Lois Lane

From Smallville Wiki

"If I had to describe my experience in this town in one word, it would be 'weird'." - Lois Lane

Lois Lane is a fledgling journalist working for the Daily Planet and the bold, outspoken, older cousin of Chloe Sullivan. She also served as campaign manager for Jonathan Kent when he ran for Kansas State Senator, and chief of staff for Clark Kent's mother Martha Kent when she took Jonathan's position in the State Senate.

Lois was an army brat, the daughter of General Sam Lane. She spent her formative years following her career military father around the world. Her mother died when Lois and her younger sister, Lucy were both very young; Lois was six at the time. Later, Sam sent Lucy to boarding school, while Lois traveled around with him during her youth.

Since staying with the Kents for most of what should have been her freshman year of college, 2004-2005, Lois has grown quite close to the Kents, even seeing Martha Kent as the mother she never had. Her relationship with Clark is full of teasing that sometimes gets the best of them; however, they also look after each other and offer each other advice.

[edit] Personality

"Official warning: I'm a third degree black belt. That means I can't be held liable for any funeral costs." - Lois Lane, Fade

Lois' childhood and youth was spent on different army bases with her father, General Sam Lane, whom she refers to as "The General". As a result of her upbringing, Lois is a persistent, slightly impulsive, if not head-strong, woman. She often uses sarcasm and random, obscure references to illustrate her point. She takes charge of (or takes over) most situations and is wildly brave, often risking her life by crashing forward, only to have to either frantically talk her way out of or physically defend herself in dangerous situations.

Lois' familiar relationships give great insight into her motivations and actions. She is as close as a sister to her cousin Chloe and is very protective of her. Despite their arguing, Lois is surprisingly caring towards Clark, frequently but reluctantly admitting that she appreciates his friendship. Lois' nickname for Clark is "Smallville".

Lois' tough exterior seemingly covers underlying insecurities. She desperately seeks approval from her father, even though she feels like he abandoned her for his military duties. She blames herself for her sister Lucy's failures, but still is full of pride and admiration of her accomplishments. She has described herself as a "screw-up" and freely acknowledges when she has worsened a situation. She also talks without thinking, causing her to often seem insensitive.

Lois enjoys video games and 1980s rock music. She is also very athletic; she is trained in various sorts of martial arts, runs, and is a good swimmer.

[edit] Season Four

"Even if I could spell, the last thing I'd want to do is spend my time in a newsroom." - Lois Lane, Commencement

Lois came to Smallville to investigate Chloe Sullivan's murder, after she found a video diary Chloe made addressed to Clark Kent, regarding her information on Lionel Luthor. Driving through the countryside, a bolt of lightning struck the cornfield in front of her. When she exited to investigate, she found a naked and disoriented Clark Kent, returned to Earth as Kal-El. Lois took him to the Smallville Hospital where he was recognized by his mother, Martha Kent. Upon learning that she had indeed found Clark Kent, Lois visited the Kent Farm the next day to ask Martha if they knew anything about Chloe's death. Martha warned her not to get tangled with Lionel Luthor.

When Kal-El was restored as Clark, he offered to help her solve Chloe's death. They investigated together and found Chloe alive. Lois stayed with the Kents until her father, General Lane came to collect her, she then left to start her first semester at Metropolis University.

However, she later learned that she failed her last semester of high school, as she did not have enough credits to graduate. General Lane ordered her to enroll in Smallville High to finish. The Kents again offered to let her stay, and she did so while she attended high school.

During her time at Smallville High, Lois wrote for the school newspaper, the Smallville Torch. Although Lois did not seem enthusiastic about journalism, she often teamed up with Clark and Chloe for various investigations as they worked together to find out the truth about meteor infected humans in Smallville. She helped investigate on a strange love potion that infected Chloe and wrote an article about plastic surgery that won her some acclaim from Torch readers. Through it all, Lois and Clark continued to squabble, trading sarcastic remarks back and forth and generally frustrating each other.

On Chloe's eighteenth birthday, Lois was possessed by a 17th Century witch, Brianna Withridge. With Lana and Chloe also possessed by witches themselves, they joined a wild party and stripped Clark of his powers. When he recovered his powers, all three girls were restored to normal.

Later on, Lois pleaded to the dean while, in addition, Clark asked Lex Luthor to pull some strings and she was allowed to attend Metropolis University. Lois helped Clark discover the real killer of Clark's girlfriend, Alicia Baker. She also successfully talked Clark out of killing the murderer in revenge. Shortly after it began, Lois' stint in college came to a disastrous end when she was wrongly accused of attacking a Met U football player and expelled for underage drinking. When she discovered the real assailant, Geoff Johns, he proceeded to paralyze her, placing her in an underground water tank to drown. Clark saved her just in time. Unable to admit to her father what had happened, she asked the Kents if she could come back to stay with them until she figured something out.

Lois was reunited with her sister, Lucy, who came to Smallville to ask her sister to help her resolve a situation with a European loan shark. The two were later kidnapped during Lucy's attempt to extort money from Lex. When Lucy skipped town with Lex's money, Lois blamed herself for the way Lucy turned out. For the first time, Lois talked to Clark openly about how her father brought her up.

On the way home one evening, Lois hit a dog and brought him to the Kent Farm. The dog turned out to possess super-strength and Clark decided to keep him. She also joined Martha Kent as a part-time waitress in Talon. On Clark's last day of high school, Lois helped him locate Chloe and Lana who had both gone missing. Suspecting Brendan Nash took them, Clark and Lois located a warehouse in which Brendan had set up a fake high school. Lois found her own way in and became a wax statue, thanks to Brendan's meteor power. Brendan almost shattered her with a bat but Clark blocked the strike and saved all three girls from being killed; when Brendan died, she and the others were restored to normal. The day of Clark's high school graduation, Lois announced to the Kents that she and her father would be leaving to go find her sister. However, the Second meteor shower prevented her from leaving and she watched the devastation that laid waste to the town.

[edit] Season Five

"I don't know how you do it. Chasing story after story that only leads to dead ends. I'd never be able to let go." - Lois Lane, to Chloe Sullivan, Solitude

After the meteor shower of 2005, Lois went to look for the Kents and found them both alive, but Martha was seriously injured. She helped Jonathan take her to the hospital where she was assaulted by Kryptonians Nam-Ek and Aethyr. They let her go when Lana Lang diverted their attention. Lois then continued her original plan to leave with General Lane in search of her sister.

Lois returned to Smallville shortly after, announcing to Clark's annoyance that Martha had offered her a place to stay and her old job at the Talon. While diving at Crater Lake, she hit her head and almost drowned. She was saved by superhuman swimmer Arthur Curry. Clark was convinced that AC was up to something and after catching them kiss, he was extremely rude to AC until Lois finally snapped and told him to back off. They continued to argue about AC, Lois openly pegging Clark as jealous. However, they made up when AC left town: Clark admitted that AC wasn't all bad and Lois admitted that she appreciated Clark's concern. Lois and Chloe found themselves in the middle of a murder investigation after receiving a call from a stripper from the Windgate Club. They went to the club to look for answers, but the security threatened to throw them out until Chloe told them that Lois was there to try out as a dancer. Lois was forced to perform a sexy dance in only a American flag bra, red panties, and boots with Clark in the audience, also there to investigate a murder, thus making the situation extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing. Lois was later kidnapped by a wealthy patron Mr. Lyon who was responsible for the murder of the stripper Melissa. Clark arrived in time to stop Mr. Lyon's helicopter from leaving, unbeknown to Lois, who had awakened and fought off her kidnappers. Lois and Clark turned Lyon over to the police and she thanked him for saving her. Shortly after, Lois moved out of the Kent's and into the apartment above the Talon. During Jonathan and Lex's Senate race, Lois confronted Lex and suggested he bow out before someone dug up incriminating information on him. Lex was unconcerned, which fueled her passion even more. She convinced Chloe to help her dig up information on Lex that would make him lose the race. They attempted to investigate Warehouse 15, but were thwarted by security. Lois was disappointed to come up empty-handed, and Chloe suggested she become a reporter. Lois commented that she would never be able to stand all of the unanswered questions.

After Lois criticized the image his campaign manager was portraying of Jonathan Kent, Jonathan fired him and hired Lois to manage his bid for Senate. She hung up posters, arranged rallies, and managed his finances. When a student obsessed with Lex Luthor attempted to kill Jonathan, she tried to force Lois to shoot him. With Clark's help (he caught the bullet), Lois was able to fight her off. When Jonathan confronted her about taking money from Lionel Luthor, she did not inform him that it was Martha who originally accepted Lionel's offer and instead took the blame herself. Later, when Martha clarified the situation, Jonathan apologized to her.

The day Jonathan won the election actually happened twice- at Clark's request to save Lana Lang's life, Jor-El reversed time. In the second version of events, Lois threw Jonathan a victory party, but did not attend because she fell off of a stool, as Lana wasn't there this time to catch her, bringing her to have to go to the hospital. Her success as campaign manager was marred by Jonathan's death that same night.

When Chloe was possessed by the spirit of a murdered girl, she seemingly tried to kill herself and Lois took her to the hospital. Lois felt guilty about Chloe's condition and was extremely concerned for her safety. Later, Lois and Chloe were abducted by the girl's killer Michael Westmore, who almost killed them both. With Clark's help, they were able to free Chloe from the spirit and escape being murdered.

Lois was the first to encounter a hypnotized Clark after he met the evil Simone. Chloe enlisted Lois' help to try and stop Clark from leaving with Simone and killing Lex. When Martha became hypnotized as well, she almost shot Lois, but Chloe stopped her just in time.

When Martha's chief of staff was murdered, she took in her foster daughter, Maddie Van Horn. However, while Lois was in charge of watching Maddie, she encountered Maddie's murderous father, Tyler McKnight. Lois was injured when McKnight shattered a car window and sent the glass flying towards her. Lois felt great guilt and disappointment with herself for letting Maddie get taken. Martha later hired Lois as her new Chief of Staff.

Lois was wined and dined by the wealthy Graham Garrett. After Clark saved his life, he met Lois at Clark's house and was immediately impressed with her and began to lavish her with expensive and exotic dates. Later, he threw a party and invited Clark. Clark was suspicious of Graham; when he found Lois as Graham's date, he was upset. Lois was annoyed and asked Clark to "pretend not to know her." Later, Lois was showering and getting ready for a date with Graham when she thought she heard an intruder. Her suspicions raised, she went into defense mode and threw open the bathroom door, still naked. In a role reversal of their first meeting, she met face to face with a wide-eyed Clark. When Chloe revealed Graham to be a hired hit-man, Lois talked to Martha about why she always attracted bad boys, but Martha assured her that she had similar experiences at Lois' age, and Lois would find a good one eventually. On his birthday, Lois made Clark an irregular blue rum cake and gave him a journal, so that he would hopefully find some way to release all the feelings he kept bottled up. She helped Chloe and Martha throw him a surprise party. However, with the presence of only three guests and the tangible absence of Jonathan, the party was small and subdued. Clark was also depressed because of the developing relationship between Lex and Lana, and Lois tried to reassure him by reminding him he will find someone someday.

Martha and Lois were scheduled to attend a conference in Washington D.C. when their flight was canceled. When Lionel offered the LuthorCorp jet and Martha accepted, Lois brought up Lionel's possible feelings for Martha. However, the pilot of the plane turned out to be Brainiac, who shut off the oxygen supply to the cabin causing both Martha and Lois to pass out. Lois and Martha's plane crashed near the Fortress of Solitude.

[edit] Season Six

"It's my story. I don't share bylines." - Lois Lane, Reunion

Lois and Martha's plane crashed near the Fortress of Solitude. She awakened for a time while there, but later told Clark that she only vaguely remembered the structure and thought it was heaven. Clark told her that maybe she hallucinated, but she insisted that it was real. At the hospital, Clark expressed that he was glad she was okay and spontaneously grabbed her hand. It made Lois uncomfortable and she awkwardly pulled away.

Lois was jogging when the Kents's barn door came crashing out of the sky and landed jarringly close to her. She was determined to discover what made it fly off the barn and relentlessly investigated, despite Chloe's attempts to get her to drop the subject. She wrote an article for The Daily Planet, but Chloe discouraged her, trying to protect Clark, and seemingly doubting it was good enough to be published. Undeterred, she successfully shopped her story to the Metropolis Inquisitor and received her first byline. She began moonlighting for the Inquisitor and was close to accepting a job when she met Oliver Queen. Lois accidentally insulted Oliver, thinking he was the messenger boy for Queen Industries. She was sternly chastised by Martha and went to his loft to apologize. He accepted, but only if she attended Lex Luthor's costume ball as his date. At the end of the night, she denied Oliver a kiss, saying he would have to earn it. Enamored, Oliver continued to woo her, and they began a relationship. When Oliver met Clark, he commented on Clark's "feelings" for Lois, which both Lois and Clark quickly brushed off. While attending a fund-raiser with Oliver, Lois witnessed the Green Arrow stealing a rare diamond necklace off Martha's neck and vowed to find the man behind the mask. She wrote an article about him, dubbing him the "Green Arrow Bandit." Later, she was captured by crooks who also wanted to know who the Green Arrow was and was rescued by the Green Arrow himself. Lois blamed him for her harrowing experience and was about to unmask him until Clark ensured Oliver a quick escape route. Later, she told Oliver that she would not give up until she unmasked Green Arrow. She told him that she considers the Green Arrow dangerous, making Oliver concerned and worried. Lois went with Oliver to an alumni event for Excelsior Academy and was by Oliver's side when two of his childhood friends were brutally murdered by an unseen force. She worked with Clark to investigate the mysterious deaths, intending to write a story about it. However, when she learned that the culprit was the astral projection of paralyzed Duncan Allenmeyer, who had had experimental therapy, Lois abruptly stopped, as she thought it best not to write her story given the circumstances. Tired of his disappearing acts, Lois decided to dump Oliver, who often left her alone to do his Green Arrow duties. Looking for Oliver, Lois encountered the Green Arrow, who threw her into a glass table and sent her to the hospital. Clark told Lois about Oliver's use of an intravenous drug, and Lois believed it explained his erratic behavior. Oliver quit taking the drug and asked Lois to take him back. She did, and they attended the Kent Thanksgiving dinner as a couple.

Lois paid Jimmy Olsen for possible footage of the Green Arrow. However, all Jimmy got was images of Green Arrow's arms and legs. Lois began to suspect Oliver was the Green Arrow and enlisted Clark's help to prove it. However, Clark and Oliver worked together to throw her off by having Clark wear Oliver's costume and end her suspicions. With Clark in Oliver's costume, they shared their first kiss, unknown to Lois. Clark's reaction to the kiss was unreadable.

Lois and Oliver's relationship continued until Lois confronted Oliver on his tendency to always disappear in the middle of their dates. Oliver tried to make it up to her by promising a romantic vacation. However, before their departure, Oliver backed out on the trip again due to his commitments to the Justice League and Lois declared that she would not be waiting for him. He told her that he wasn't planning on coming back to Metropolis and they parted ways in a tearful and emotional breakup. At a Valentine's Day party at the Talon, Lois bought a lipstick containing a Red Kryptonite-based aphrodisiac and fell in love with the first man she saw-- Clark. She showed up at Clark's house and gave him a homemade Whitesnake mix CD. She also got a temporary tattoo with his name on it. Additionally, she infected Clark, and as Kal, he made a flying leap from the rooftop of the Daily Planet building to Queen Tower with Lois in his arms. She also went with Kal to crash Lex and Lana's engagement party, but was heartbroken when Kal lost interest in her and left. Jimmy Olsen sprayed her with the antidote and Lois now has no knowledge of the events. The next day Lois uncomfortably showed Clark the tattoo and vaguely tried to ask him if they slept together. Clark was amused by the whole situation. He didn't tell her the whole story, but he did show her the CD she made for him, and she was clearly embarrassed.

Lois was desperate for a story for the Inquisitor. While Chloe and Clark were investigating a lethal Internet fight club, she discovered the location of the club. She went undercover to investigate, but was apprehended by Athena and forced to fight. To her shock, she was paired up against Clark, and the two had to work together to fight Titan. Lois was knocked unconscious after being hit by Titan, but Clark was able to defeat him and take her to safety.

When Lana Luthor was shot at the Daily Planet, Lois was determined to find out what she was trying to expose. She stole Lana's cigarette case from the crime scene and discovered a flash drive belonging to Lex. The drive contained a video of a meeting between Lex and Senator Ed Burke discussing Project Ares. However, Lionel Luthor guessed her involvement and took the flash drive from her. He warned her that whoever had targeted Lana wouldn't hesitate to do away with her as well. In Jimmy's dream sequence, she is a lounge singer and has an affair with Lex Luthor. Lois confronted Senator Burke outside an alley and witnessed his murder by the invisible Wes Keenan. When he showed himself, Lois was shocked to recognize him as a childhood friend. The Kents suggested Lois stay on the farm for protection from Wes, but he located her anyway. However, their shared history caused Wes to disobey his orders to kill her and he apprehended her instead. With Lois' help, Wes was able to fend off his mind control long enough to explain what happened to him. Clark and Chloe tracked them down to an old military base and Clark was, able to save Wes from killing Lois, unseen. Wes died in Lois' arms, stating he'd rather be dead than used as a weapon, and repeating a string of numbers.

Wes' death motivated Lois to get to the bottom of Project Ares, so she studied the numbers that Wes died repeating, until she realized they were latitude and longitude coordinates. She tracked it down to Reeves Dam, but when she got there, Lois was confronted by a guard who stabbed her in the stomach. Lois was able to call Chloe for help before she passed out. Chloe found Lois near death from blood loss and began to cry. Mysteriously, her tears healed Lois' stab wound and she recovered, horrified to find that Chloe was the one near death, and the dam crumbling, trapping them inside.

[edit] Season Seven

"Welcome to the Daily Planet, Lois Lane." - Grant Gabriel, Kara

Lois encountered Philipe Lamont, the boy previously possessed by Bizarro while trying to escape the collapsed dam. Clark heard her calling for help and took all three to the hospital where the doctors tried to revive Chloe. Restless, Lois instructed Clark to stay with Chloe while she went to the Luthor Mansion to search for clues that pointed to Lex's involvement with the Project. There, she ran into Bizarro, who had taken Clark's form. Mistaking him for Clark, she was angered when he made a pass at her. Later, Lois deduced that "Clark"'s odd behavior was due to his grief over Lana Lang's reported death, and sincerely offered her condolences. Lois was determined to investigate the dam and Clark went along to keep her out of trouble. He admitted to her that he intended to leave Smallville, just as they discovered a red spaceship. Lois took a picture with her cellular phone but as she reached out to touch the ship, she was thrown back by an unseen force. Clark protected her from a super-speeding blonde woman, who crushed Lois' phone and disappeared. Clark instantly recognized the woman to be Kryptonian and reluctantly took Lois home, thinking she needed to be seen by a doctor and trying to stop her investigation. Chloe was able to convince Lois to go to keep her occupied.

Lois visited Chloe at work at Daily Planet and tried to convince Chloe that she'd seen a UFO. The two were approached by the new editor, Grant Gabriel. Chloe tried to make a good first impression, but Grant stated that he thought she had lost her journalism spark, but that he saw great potential in Lois. He offered her a job if she could write a good story about her spaceship. Lois tracked the ship to a government facility; as she touched the ship she was thrown back by a powerful force. She wrote her story, but had no photograph to accompany it, so Grant declared that he would not publish it, but would still hire her at the Daily Planet.

Lois became Grant's ingenue, getting sent on prestigious and exciting out-of-town assignments. However, she was still interested in proving Lex Luthor's role in the Reeves Dam project. Against Grant's assignments, she chose to investigate the purchase of land close to the dam, authorized by someone with the initials "LL". She sneaked into LuthorCorp but was quickly caught and thrown out by Lex Luthor. Grant asked Lois to accompany him to a social function, but she turned him down. However, Lois and Grant became increasingly close. Lois was casually visiting Grant in his office when they were suddenly interrupted by Lana Lang, who had stolen evidence of Lex's projects and demanded they print the story. When Grant refused to do so, Lana assaulted him. Lois tried to fend her off and Lana threw her through a glass door, knocking her unconscious. At the hospital, Lois vowed to continue her quest to bring Lex down. She sneaked out but was caught by Grant. He brought her flowers and tried to warn her off the Luthor story. Lois acknowledged their growing attraction, but she refused to back off. Lois was oblivious to the fact that Grant was, in fact, helping cover for the Luthors by destroying Lana's evidence. Lois and Grant finally began a relationshp while she continued to cover big stories for him. They were unwittingly seen making out by Chloe, who was furious that Lois would endanger her own career by having a relationship with her boss. She warned Lois to break up with Grant, and Lois attempted to do so, but ultimately, she and Grant agreed to continue their relationship but keep it a secret. Lois was assigned to write an exposé on Lex Luthor. That same day at work, Lois received a call that directed her to turn the interview into an opportunity to prove Lex's guilt once and for all. The caller manipulated Lois into following out his orders by placing a bomb on Chloe and trapping her (and Jimmy Olsen) in a non-functioning elevator. The caller revealed himself to be Adrian Cross and told Lois he was a clone created by Lex. He directed her to enter the interview wired and armed, but she was unable to force a confession out of Lex before he knocked her unconscious. As a result, Lois missed the revelation that Grant Gabriel was a clone of Lex's dead infant brother. She wrote the story, but since Lex killed Cross, she had no proof of Cross' claims. Later, Gabriel visited Lois at her home. Sure she was going to be fired, Lois wanted to continue dating Gabriel, but he broke up with her. Shortly afterward, Lois discovered Oliver Queen had returned to Metropolis and went to the Queen Tower to confront him. Oliver expected her arrival and prepared a romantic dinner. However, they were attacked by a female vigalante hired by Lex to kidnap Green Arrow. Lois learned that Oliver was Green Arrow, but she was held hostage. Clark and Chloe rescued her, and she tried to keep Oliver's identity a secret but was surprised to find out that they alreadly knew. Before he left town again, Oliver asked if they might try to make it work, but Lois was unwilling. She later tearfully confessed to Clark that she loved him, but would not be able to handle his greater cause and would always resent being left behind. Clark offered his support and they exchanged a solemn hug.

Lois followed Lex when he managed to track Kara down to Detroit, Michigan. Lois and Kara were later held captive by the psychotic busboy Finley, but escaped and (unknowingly) were saved by Clark.

Lois started researching about the death of Patricia Swann, with Jimmy Olsen as her sidekick. The two later went undercover as janitors to see how Lionel Luthor was involved. Lois and Jimmy later discovered that Lionel went to see Lana at the Isis Foundation, and they learned that Lex was behind the murder of Patricia, not Lionel. As Clark and Chloe were working on a search for Brainiac, Lois rushed in to inform the two about Lionel Luthor committed suicide by jumping from his office window. Lois and Jimmy found a picture of Lionel being pushed from his office window.When they went to go to the Isis Foundation, they were caught by Lex’s assistant. Lois was shot for trying to stop her, and was placed in a freezer with Jimmy. Clark used his heat vision to keep them warm to prevent them from dying of hypothermia.

Lois suggested Clark apply for an intern at the Daily Planet, saying that he's meant for more than farm work. She asked him about his and Lex’s past friendship, but Clark just said that sometimes people don't out to be who you expect. She then began digging into Lex's excursions to the Arctic circle, but Jimmy was set up by Lex to throw her off the track. She believed Jimmy, but was still skeptical. Lois arrived at the Kent house just as Clark finished viewing a break-up video left for him by his girlfriend, Lana. She offered support by giving a devestated Clark a comforting hug.

[edit] In the Comics

Lois is Superman's chief romantic interest and, in the current DC Comics continuity, his wife. Like Superman’s alter ego Clark Kent, she is a reporter for The Daily Planet. Depictions of Lois Lane have varied in the nearly 70-year history of Superman comic books and other media adaptations.

Unlike the series, Lois never met Clark Kent before his arrival in Metropolis. Upon Superman's debut, she became highly infatuated with the Man of Steel and simply saw Clark as a foppish, clumsy co-worker. Eventually, she decided to date Clark, seemingly losing her infatuation for Superman, replacing it with serious love for her boyfriend. Clark proposed to her and she gladly accepted. Not long after this, Clark revealed his identity to her. In the comic books she and Clark adopted Lor-Zod, General Zod and Ursa's son.

Lois is always a tough-as-nails journalist and intellectual equal to Superman. Although there is no guarantee that Smallville will adhere to any one Superman storyline, it is unclear if Clark and Lois will end up together, as in the comics, or break up, as in the feature films, in the course of the series. It is unclear where this relationship will go, as they are currently not together, but the possibility is now there since "Superman Returns" came out on film.
