Line 5:
Lois Lane is ([[Everybody Knows That|of course]]) the [[Romantic Interest]] of [[Superman]]. She first appeared in ''[[Action Comics]]'' #1 (June, 1938), the first published Superman story. As such, she's the [[Trope Codifier]] for (a type of) superhero love interest- the one who doesn't realize that [[Loves My Alter Ego|the hero she loves is also someone close to her]]. The characters [[Captain Ersatz|inspired by her]] are countless.
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
During the [[Silver Age]] of comics, Lois had her own series, titled ''Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane''. Which lasted for 137 issues, from March-April, 1958 to September-October, 1974. In this series, which had a more humorous tone, Lois became a shrew who constantly tried to prove that Clark was Superman on the assumption that he would *have* to marry her then. Instead of, you know, simply courting him the regular way. (Note that Superman himself was openly courting her, but Lois apparently felt that she still needed to prove herself smarter than him. No wonder she became a target of his [[Super Dickery]] so often. It should also be noted that this was how most superhero [[Love Interest|love interests]] flew anyway). To be fair, they DID truly love each other, both just had a lot of quirks to overcome.
Line 19:
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
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]].
Line 46:
* [[Old Shame]]: The "I'm Curious- Black!" story was ''never'' referenced to again.
** Though it ''was'' included in at least one collection of classic Superman tales.
* [[Sealed Evil in
* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: Lois is in love with Clark not because he is Superman, but because he is a sweet, kind-hearted farmboy from Kansas.
* [[Transformation Comic]]: Often rivaled the [[Jimmy Olsen]] comics for this.
