark, and is dating someone else.
The first Lois died during the events of ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'' (as did the first Superman) only for both to be brought back during the ''[[Blackest Night]]'' crisis as [[Our Zombies Are Different|Black Lanterns]].
Neither marriage has had children
Lois continues to be an inextricable part of the Superman mythos and appears in virtually every version of the character, be it comics, movies or animation.
