"This has got Lucy written all over it with backstabbing bitch-berry lip gloss." - Lois Lane, Ambush

Lucy Lane is the younger sister of Lois Lane.

Physical AppearanceEdit

In her first appearance in Lucy, she was incredibly beautiful, and her demeanor was calm and pretty. She has green eyes and is a brunette. In her in latest appearance in Ambush, she is grown up, and potentially even more beautiful than before.

PersonalityEdit

Lucy is characterized as being highly intelligent but in a manipulative kind of way. A femme fatale character, she is able to make herself appear vulnerable and in need of protection while in fact she is completely independent. She speaks three foreign languages fluently (German, Mandarin, and Spanish), is a straight-A student, and plays classical violin. She is also a very good skier. During her first appearance, she seems to reveal an attraction to Clark Kent, much to his delight and Lois' slight annoyance.

Lucy is also very manipulative, and a skilled liar. Despite the Kents' hospitality to both her and her sister, she felt no remorse at attempting to steal from them. She also knew exactly what to say to Clark to deceive him into asking Lex Luthor for the money. Lois played a big part in raising Lucy after their mother died, but Lucy simply told her to stop trying to be her mother and revealed that she was always jealous of Lois for being able to spend so much time with their father. It is apparent that Lucy is used to getting her big sister to clean up her messes, with little gratitude or appreciation. With all these traits, she could best be described as a sociopath.

Lucy has also demonstrated no qualms about instigating petty drama. When she visited Clark and Lois for Thanksgiving along with the General (their father), she intentionally kissed Clark, in the hopes of either stealing Clark from Lois or at least instigating a fight between them. However, Lois knew her sister's tactics and did not fall for it.

Lucy and Lois' relationship seemingly bears some similarities to the one between Lex and his younger brother.

Early lifeEdit

Lucy was shipped off to boarding school in Switzerland by her father General Lane. While overseas, Lucy met the Swiss criminal and loan shark Marcus Becker. They thought up a plan to extort money from Lex Luthor.

Season FourEdit

Lucy showed up in Smallville with a story about how she had got in with the wrong crowd, ran up her credit cards, and now owed a loan shark $50,000.

After Clark went to Lex for help, Lex seized the opportunity to apprehend Becker, who happened to be an old business acquaintance. But while exchanging the money, Becker pistol-whipped Lex and kidnapped Lois and (seemingly) Lucy as well, holding them all hostage in the back of an 18-wheeler.

However, Lois and Clark realized at the same time that Lucy was using them all. Unknown to everyone, Clark intercepted the truck and was able to use his powers to incapacitate and apprehend Becker.

In the confusion, Lucy got away with Lex's money and went into hiding.

Letter to LoisEdit

Lucy left an apology note to Lois in Lex's car.

Lo,

The General always said, "If you want inner peace, prepare for mental war." Well, my emotional troops are about to give up the fight, so I'm off to search for the lesson to be learned from all of this on my own. I hope you can forgive me.

I do love you. And I am sorry.

Lucy

Lucy's reference to "the General" refers to Lucy and Lois' father General Sam Lane. As military brats, Lucy and Lois often used military metaphors (e.g. "prepare for mental war", "my emotional troops are about to give up the fight") when they talked about their family.

Season NineEdit

When Lois was under the influence of gemstone kryptonite, she called Lucy to tell her she is getting married. Lucy can be heard screaming for joy through the phone. Lucy is not mentioned by name, but Lois refers to her when she says, "Okay I have breaking news sis." Since Lois only has one sister it is assumed she was talking to Lucy.

Season TenEdit

Lucy and General Lane came to visit Lois and Clark at the Kent Farm for Thanksgiving. However, Lucy wanted to test Clark's loyalty to Lois and kissed him in time to be caught by Lois, intending to cause tension between the couple. Lois was not amused and knew perfectly well that Lucy had instigated this.

Lucy, in the hopes of winning favor with her father, Sam, agreed to help a disguised Rick Flag exposed Clark as an ally with the vigilantes. Flag gave her an envelope of photos, which showed Clark's meeting with Kara, and also planted a homing device on Sam, supposedly to keep him safe. In truth, however, Rick Flag, wanting the Vigilante Registration Act to fail, had planted the photos to turn the General against Clark, and to draw him away from the Kent farm, so as to kill him.

At the Talon apartment, Lois pleaded with the General to accept her relationship with Clark, to which both the General and Lucy attempted to claim their actions were solely out of their desire to protect her. Lois refused this, and tearfully told them that if they loved her, they would respect her choice to be with Clark. Realizing that Lois was right, Lucy and the General departed, moments before the missile aimed for the General, nearly killed Lois. The Talon was destroyed, but Clark rescued her, gaining the respect of both Lucy and the General. Meanwhile, Lucy came to admit that she didn't mean to hurt Lois. Although Lois didn't fully trust Lucy, she seemed to accept her sister and the two came to terms with their sibling issues.

In the ComicsEdit

After Lois became a reporter for the Daily Planet Lucy became a flight attendant and air traffic controller. She was Lois' Maid of Honor when she married Clark. Lucy has often been romantically linked to Jimmy Olsen until the mid 90's when she started dating Daily Planet reporter Ron Troupe, and the two had a son (Samuel Troupe) and married.

After a long disappearance from the principal storylines, Lucy Lane returns in the one shot Superman: New Krypton. Her past with Ron Troupe is not referenced (despite Troupe having resurfaced in the current storylines, working again with the Daily Planet). Whether Lucy's marriage to Ron Troupe, or the birth of their child Samuel Troupe, are still in continuity, or were erased by the time-altering effects of the Infinite Crisis are still unknown.

Her long disappearance is explained by her joining the military, in a desperate, post-mortem attempt to appease her (presumed) dead father's desire to have a son able to carry on his career in the military. Bitter and angrier than in her former appearances, she blames Lois for General Sam Lane's death during the war against Imperiex. Essentially, she thinks Lois broke his heart by putting her love for Superman before her duties as a daughter.

Lucy references her former appearances, even mentioning her dating boys in Lois' circle as failed attempts to live her life through her more successful sister, but she eventually chooses to sacrifice her life and live the military career her father intended for Lois, driving an even deeper wedge between the two sisters. However their father is still alive, and working with the government secretly.

In the most recent issue of Supergirl, she is unmasked by Kara and revealed to be the evil Superwoman who had been battling against Supergirl she gained the appearance of Kryptonian powers via a powered up costume. Lucy seemed to have died in battle against Supergirl. Lucy was brought back to life in Supergirl Annual #1 due to the magical energies of her Suprwoman suit. She was found by her father in Supergirl 50.

Sam's feelings towards his daughter were unclear as part of him was pleased to know Lucy was alive, but he was also disgusted by the fact that Lucy had essentially become 100% Kryptonian as a result of her battle with Supergirl. When General Lane orchestrated the utter destruction of New Krypton, it provoked a war between the Kyrptonian survivors and Earth. Lucy and General Lane were confronted by Supergirl and Lois Lane. Rather than admit to his crimes as a genocidal maniac, Sam Lane killed himself, leaving Lucy swearing vengeance against all Kryptonians and her sister.

Different versions of the character in both movies and comics have had Lucy shared a room with the cousin of Clark Kent, Kara Kent AKA Supergirl. In the 80's Superman reboot she became blind and even attempted suicide, but was saved by a Bizarro who was a damaged clone of Superman after the Bizarro's fight with Superman it was crushed into a dust that cured Lucy of her blindness somehow. Both of these plots have been slowly removed from comic history.
