Personality
Lois is a strongwilled and brave woman with a strong sense of journalistic ethics. When she finds a story, she has every intention in publishing it. However, Lois's bravery often leads to moments of foolhardy boldness, which get her into trouble, requiring Superman to rescue her. Although she is upset of all the times Superman had get her out of trouble, Lois is still grateful for what Superman does for her.

As seen with her interactions with Chris Kent, Lois can also be very protective and motherly.
Lois also has a strained relationship with his father for putting his military career over his family. She also has a complicated, yet positive relationship with Lucy, her sister. She often acts as a mentor towards Jimmy Olsen and loves Perry White as a father.
History
Lois Lane was born to Same and Ella Lane, being a “army brat” Lois gained her training in hand-to-hand combat and use of firearms from her father. She even teased that her father had taught her how to throw knives with her feet. These skills have come in handy a few times when she had got into a tough spot. Lois attended college and gained her degree in journalism, starting that career off with the Daily Planet when she was just 19 years old. She had lied about her age in order to get the job, but her little sister soon ratted her out to Perry and she had lost her chance to work. That was until she heard Perry mention that he wanted a story about Lex Luthor. She snuck out of her house that night, and on a military base that wasn’t easy, and onto the Luthor property. She was soon caught by Lex, but he sent her on her way and Perry hired her; Lois has stayed there ever since.
Lois would quickly rise as a premiere reporter at the Daily Planet, winning multiple awards before one of the biggest stories of her career turned up: the day she met Superman. Lois was invited aboard an experimental space shuttle, the Constitution, that was supposed to land at Metropolis airport. Unfortunately, the shuttle began to crash. Suddenly, a mysterious flying man appeared and grabbed hold of the plan, guiding it to safety. As soon as the shuttle was on the ground, Lois burst out of the shuttle, running right for the man. Unfortunately, a crowd quickly tried to mob the mysterious man, so he flew away. Lois got the byline for the newspaper and was the first to call him by the name the whole world would soon know: Superman.
After many unsuccessful attempts to track down Superman, Lois decided to fake an accident to get his attention--she drove her car into the bay. Superman was right on cue, and after pulling her from the water, he agreed to a brief interview. Much to Lois's chagrin, however, when she tried to file the story with Perry, she found that a new reporter Perry just hired had beaten her on the exclusive story of Superman -- a young reporter named Clark Kent. It took Lois quite some time to forgive Clark for beating her to the punch, but eventually she got over it and they became good friends, and later began dating.
Shortly before Superman's debut in Metropolis, the Daily Planet was having financial problems. Lex Luthor owned every media in Metropolis and used it to enforce his public image as a wealthy benefactor, and the Planet was the only media source not controlled by Luthor and condemned his actions with an outrageous editorial written by Perry White himself. Lois, as the Planet's best reporter, had also written several articles against Luthor. However, this had let the Planet to the brink bankruptcy, forcing White to stop attacking Luthor.
In one private meeting with Perry, Lois argued with him about the Planet's recent policy of not publishing articles against Luthor. Suddenly, Clark arrived and White introduced him to Lois and Jimmy. Lois offers to show Clark how the Planet works and Perry accepts. As they get to Lois's disorganized desk, a secretary brings some flowers to Lois sent by John Corben, and Lois throws to the garbage can, saying that she hates flowers. Then, she finds a bra and a blonde wig and brings Clark to the Lexcorp to investigate about Luthor's next military project.
Arriving at the Lexcorp building, Clark helps Lois climb over the fence, as Daily Planet employees are no longer welcome in Luthor's property. Then, Lois tells Clark that she knows about his "act", he wants to be underestimated. Lois says that the reason Perry hired him is because he saw something in him and she does too. Changing the subject, Lois tells Clark to go to the front door while she slips in the back.
Lois gets to the top floor and witnesses the unveling of a powered exoskeleton created by Lexcorp. However, she is discovered by the bodyguards. Lois tries to escape, but she trips over one of the exoskeleton's cables and falls off the rooftop. However, Clark puts on his suit and rescues her. Lois and the public are amazed by the mysterious hero, but as the public surrounds Clark, he flies away.[5]
The next day, Lois begins her article about the mysterious hero and the Daily Planet staff harasses her with questions about him, until Perry tells them to back off. Suddenly, Lexcorp security guards barge into the Planet and demand that Lois and Clark go to the building and explain what happened to Luthor.
As they are brought to Luthor's office, Lois prepares to ask some questions to Luthor. Luthor comes in, and Lois asks Luthor some questions about his recent illegal activities. Luthor offers to answer this questions, but also says that her father sends his regards to her. Lois is shocked that her father is here, and Luthor replies that General Lane came to Metropolis to discuss with Luthor about Lexcorp's new exoskeleton.
The interview begins and Luthor reveals that he brought Lois and Clark to Lexcorp so that they can tell him about the flying man and he can press charges against him. Lois feels irritated by this and replies that Luthor is the one they should press charges against. Suddenly, Clark hears some people in danger with his super-hearing and leaves under the excuse of going to the bathroom. Lexcorp guards evacuate Lois and Luthor, when Rudy Jones, a Daily Planet janitor mutated by radioactive waste, attacks them. Suddenly, Clark appears and fights Jones. The fights gets to the streets and Clark defeats Jones. Luthor, angry by what happenes, questions the flying man about his intentions. When Clark says that he just wants to help people, but Luthor shouts to everyone present that the flying should not be trusted. The flying man leaves, and Lois feels bad for him.
Lois, feeling that the flying man is sincere, writes a positive article about him and creates the name everyone would know the flying man by: Superman. She presents her article to Perry, and he agress to run it along a picture Jimmy took of the flying man. Perry then makes Lois and Jimmy a team.
The article is a success and earns the Daily Planet a reputation of being the only newspaper in Metropolis to depict Superman in a positive way.[6]
Lois and Jimmy are present when Superman saves a Daily Planet distribution center from a fire. As Superman talks with them about what happened, Lois believes that the fire was intentionally caused. Superman agrees, since his microscopic vision detected some traces of gasoline.
At the Daily Planet, Lois is visited by John Corben. Lois is irritated by him, since he kept sending flowers at her, even though she told her not to four times. Although John has feelings for her, Lois tells him that they only went on one date. When John begins to behave aggresively towards Lois, Clark appears and manages to intimidate John with a strong handshake. Lois is amazed by this, and Clark asks her to have lunch with him, to which she accepts.
Lois and Clark eat lunch in a restaurant, and Lois asks Clark who he is really. Lois explains that one time Clark is shy and clumsy, and in another he is confident and resolute, believing him to be a paradox. Clark suddenly hears an emergency and leaves, much to Lois's dismay, since he was the one inviting.
Lois returns to the Daily Planet, and Jimmy shows her a live report in the TV, in which Superman is facing the U.S. Army. Suddenly, General Lane and a group of soldiers comes into the building, declaring that the Daily Planet is being closed down and Lois will have to tell him everything she knows about Superman.[7]
Lois and Perry are furious that General Lane is closing down the paper, but General Lane says that they are doing this for the safety of the United States. He then asks Lois if she trusts Superman, and she replies that she trusts Superman more that she trusts his father. However, General Lane replies that Superman is an alien, but Lois says that it does not matter. General Lane reveals that the U.S. Army has a meteorite that can kill Superman. Lois and Jimmy come up with a plan to help Superman. Jimmy uses his camera to distract the soldiers while Lois escapes the building.
As she gets to the street, Lois witnesses the fight between Superman and Metallo. Lois meets up with Superman, telling him that he has to leave or the Army will kill him simply because they are afraid of him. Suddenly, Metallo re-appears and prepares to fight Superman. Superman tears Metallo's mask off, and Lois discovers that Metallo is in fact John Corben. Enraged, Metallo blasts Lois with a Kryptonite laser beam, but Superman protects her. Superman flies Metallo to the atmosphere, where the lack of air knocks him out.
As General Lane arrives, Lois tells him that he does not get to tell her what to do ever again. Superman tosses the unconscious Metallo to the street, and General Lane accuses him of attacking a U.S. soldier, but Lois accusses Metallo of attacking innocent people. The soldiers try to arrest Superman, but the civillians protect him. To prevent a riot, Superman tells the people that they, not him or the Army or Lex Luthor, are meant to be the saviors of Metropolis. The people of Metropolis is inspired and Superman leaves.
The next day, Lois writes an article about Superman's decision to remain as Metropolis's hero. The article saves the Daily Planet from bankruptcy. Lois finds a note in her desk and goes to the rooftop. There, she finds Superman repairing the old Daily Planet globe. Superman thanks Lois for helping him think that he belongs in Metropolis. Lois replies that Superman showed her that the world doesn't have to be an unfair and dangerous place. Just as Superman and Lois are about to kiss, Jimmy comes in and tells them that the Daily Planet is the number one newspaper in Metropolis. Superman then puts the Daily Planet globe to spin once again, and Lois asks him if he is a man or an alien. His answer is "I'm Superman, Lois.
After being together for some time, Clark finally proposed to Lois with the Kent family engagement ring. Lois was distracted at the time by her mother's illness, however, and did not answer immediately. When she realized the depth of Clark's commitment to her later that night, she did in fact agree to marry him It wasn't a few weeks or months after that Clark finally got around to revealing that he and Superman were one and the same. Lois accepted the dual identity and now was in a better position to help Superman.
However Superman was killed instead, dying in Lois's arms at the foot of the Daily Planet Building after a battle royal with the monster Doomsday. On scene, Lois was given the heart wrenching task of writing the story about the death of Earth's greatest hero. Devestated by the loss, Lois realized she also had to keep up the pretense that Clark and Superman were two different people. She attended his funerals, lost in the crowd of many thousands of people, and then finally called the Kents to speak with them.[16] The Kents and Lana Lang came to Metropolis to help clear out Clark's apartment and together they all agreed to keep the secret of his double life. When Superman's body was stolen from the tomb, Lois followed the trail with some help from Charlie and other Underworlders, learning that Cadmus had stolen it. When she broke the story, Supergirl recovered the body and returned it to the tomb. Weeks later, when Jon Kent collapsed of a heart attack, Lois went to Smallville to be with Martha. Jon survived, and when he awoke he announced that he had seen Clark and brought him back with him. When Lois got back to Metropolis, multiple Superman stories began to flood in from all over the city. Going with Commissioner Henderson to the tomb, they found that it was empty.
Not only was there one Superman flying around, there were four--The Man of Tomorrow, The Last Son of Krypton, The Man of Steel, and The Metropolis Kid. Lois got to interview them all, but despite proof from the first two, she remained skeptical that any of them were the real Superman. As a matter of fact, she was among the first to recognize the Cyborg Superman for the villain that he really was. Eventually, a fifth person--wearing a black costume and not having superpowers--showed up in Metropolis claiming to be the real Superman returned to life, and Lois was one of the ones on scene to meet him. She was again skeptical, thinking it was a trick like the others, but this one knew far more than any of the others, and before taking off for a battle at Engine City he reaffirmed his love for her. When he returned from Engine City, back in costume and fully powered, there was not a doubt left in her mind (or in any one else's the world over). Along with Supergirl , Lois helped work out the return of Clark Kent--the ruse being that he had supposedly been buried in rubble leftover from Doomsday's rampage.
Clark was feeling particularly rejuvenated since his return from the dead. He surprised Lois on a Sunday morning and asked her if she would like to go to Paris for the day. The two spent the day in Paris, arriving back and heading into work Monday morning to learn some terrible news--Cat Grant's son Adam had been kidnapped and murdered. Cat was devestated at the loss, and Lois tried to be there for her as much as possible. She was relieved to find that Cat did not start drinking again. She and Clark came to Adam's funeral. Lois heard from Cat about Sasha Green, a former personal trainer of Lex Luthor II's, had gone missing. Rumor was that she moved to Coast City just before it was obliterated. Lois decided to do some digging, talking with another of Luthor's trainers as well as one of the cleaning women for LexCorp Tower. Lois remembered meeting Sasha once, when Superman's body had been stolen from the tomb, and saw Sasha knock Luthor flat. Luthor had threatened her in anger. That was the last day anyone had seen her. The cleaning woman confessed that the day Sasha went missing, the changing room had been closed, presumably for renovations. The only clue Lois had was that Sasha's gym bag (which had her name on it) was left behind at LexCorp
When Luthor decided to try and create another Bizarro, his creation rebelled and fled from LexCorp. His memories a jumble, Bizarro showed up at Lois's apartment and kidnapped her. Bizarro took her to a warehouse where he had recreated scenes from Superman's life as best he could remember. Lois managed to escape on her own. After Bizarro, dying from his unstable condition, is recaptured by Luthor, Lois goes with Superman into LexCorp to try and free him. Bizarro dies in Lois's arms, and immediately afterwards Lois learns that Lex Luthor II is badly ill--and that maybe he much more than that! A source whom she referred to as "Deep Quote" helps her escape when Superman is distracted. Thanks to her contact, Lois learns the horrible truth--that Lex Luthor II is really the original Lex Luthor, just in a clone body. She attempts to out Luthor, but thanks to Luthor's machinations she is publically discredited. Luthor's continued scheming makes Lois look more and more crazy--he also plants evidence implicating her for embezzlement from the Planet, prompting Franklin Stern to order Perry to fire her. White reluctantly follows orders, which in this instance is one of the hardest things he's ever done. Luthor even fire bombs Lois's apartment, destroying such evidence as a tape revealing that Luthor attempted to kill Sasha Green. With some more help from her contact, who is eventually revealed to be Dr. Gretchen Kelley, Lois manages to prove to Stern and Perry the truth about the cloned Luthor and also expose his work at discrediting Lois. She also uncovers Luthor's insane plan to detonate bombs all over the city (dying from the Clone Plague, Luthor has decided to take Metropolis down with him. With Metropolis erupting into a battleground, Lois retreats across the river with the other Daily Planet staffers even as Luthor launches several missiles into the heart of the city, destroying most of the major buildings--including the Daily Planet itself. Lois is saved from being crushed by the Planet's globe by Superman. Lois decides to remain in Metropolis and tough it out, helping Superman during his fight with Massacre and meeting the Riot Grrrls.
After Zero Hour, Clark is targeted for several hits, some of which look like accidents. Lois insists that Clark find out who is trying to kill him, but the bad guy makes himself known by attacking Lois and Clark at his apartment--Conduit, whom Clark discovers much to his horror is really an old friend from Smallville, Kenny Braverman. When a body is discovered in Superman's tomb, Lois temporarily has her doubt that the living Man of Steel is the original, but all is set to right when the body turns out to be an illusion created by Brainiac.
Curiously enough, much like when Clark proposed to Lois he was powerless, when they got married he was also lacking his super abilities, this time because of the recent Final Night. Lucy Lane and Jimmy Olsen were the Maid of Honor and Best Man. Lois got into a fight with her dad during the rehearsal dinner, prompting him to almost not come, but he showed up at the ceremony just after it began. Also, Bruce Wayne suprises the couple with a wedding present by allowing them to lease a spacious apartment at 1938 Sullivan St. in Metropolis.
Lois decided to keep her maiden named, going by "Ms. Lane." Her sister Lucy gave her a wedding present in the form of ticket to Hawaii. While in Hawaii they were attacked and Clark was kidnapped, prompting "Mrs. Superman" to go after him. Going commando Lois managed to track down her husband and single handedly rescue him from a den of terrorists.
The week before the wedding, Clark had been approached by Maxima with another offer to be her mate. Realizing he was powerless, she flew off in disgust. Once Superman got them back, however, shortly after the honeymoon, Maxima returned and made her offer again. When Superman turned her down again--this time with a very good reason--she actually attacked him, but he was able to drive her off.
When a man who looks like Clark is murdered outside the Daily Planet building, Lois and Clark begin their own investigation--and discover that Intergang is back!
Things rarely stay "normal" for long when you're married to Superman. Clark had just gotten his powers back when suddenly they begin to go haywire--Lois goes with him on a trip to the Fortress of Solitude, but the situation only gets worse as he seems to begin to phase in an out of reality.[52] As his situation worsenes, the Atomic Skull escapes custody and kidnaps Lois, thinking she is really his long lost love, Zelda. Working with the SCU, Lois is able to help Superman defeat the Atomic Skull, but the two of them wonder if Superman will ever be the same.[53] Superman continues to transform into pure energy, but at the last second, some suspicous help from Lex Luthor and the Contessa allow him to stabilize his condition, leading to his phase as Superman Blue. Now an energy being as Superman, he transforms into a perfectly human Clark Kent (which means he is perfectly vulnerable) and Lois has to help him work on it.
Things get strained, however, when Superman is split into two beings: a Superman Red and a Superman Blue
After Superman was restored to normal, he was drawn into a plot by the villain Dominus to try and find Kismet. Dominus altered Superman's perceptions of reality, causing him to live in four different time periods: the 1940s, 1960s, late 1970s, and the distance future. Lois existed in each of these, of course, and was just as strong willed and determined as ever. In one of the realities, as Superman and Lois battle the Nazis in WWII, they kiss--and their kiss breaks through the illusions of Dominus's power. Superman still has to continue the battle against Dominus, but he eventually is able to get back to the right reality and defeat Dominus...or so he thinks.
Lex Luthor decides to be more vindictive. He buys the Daily Planet, which was recently struggling for money, and subsequently shuts it down, firing everyone but Lois, Jimmy, and two others, whom he transfers to his new company, LexCom. Luthor has no room for traditional journalism, however--the job at LexCom involves scouring the Internet for stories as they happen and posting them together on LexCom's website. Lois is miserable--but Luthor uses the elevator system in the LexCom building to keep her from going out and doing any real journalism.
The day they took the globe down from the Daily Planet, Lois discovered that her sister was pregnant and that Ron Troupe was the father (she was somewhat relieved it was not Jimmy Olsen).
Superman soon starts to act strange--believing that he is having prophetic dreams, he begins a frantic 24/7 patrol of Earth, trying to stay one step ahead of every disaster. Lois is shocked when he announces that he has to give up being Clark Kent and go to live at the Fortress. She refuses to go there with him, thinking that something is terribly wrong with her husband. She joins the Kents in trying to talk some sense into him, but they are as unsuccessful as the rest of the Justice League and the Superman family.As Superman continues to go farther in his obsession to keep the world safe, building an army of Super-Robots to help him patrol the earth, Lois writes a scathing article denouncing this change in his attitudes, citing that the last thing the world needs is a Superman Rex. As Superman and his army continue to go out of control, Lois decides to take matters into her own hands. With some help from STAR Labs, she ventures to the Fortress of Solitude, arriving and discovering that it has grown substantially and has incredible defenses. As the JLA and the U.N. battle Superman and his robots on the outside, Lois manages to get inside the Fortress. Tearfully, she confronts her husband on what he's become, and after kissing him, Superman seems to come out of a trance and realize the depth of his mistakes--he was being manipulated by Dominus all along! After a long hard fight, Superman manages to win the day, returning his life to normal at long last, much to Lois's joy.
However, Superman's reputation has been tarnished, with many people feeling they can either no longer trust him or that he is not the same old Superman. Lex Luthor offers to allow Lois to host an interview with Superman, giving him the opportunity to explain himself. Lois realizes, however, that Luthor had planned on releasing Metallo into Metropolis while Superman was doing the interview, making him look even worse for not being there to save the day, so Superman has to cancel the interview.[66]
Lois is shocked when Lana Lang and her then husband Pete Ross show up with an infant--not so much them having a baby, but the fact that they named the baby Clark Peter Ross! Clark had failed to mention that they named the baby after him, which obviously caused Lois discomfort. Even Pete told her he understood if it felt like they had taken a namesake away from Lois and Clark.
Lois was as annoyed as everyone else at the Daily Planet when Lex Luthor was elected President of the United States. To make matter worse, he named her father, Sam Lane, as his Secretary of Defense, further straining the relationship between father and daughter.
ois then got to work investigated who hired La Encantadora to poison her husband. The trail first led to Africa, and she took Jimmy Olsen along with her. She had to match wits with an assassin called the Scarlet Scythe, but luckily he was a pushover. Lois discovers that the man responsible for the hit is from Pokolistan, a small former Soviet sattelite state, but is attacked by Kancer befoe she can disclose this to Superman--but he learns it anyway. Before his investigation can begin, Superman has to rescue Lois from an alien pastiche of the Borg. After Superman decides to go to Pokolistan alone, Lois assmebles Supergirl, Superboy, and Kelex, wearing Steel's armor, to tail Superman there and back him up. The backup is needed to fight against Kancer and Ignition--especially when an armored "general" shows up and breaks Superman's jaw with a sucker punch. The super-team withdraws, and Superman admits to Lois that as soon as he saw the "general" he knew that he was responsible for his poisoning and for Kancer--and that Superman was afraid.
Lois also got an opportunity to talk with Wonder Woman in the form of a long interview that began with an around the world tour and that ended in a round of pool in Suicide Slum. Lois, having long had feelings of jealousy towards the Amazon Princess, took the opportunity to clear the air somewhat...she explained that it's difficult with Diana seeming so perfect and the whole world being convinced that Superman and Wonder Woman must be an item. Diana adamentally maintains that the two of them are and will always be just close friends.
During the Final Crisis, Lois and Perry are caught in an explosion triggered by Clayface destroying the Daily Planet and apparently Lois is seriously injured. In the third issue, it is revealed that only Clark's heat vision is keeping her heart beating. Clark is visited by a mysterious phantom who insists that he must depart Earth immediately if he is to save his wife's life. the female Monitor Zillo Valla stops time around Lois, allowing Superman to leave her side for a while, recruiting him and several of his multiversal doppelgangers in a mission to save the entire Multiverse, promising immediate care for Lois. After facing off against the dark Monitor Mandrakk, Superman brought back a distilled drop of The Bleed, and administered it through a kiss, restoring her to full health. Lois was later seen as one of the few still free humans. When Superman reveals his plan to use the Miracle Machine to reconstruct the multiverse as it was before Darkseid's ascension, Lois, Supergirl and Jimmy send a rocket through time as a time capsule, containing mementos of their Earth in case the Miracle Machine doesn't work. Later, Lois gives Superman a good luck kiss before he activates the Miracle Machine. Superman's plan works and the multiverse is saved.
After the events of the Superman: New Krypton Superman must leave Earth for a undetermined amount of time swearing off his Earthly connections in the eyes of his fellow Kryptonians to keep an eye on General Zod the New Kryptonian military commander but secretly tells Lois he still considers her his wife and will come back to her. In recent issues of Action Comics Lois has reunited with Christopher Kent who has aged to adulthood in the past months and became the new Metropolis hero Nightwing and spoke to his partner Thara Ak-Var the new Flamebird on the two's (possible romantic) relationship.
Lois heard that her sister Lucy Lane is killed during battle with Supergirl where Supergirl and Lana visit Lois's apartment to tell her the bad news. Lois doesn't believe that her sister is dead and refuses to accept the news until she has irrefutable proof. Supergirl is very apologetic, but Lois wants nothing to do with her right now. Before kicking her out, Lois asks Supergirl for a recovered piece of Superwoman's costume. Superman briefly returns to Earth to pursue a criminal from Krypton. Lois tells him about their son's return.
Lois hands her exposé in and the government are after her for treason. With agents on her tail, Lois makes a mad dash for it. When Lois is in custody and awakens, her father Sam Lane is there to greet her in an interview room in an unnamed facility. Although Lois is happy to see her father alive her love soon turns to anger when she realizes Lucy was fully aware of her actions and Kara was telling the truth. Sam tells Lois the only reason he's being this lenient with her is that she is his daughter. He threatens to make her disappear forever, never to see the light of day again, where not even Superman could save her, if she continues. He tells Lois, he does love her but the planet will always come first over his family. Lois returns to the Daily Planet under cover of night and explains all to Perry. Lois points out that the whole paper is at risk and everyone connected to it if her exposé runs. Perry understands and though he must protect the paper he is first and foremost a good journalist and nudges Lois in the right direction; he refuses to run the story but notes the story must get out to the people somehow. Enlightened, she quits the Daily Planet, as Lois gets her edge back. However, it was later revealed that Lois never really quit the Daily Planet.
In an effort to save his mother from the Reverse-Flash, Flash unknowingly changed reality, drastically altering the lives of many people, Lois included.
In this new world, Lois's life with her father was still the same, however, his father was member of Project Superman, a secret government project to create a supersoldier that could be used against America's enemies. Due to her father's involvement in the project, Lois did not spend too much time with him.
On his birthday, Lois sneaked into the project facility and entered her father's office to bring him a birthday cake. Suddenly, Kal-El entered Sam's office at the two saw each other for the first time. When they were about to grab each other's hands, Subject Zero enters the room. Zero, wanting revenge against General Lane for the experiments he endured, tries to kill Lois, but Kal defends her. In that moment, General Lane enters the room with a device that seals him and Zero in the Phantom Zone.
When she reached maturity, Lois became a reporter for the Daily Planet. At that time, the Amazons and the Atlanteans were waging war. She and her partner, Jimmy Olsen, are sent to Paris, France, to report a fashion show, when the Atlanteans flood Western Europe. Lois, along all the women present are saved by the Amazons, but Jimmy and the men are left to die.
Lois is taken to a concentration camp in New Themiscyra, formerly England. There, she recieves a transmission from Cyborg, America's greatest superhero, in Jimmy's camera. Cyborg reveals to Lois that Jimmy was an agent trying to make contact with the Resistance movement in England. Lois offers to continue Jimmy's duties, and Cyborg agrees.
During the course of 24 weeks, Lois reports to Cyborg that the Amazons declared martial law and recruited women to fight the Atlanteans, using technology to give the recruits Amazonian powers. Also, there is a high failure rate in the process, which transforms women into beasts that they use to train recruits with. In week 32, Lois is scheduled for procedure. She manages to escape with the help of Penny Black, a British Navy officer.
Lois escapes to the sewers and manages to make contact with the Resistance, led by Grifter. She shows the Resistance a recording made by Penny, in which she reveals Lois's status as Cyborg's agent to Grifter. As they walk across the sewers, Grifter tells Lois about his first meeting with Penny, revealing that she is in fact the superhero Britannia. Their mission in England is to help Penny recover her Britannia armor so that the tide of the war can turn. The Resistance gets to a secret room, where Penny is healing from she recieved when she was helping Lois escape. Penny uses Lois's camera and discovers that the armor is hidden under the Westminster Palace.
Using Zodiac boats, the Resistance gets to the Westminster Palace, but as soon as they get to a secret entrance to the palace, the Amazons ambush them. Bobbie Stephenson, also Resistance member Miss Hyde, reveals that she told the Amazons about the Resistance's plans because they offered her a cure to Miss Hyde. She threatens the Resistance to surrender, holding a knife against Lois' throat.
Fortunately, Miss Hyde regains control of Stephenson's body, allowing the Resistance to fight the Amazons evenly. While the Resistance defeats the Amazons, Lois takes Penny to an underground bunker, where the armor is located. Suddenly, Artemis attacks Lois while Penny puts the suit on. Just as Artemis is about to kill Lois, Penny, wearing the armor, kills Artemis by ripping her in half.
While Britannia goes to help the Resistance, Lois gets to a comm station in the bunker. She uses the transmitter to broadcast a message to the entire world, revealing the Amazons's war crimes and the Resistance's efforts to free England. Suddenly, a group of Amazons sneaks up behind Lois and tries to kill her.
However, Kal-El appears and saves her. Reuniting after several years, Kal-El tells Lois that he came to take her away so that she can be save. However, Lois refuses to leave, saying that she needs to stay so that the Amazon-Atlantean war can finally end. Suddenly, Subject Zero appears and tries to kill Lois, but Kal smashes him with a car.
As Kal and Zero fight, a group of Amazon appears to take control of the situation, but Zero quickly kills them. As the fight between resumes, Kal discovers that Zero's body is beginning to overload from the energy he absorbs from his dead opponents. Kal manages to destroy Zero in a massive explosion.
Unfortunately, Lois is caught in the blast, and Kal cradles her in his arms. Lois dies but not before begging Kal to use his powers to save the people. Kal, honoring her last request, becomes a Superman.
Fortunately, the Flash manages to change reality once again, restoring Lois back to life.

Sample Role Play Post
Lois Lane stood outside of the bank and looked down at her watch. She was running late for work and Perry most likely would have a few words for her. But she didn’t care she had a few errands to run this morning and she had slept in. She knew Clark wouldn’t be at work, he was off saving someone from something once again, so maybe it would be a good thing being late. If he came back at the right time they would both go to work together and let Perry deal with the pair of them. This caused a smile on her face and she threw away her empty coffee cup and entered the bank.
She really only had this one last stop, cashing her paycheck, and then it would be time to go into work. Sadly it was a sad news week, nothing was really going on in the world and so it was slow. She was forced to write a story about a dog that pulled a boy out of a building. A heartfelt story but something very boring compare to what she was use to writing.
This was about to change as she walked up to the counter and three men in mask entered the bank guns drawn. They ordered everyone to the ground, some people where not moving fast enough and they shot a round into the ceiling. Lois did as she was ordered, but pulled out a piece of paper and pen. Quickly she started to write down everything she was seeing. She watched as a man stepped up right to where she was setting and ordered the lady that had been helping Lois to empty her till. From her experiences of being in the bad place at the wrong time, she knew already this was not a good spot to be setting. She was after all the only one here and when the cops showed up, she would be a tool for them to use.
It was as if what she was thinking was telling the story. Cop cars started to pull up and police poured out of their cars. The man beside her panic and grabbed the first thing they could on Lois, which happen to be her hair, and pulled her to her feet and the gun went right to the side of her head. She struggled to get free, her paper and pen hitting the ground, but it was no point he was a little stronger then her and the gun was pointed at a vital part of her body. And so she was force to walk half dragged to the entrance of the bank and shown off to the cops, who didn’t lower weapons but didn’t do anything either.
A golden opportunity came when a red streak came flying across the window. Lois new it was Superman, and she was sure he would know that she was here. What an ear full she was going to get today and she hadn’t even looked for this story but oh well. When the man holding her was wondering what had just flown past he dropped the gun slightly, Lois taking the chance stomped on his foot and elbowed him in the gut. This caused him to scream in pain and pull back from her. She again took another chance to aim a good kick at his groin, which earn a shot from one of his friends in her directions. Lois stood there, and like you see in the movies, everything seemed to slow down as her life flashed in her eyes slightly. She could see the bullet coming at her but there was nothing she could do.
As if on cue Superman flew through the window and took the bullet for her, and before Lois could blink the three men were taken care of.
“I think for now on I’ll let my husband go to the bank.” Lois said as she went over to get her paper and looked up to give Superman a slight knowing smile.

History
Lois Lane was born to Same and Ella Lane, being a “army brat” Lois gained her training in hand-to-hand combat and use of firearms from her father. She even teased that her father had taught her how to throw knives with her feet. These skills have come in handy a few times when she had got into a tough spot. Lois attended college and gained her degree in journalism, starting that career off with the Daily Planet when she was just 19 years old. She had lied about her age in order to get the job, but her little sister soon ratted her out to Perry and she had lost her chance to work. That was until she heard Perry mention that he wanted a story about Lex Luthor. She snuck out of her house that night, and on a military base that wasn’t easy, and onto the Luthor property. She was soon caught by Lex, but he sent her on her way and Perry hired her; Lois has stayed there ever since.
Lois would quickly rise as a premiere reporter at the Daily Planet, winning multiple awards before one of the biggest stories of her career turned up: the day she met Superman. Lois was invited aboard an experimental space shuttle, the Constitution, that was supposed to land at Metropolis airport. Unfortunately, the shuttle began to crash. Suddenly, a mysterious flying man appeared and grabbed hold of the plan, guiding it to safety. As soon as the shuttle was on the ground, Lois burst out of the shuttle, running right for the man. Unfortunately, a crowd quickly tried to mob the mysterious man, so he flew away. Lois got the byline for the newspaper and was the first to call him by the name the whole world would soon know: Superman.
After many unsuccessful attempts to track down Superman, Lois decided to fake an accident to get his attention--she drove her car into the bay. Superman was right on cue, and after pulling her from the water, he agreed to a brief interview. Much to Lois's chagrin, however, when she tried to file the story with Perry, she found that a new reporter Perry just hired had beaten her on the exclusive story of Superman -- a young reporter named Clark Kent. It took Lois quite some time to forgive Clark for beating her to the punch, but eventually she got over it and they became good friends, and later began dating.
Shortly before Superman's debut in Metropolis, the Daily Planet was having financial problems. Lex Luthor owned every media in Metropolis and used it to enforce his public image as a wealthy benefactor, and the Planet was the only media source not controlled by Luthor and condemned his actions with an outrageous editorial written by Perry White himself. Lois, as the Planet's best reporter, had also written several articles against Luthor. However, this had let the Planet to the brink bankruptcy, forcing White to stop attacking Luthor.
In one private meeting with Perry, Lois argued with him about the Planet's recent policy of not publishing articles against Luthor. Suddenly, Clark arrived and White introduced him to Lois and Jimmy. Lois offers to show Clark how the Planet works and Perry accepts. As they get to Lois's disorganized desk, a secretary brings some flowers to Lois sent by John Corben, and Lois throws to the garbage can, saying that she hates flowers. Then, she finds a bra and a blonde wig and brings Clark to the Lexcorp to investigate about Luthor's next military project.
Arriving at the Lexcorp building, Clark helps Lois climb over the fence, as Daily Planet employees are no longer welcome in Luthor's property. Then, Lois tells Clark that she knows about his "act", he wants to be underestimated. Lois says that the reason Perry hired him is because he saw something in him and she does too. Changing the subject, Lois tells Clark to go to the front door while she slips in the back.
Lois gets to the top floor and witnesses the unveling of a powered exoskeleton created by Lexcorp. However, she is discovered by the bodyguards. Lois tries to escape, but she trips over one of the exoskeleton's cables and falls off the rooftop. However, Clark puts on his suit and rescues her. Lois and the public are amazed by the mysterious hero, but as the public surrounds Clark, he flies away.[5]
The next day, Lois begins her article about the mysterious hero and the Daily Planet staff harasses her with questions about him, until Perry tells them to back off. Suddenly, Lexcorp security guards barge into the Planet and demand that Lois and Clark go to the building and explain what happened to Luthor.
As they are brought to Luthor's office, Lois prepares to ask some questions to Luthor. Luthor comes in, and Lois asks Luthor some questions about his recent illegal activities. Luthor offers to answer this questions, but also says that her father sends his regards to her. Lois is shocked that her father is here, and Luthor replies that General Lane came to Metropolis to discuss with Luthor about Lexcorp's new exoskeleton.
The interview begins and Luthor reveals that he brought Lois and Clark to Lexcorp so that they can tell him about the flying man and he can press charges against him. Lois feels irritated by this and replies that Luthor is the one they should press charges against. Suddenly, Clark hears some people in danger with his super-hearing and leaves under the excuse of going to the bathroom. Lexcorp guards evacuate Lois and Luthor, when Rudy Jones, a Daily Planet janitor mutated by radioactive waste, attacks them. Suddenly, Clark appears and fights Jones. The fights gets to the streets and Clark defeats Jones. Luthor, angry by what happenes, questions the flying man about his intentions. When Clark says that he just wants to help people, but Luthor shouts to everyone present that the flying should not be trusted. The flying man leaves, and Lois feels bad for him.
Lois, feeling that the flying man is sincere, writes a positive article about him and creates the name everyone would know the flying man by: Superman. She presents her article to Perry, and he agress to run it along a picture Jimmy took of the flying man. Perry then makes Lois and Jimmy a team.
The article is a success and earns the Daily Planet a reputation of being the only newspaper in Metropolis to depict Superman in a positive way.[6]
Lois and Jimmy are present when Superman saves a Daily Planet distribution center from a fire. As Superman talks with them about what happened, Lois believes that the fire was intentionally caused. Superman agrees, since his microscopic vision detected some traces of gasoline.
At the Daily Planet, Lois is visited by John Corben. Lois is irritated by him, since he kept sending flowers at her, even though she told her not to four times. Although John has feelings for her, Lois tells him that they only went on one date. When John begins to behave aggresively towards Lois, Clark appears and manages to intimidate John with a strong handshake. Lois is amazed by this, and Clark asks her to have lunch with him, to which she accepts.
Lois and Clark eat lunch in a restaurant, and Lois asks Clark who he is really. Lois explains that one time Clark is shy and clumsy, and in another he is confident and resolute, believing him to be a paradox. Clark suddenly hears an emergency and leaves, much to Lois's dismay, since he was the one inviting.
Lois returns to the Daily Planet, and Jimmy shows her a live report in the TV, in which Superman is facing the U.S. Army. Suddenly, General Lane and a group of soldiers comes into the building, declaring that the Daily Planet is being closed down and Lois will have to tell him everything she knows about Superman.[7]
Lois and Perry are furious that General Lane is closing down the paper, but General Lane says that they are doing this for the safety of the United States. He then asks Lois if she trusts Superman, and she replies that she trusts Superman more that she trusts his father. However, General Lane replies that Superman is an alien, but Lois says that it does not matter. General Lane reveals that the U.S. Army has a meteorite that can kill Superman. Lois and Jimmy come up with a plan to help Superman. Jimmy uses his camera to distract the soldiers while Lois escapes the building.
As she gets to the street, Lois witnesses the fight between Superman and Metallo. Lois meets up with Superman, telling him that he has to leave or the Army will kill him simply because they are afraid of him. Suddenly, Metallo re-appears and prepares to fight Superman. Superman tears Metallo's mask off, and Lois discovers that Metallo is in fact John Corben. Enraged, Metallo blasts Lois with a Kryptonite laser beam, but Superman protects her. Superman flies Metallo to the atmosphere, where the lack of air knocks him out.
As General Lane arrives, Lois tells him that he does not get to tell her what to do ever again. Superman tosses the unconscious Metallo to the street, and General Lane accuses him of attacking a U.S. soldier, but Lois accusses Metallo of attacking innocent people. The soldiers try to arrest Superman, but the civillians protect him. To prevent a riot, Superman tells the people that they, not him or the Army or Lex Luthor, are meant to be the saviors of Metropolis. The people of Metropolis is inspired and Superman leaves.
The next day, Lois writes an article about Superman's decision to remain as Metropolis's hero. The article saves the Daily Planet from bankruptcy. Lois finds a note in her desk and goes to the rooftop. There, she finds Superman repairing the old Daily Planet globe. Superman thanks Lois for helping him think that he belongs in Metropolis. Lois replies that Superman showed her that the world doesn't have to be an unfair and dangerous place. Just as Superman and Lois are about to kiss, Jimmy comes in and tells them that the Daily Planet is the number one newspaper in Metropolis. Superman then puts the Daily Planet globe to spin once again, and Lois asks him if he is a man or an alien. His answer is "I'm Superman, Lois.
After being together for some time, Clark finally proposed to Lois with the Kent family engagement ring. Lois was distracted at the time by her mother's illness, however, and did not answer immediately. When she realized the depth of Clark's commitment to her later that night, she did in fact agree to marry him It wasn't a few weeks or months after that Clark finally got around to revealing that he and Superman were one and the same. Lois accepted the dual identity and now was in a better position to help Superman.
However Superman was killed instead, dying in Lois's arms at the foot of the Daily Planet Building after a battle royal with the monster Doomsday. On scene, Lois was given the heart wrenching task of writing the story about the death of Earth's greatest hero. Devestated by the loss, Lois realized she also had to keep up the pretense that Clark and Superman were two different people. She attended his funerals, lost in the crowd of many thousands of people, and then finally called the Kents to speak with them.[16] The Kents and Lana Lang came to Metropolis to help clear out Clark's apartment and together they all agreed to keep the secret of his double life. When Superman's body was stolen from the tomb, Lois followed the trail with some help from Charlie and other Underworlders, learning that Cadmus had stolen it. When she broke the story, Supergirl recovered the body and returned it to the tomb. Weeks later, when Jon Kent collapsed of a heart attack, Lois went to Smallville to be with Martha. Jon survived, and when he awoke he announced that he had seen Clark and brought him back with him. When Lois got back to Metropolis, multiple Superman stories began to flood in from all over the city. Going with Commissioner Henderson to the tomb, they found that it was empty.
Not only was there one Superman flying around, there were four--The Man of Tomorrow, The Last Son of Krypton, The Man of Steel, and The Metropolis Kid. Lois got to interview them all, but despite proof from the first two, she remained skeptical that any of them were the real Superman. As a matter of fact, she was among the first to recognize the Cyborg Superman for the villain that he really was. Eventually, a fifth person--wearing a black costume and not having superpowers--showed up in Metropolis claiming to be the real Superman returned to life, and Lois was one of the ones on scene to meet him. She was again skeptical, thinking it was a trick like the others, but this one knew far more than any of the others, and before taking off for a battle at Engine City he reaffirmed his love for her. When he returned from Engine City, back in costume and fully powered, there was not a doubt left in her mind (or in any one else's the world over). Along with Supergirl , Lois helped work out the return of Clark Kent--the ruse being that he had supposedly been buried in rubble leftover from Doomsday's rampage.
Clark was feeling particularly rejuvenated since his return from the dead. He surprised Lois on a Sunday morning and asked her if she would like to go to Paris for the day. The two spent the day in Paris, arriving back and heading into work Monday morning to learn some terrible news--Cat Grant's son Adam had been kidnapped and murdered. Cat was devestated at the loss, and Lois tried to be there for her as much as possible. She was relieved to find that Cat did not start drinking again. She and Clark came to Adam's funeral. Lois heard from Cat about Sasha Green, a former personal trainer of Lex Luthor II's, had gone missing. Rumor was that she moved to Coast City just before it was obliterated. Lois decided to do some digging, talking with another of Luthor's trainers as well as one of the cleaning women for LexCorp Tower. Lois remembered meeting Sasha once, when Superman's body had been stolen from the tomb, and saw Sasha knock Luthor flat. Luthor had threatened her in anger. That was the last day anyone had seen her. The cleaning woman confessed that the day Sasha went missing, the changing room had been closed, presumably for renovations. The only clue Lois had was that Sasha's gym bag (which had her name on it) was left behind at LexCorp
When Luthor decided to try and create another Bizarro, his creation rebelled and fled from LexCorp. His memories a jumble, Bizarro showed up at Lois's apartment and kidnapped her. Bizarro took her to a warehouse where he had recreated scenes from Superman's life as best he could remember. Lois managed to escape on her own. After Bizarro, dying from his unstable condition, is recaptured by Luthor, Lois goes with Superman into LexCorp to try and free him. Bizarro dies in Lois's arms, and immediately afterwards Lois learns that Lex Luthor II is badly ill--and that maybe he much more than that! A source whom she referred to as "Deep Quote" helps her escape when Superman is distracted. Thanks to her contact, Lois learns the horrible truth--that Lex Luthor II is really the original Lex Luthor, just in a clone body. She attempts to out Luthor, but thanks to Luthor's machinations she is publically discredited. Luthor's continued scheming makes Lois look more and more crazy--he also plants evidence implicating her for embezzlement from the Planet, prompting Franklin Stern to order Perry to fire her. White reluctantly follows orders, which in this instance is one of the hardest things he's ever done. Luthor even fire bombs Lois's apartment, destroying such evidence as a tape revealing that Luthor attempted to kill Sasha Green. With some more help from her contact, who is eventually revealed to be Dr. Gretchen Kelley, Lois manages to prove to Stern and Perry the truth about the cloned Luthor and also expose his work at discrediting Lois. She also uncovers Luthor's insane plan to detonate bombs all over the city (dying from the Clone Plague, Luthor has decided to take Metropolis down with him. With Metropolis erupting into a battleground, Lois retreats across the river with the other Daily Planet staffers even as Luthor launches several missiles into the heart of the city, destroying most of the major buildings--including the Daily Planet itself. Lois is saved from being crushed by the Planet's globe by Superman. Lois decides to remain in Metropolis and tough it out, helping Superman during his fight with Massacre and meeting the Riot Grrrls.
After Zero Hour, Clark is targeted for several hits, some of which look like accidents. Lois insists that Clark find out who is trying to kill him, but the bad guy makes himself known by attacking Lois and Clark at his apartment--Conduit, whom Clark discovers much to his horror is really an old friend from Smallville, Kenny Braverman. When a body is discovered in Superman's tomb, Lois temporarily has her doubt that the living Man of Steel is the original, but all is set to right when the body turns out to be an illusion created by Brainiac.
Curiously enough, much like when Clark proposed to Lois he was powerless, when they got married he was also lacking his super abilities, this time because of the recent Final Night. Lucy Lane and Jimmy Olsen were the Maid of Honor and Best Man. Lois got into a fight with her dad during the rehearsal dinner, prompting him to almost not come, but he showed up at the ceremony just after it began. Also, Bruce Wayne suprises the couple with a wedding present by allowing them to lease a spacious apartment at 1938 Sullivan St. in Metropolis.
Lois decided to keep her maiden named, going by "Ms. Lane." Her sister Lucy gave her a wedding present in the form of ticket to Hawaii. While in Hawaii they were attacked and Clark was kidnapped, prompting "Mrs. Superman" to go after him. Going commando Lois managed to track down her husband and single handedly rescue him from a den of terrorists.
The week before the wedding, Clark had been approached by Maxima with another offer to be her mate. Realizing he was powerless, she flew off in disgust. Once Superman got them back, however, shortly after the honeymoon, Maxima returned and made her offer again. When Superman turned her down again--this time with a very good reason--she actually attacked him, but he was able to drive her off.
When a man who looks like Clark is murdered outside the Daily Planet building, Lois and Clark begin their own investigation--and discover that Intergang is back!
Things rarely stay "normal" for long when you're married to Superman. Clark had just gotten his powers back when suddenly they begin to go haywire--Lois goes with him on a trip to the Fortress of Solitude, but the situation only gets worse as he seems to begin to phase in an out of reality.[52] As his situation worsenes, the Atomic Skull escapes custody and kidnaps Lois, thinking she is really his long lost love, Zelda. Working with the SCU, Lois is able to help Superman defeat the Atomic Skull, but the two of them wonder if Superman will ever be the same.[53] Superman continues to transform into pure energy, but at the last second, some suspicous help from Lex Luthor and the Contessa allow him to stabilize his condition, leading to his phase as Superman Blue. Now an energy being as Superman, he transforms into a perfectly human Clark Kent (which means he is perfectly vulnerable) and Lois has to help him work on it.
Things get strained, however, when Superman is split into two beings: a Superman Red and a Superman Blue
After Superman was restored to normal, he was drawn into a plot by the villain Dominus to try and find Kismet. Dominus altered Superman's perceptions of reality, causing him to live in four different time periods: the 1940s, 1960s, late 1970s, and the distance future. Lois existed in each of these, of course, and was just as strong willed and determined as ever. In one of the realities, as Superman and Lois battle the Nazis in WWII, they kiss--and their kiss breaks through the illusions of Dominus's power. Superman still has to continue the battle against Dominus, but he eventually is able to get back to the right reality and defeat Dominus...or so he thinks.
Lex Luthor decides to be more vindictive. He buys the Daily Planet, which was recently struggling for money, and subsequently shuts it down, firing everyone but Lois, Jimmy, and two others, whom he transfers to his new company, LexCom. Luthor has no room for traditional journalism, however--the job at LexCom involves scouring the Internet for stories as they happen and posting them together on LexCom's website. Lois is miserable--but Luthor uses the elevator system in the LexCom building to keep her from going out and doing any real journalism.
The day they took the globe down from the Daily Planet, Lois discovered that her sister was pregnant and that Ron Troupe was the father (she was somewhat relieved it was not Jimmy Olsen).
Superman soon starts to act strange--believing that he is having prophetic dreams, he begins a frantic 24/7 patrol of Earth, trying to stay one step ahead of every disaster. Lois is shocked when he announces that he has to give up being Clark Kent and go to live at the Fortress. She refuses to go there with him, thinking that something is terribly wrong with her husband. She joins the Kents in trying to talk some sense into him, but they are as unsuccessful as the rest of the Justice League and the Superman family.As Superman continues to go farther in his obsession to keep the world safe, building an army of Super-Robots to help him patrol the earth, Lois writes a scathing article denouncing this change in his attitudes, citing that the last thing the world needs is a Superman Rex. As Superman and his army continue to go out of control, Lois decides to take matters into her own hands. With some help from STAR Labs, she ventures to the Fortress of Solitude, arriving and discovering that it has grown substantially and has incredible defenses. As the JLA and the U.N. battle Superman and his robots on the outside, Lois manages to get inside the Fortress. Tearfully, she confronts her husband on what he's become, and after kissing him, Superman seems to come out of a trance and realize the depth of his mistakes--he was being manipulated by Dominus all along! After a long hard fight, Superman manages to win the day, returning his life to normal at long last, much to Lois's joy.
However, Superman's reputation has been tarnished, with many people feeling they can either no longer trust him or that he is not the same old Superman. Lex Luthor offers to allow Lois to host an interview with Superman, giving him the opportunity to explain himself. Lois realizes, however, that Luthor had planned on releasing Metallo into Metropolis while Superman was doing the interview, making him look even worse for not being there to save the day, so Superman has to cancel the interview.[66]
Lois is shocked when Lana Lang and her then husband Pete Ross show up with an infant--not so much them having a baby, but the fact that they named the baby Clark Peter Ross! Clark had failed to mention that they named the baby after him, which obviously caused Lois discomfort. Even Pete told her he understood if it felt like they had taken a namesake away from Lois and Clark.
Lois was as annoyed as everyone else at the Daily Planet when Lex Luthor was elected President of the United States. To make matter worse, he named her father, Sam Lane, as his Secretary of Defense, further straining the relationship between father and daughter.
ois then got to work investigated who hired La Encantadora to poison her husband. The trail first led to Africa, and she took Jimmy Olsen along with her. She had to match wits with an assassin called the Scarlet Scythe, but luckily he was a pushover. Lois discovers that the man responsible for the hit is from Pokolistan, a small former Soviet sattelite state, but is attacked by Kancer befoe she can disclose this to Superman--but he learns it anyway. Before his investigation can begin, Superman has to rescue Lois from an alien pastiche of the Borg. After Superman decides to go to Pokolistan alone, Lois assmebles Supergirl, Superboy, and Kelex, wearing Steel's armor, to tail Superman there and back him up. The backup is needed to fight against Kancer and Ignition--especially when an armored "general" shows up and breaks Superman's jaw with a sucker punch. The super-team withdraws, and Superman admits to Lois that as soon as he saw the "general" he knew that he was responsible for his poisoning and for Kancer--and that Superman was afraid.
Lois also got an opportunity to talk with Wonder Woman in the form of a long interview that began with an around the world tour and that ended in a round of pool in Suicide Slum. Lois, having long had feelings of jealousy towards the Amazon Princess, took the opportunity to clear the air somewhat...she explained that it's difficult with Diana seeming so perfect and the whole world being convinced that Superman and Wonder Woman must be an item. Diana adamentally maintains that the two of them are and will always be just close friends.
During the Final Crisis, Lois and Perry are caught in an explosion triggered by Clayface destroying the Daily Planet and apparently Lois is seriously injured. In the third issue, it is revealed that only Clark's heat vision is keeping her heart beating. Clark is visited by a mysterious phantom who insists that he must depart Earth immediately if he is to save his wife's life. the female Monitor Zillo Valla stops time around Lois, allowing Superman to leave her side for a while, recruiting him and several of his multiversal doppelgangers in a mission to save the entire Multiverse, promising immediate care for Lois. After facing off against the dark Monitor Mandrakk, Superman brought back a distilled drop of The Bleed, and administered it through a kiss, restoring her to full health. Lois was later seen as one of the few still free humans. When Superman reveals his plan to use the Miracle Machine to reconstruct the multiverse as it was before Darkseid's ascension, Lois, Supergirl and Jimmy send a rocket through time as a time capsule, containing mementos of their Earth in case the Miracle Machine doesn't work. Later, Lois gives Superman a good luck kiss before he activates the Miracle Machine. Superman's plan works and the multiverse is saved.
After the events of the Superman: New Krypton Superman must leave Earth for a undetermined amount of time swearing off his Earthly connections in the eyes of his fellow Kryptonians to keep an eye on General Zod the New Kryptonian military commander but secretly tells Lois he still considers her his wife and will come back to her. In recent issues of Action Comics Lois has reunited with Christopher Kent who has aged to adulthood in the past months and became the new Metropolis hero Nightwing and spoke to his partner Thara Ak-Var the new Flamebird on the two's (possible romantic) relationship.
Lois heard that her sister Lucy Lane is killed during battle with Supergirl where Supergirl and Lana visit Lois's apartment to tell her the bad news. Lois doesn't believe that her sister is dead and refuses to accept the news until she has irrefutable proof. Supergirl is very apologetic, but Lois wants nothing to do with her right now. Before kicking her out, Lois asks Supergirl for a recovered piece of Superwoman's costume. Superman briefly returns to Earth to pursue a criminal from Krypton. Lois tells him about their son's return.
Lois hands her exposé in and the government are after her for treason. With agents on her tail, Lois makes a mad dash for it. When Lois is in custody and awakens, her father Sam Lane is there to greet her in an interview room in an unnamed facility. Although Lois is happy to see her father alive her love soon turns to anger when she realizes Lucy was fully aware of her actions and Kara was telling the truth. Sam tells Lois the only reason he's being this lenient with her is that she is his daughter. He threatens to make her disappear forever, never to see the light of day again, where not even Superman could save her, if she continues. He tells Lois, he does love her but the planet will always come first over his family. Lois returns to the Daily Planet under cover of night and explains all to Perry. Lois points out that the whole paper is at risk and everyone connected to it if her exposé runs. Perry understands and though he must protect the paper he is first and foremost a good journalist and nudges Lois in the right direction; he refuses to run the story but notes the story must get out to the people somehow. Enlightened, she quits the Daily Planet, as Lois gets her edge back. However, it was later revealed that Lois never really quit the Daily Planet.
In an effort to save his mother from the Reverse-Flash, Flash unknowingly changed reality, drastically altering the lives of many people, Lois included.
In this new world, Lois's life with her father was still the same, however, his father was member of Project Superman, a secret government project to create a supersoldier that could be used against America's enemies. Due to her father's involvement in the project, Lois did not spend too much time with him.
On his birthday, Lois sneaked into the project facility and entered her father's office to bring him a birthday cake. Suddenly, Kal-El entered Sam's office at the two saw each other for the first time. When they were about to grab each other's hands, Subject Zero enters the room. Zero, wanting revenge against General Lane for the experiments he endured, tries to kill Lois, but Kal defends her. In that moment, General Lane enters the room with a device that seals him and Zero in the Phantom Zone.
When she reached maturity, Lois became a reporter for the Daily Planet. At that time, the Amazons and the Atlanteans were waging war. She and her partner, Jimmy Olsen, are sent to Paris, France, to report a fashion show, when the Atlanteans flood Western Europe. Lois, along all the women present are saved by the Amazons, but Jimmy and the men are left to die.
Lois is taken to a concentration camp in New Themiscyra, formerly England. There, she recieves a transmission from Cyborg, America's greatest superhero, in Jimmy's camera. Cyborg reveals to Lois that Jimmy was an agent trying to make contact with the Resistance movement in England. Lois offers to continue Jimmy's duties, and Cyborg agrees.
During the course of 24 weeks, Lois reports to Cyborg that the Amazons declared martial law and recruited women to fight the Atlanteans, using technology to give the recruits Amazonian powers. Also, there is a high failure rate in the process, which transforms women into beasts that they use to train recruits with. In week 32, Lois is scheduled for procedure. She manages to escape with the help of Penny Black, a British Navy officer.
Lois escapes to the sewers and manages to make contact with the Resistance, led by Grifter. She shows the Resistance a recording made by Penny, in which she reveals Lois's status as Cyborg's agent to Grifter. As they walk across the sewers, Grifter tells Lois about his first meeting with Penny, revealing that she is in fact the superhero Britannia. Their mission in England is to help Penny recover her Britannia armor so that the tide of the war can turn. The Resistance gets to a secret room, where Penny is healing from she recieved when she was helping Lois escape. Penny uses Lois's camera and discovers that the armor is hidden under the Westminster Palace.
Using Zodiac boats, the Resistance gets to the Westminster Palace, but as soon as they get to a secret entrance to the palace, the Amazons ambush them. Bobbie Stephenson, also Resistance member Miss Hyde, reveals that she told the Amazons about the Resistance's plans because they offered her a cure to Miss Hyde. She threatens the Resistance to surrender, holding a knife against Lois' throat.
Fortunately, Miss Hyde regains control of Stephenson's body, allowing the Resistance to fight the Amazons evenly. While the Resistance defeats the Amazons, Lois takes Penny to an underground bunker, where the armor is located. Suddenly, Artemis attacks Lois while Penny puts the suit on. Just as Artemis is about to kill Lois, Penny, wearing the armor, kills Artemis by ripping her in half.
While Britannia goes to help the Resistance, Lois gets to a comm station in the bunker. She uses the transmitter to broadcast a message to the entire world, revealing the Amazons's war crimes and the Resistance's efforts to free England. Suddenly, a group of Amazons sneaks up behind Lois and tries to kill her.
However, Kal-El appears and saves her. Reuniting after several years, Kal-El tells Lois that he came to take her away so that she can be save. However, Lois refuses to leave, saying that she needs to stay so that the Amazon-Atlantean war can finally end. Suddenly, Subject Zero appears and tries to kill Lois, but Kal smashes him with a car.
As Kal and Zero fight, a group of Amazon appears to take control of the situation, but Zero quickly kills them. As the fight between resumes, Kal discovers that Zero's body is beginning to overload from the energy he absorbs from his dead opponents. Kal manages to destroy Zero in a massive explosion.
Unfortunately, Lois is caught in the blast, and Kal cradles her in his arms. Lois dies but not before begging Kal to use his powers to save the people. Kal, honoring her last request, becomes a Superman.
Fortunately, the Flash manages to change reality once again, restoring Lois back to life.

Sample Role Play Post
Lois Lane stood outside of the bank and looked down at her watch. She was running late for work and Perry most likely would have a few words for her. But she didn’t care she had a few errands to run this morning and she had slept in. She knew Clark wouldn’t be at work, he was off saving someone from something once again, so maybe it would be a good thing being late. If he came back at the right time they would both go to work together and let Perry deal with the pair of them. This caused a smile on her face and she threw away her empty coffee cup and entered the bank.
She really only had this one last stop, cashing her paycheck, and then it would be time to go into work. Sadly it was a sad news week, nothing was really going on in the world and so it was slow. She was forced to write a story about a dog that pulled a boy out of a building. A heartfelt story but something very boring compare to what she was use to writing.
This was about to change as she walked up to the counter and three men in mask entered the bank guns drawn. They ordered everyone to the ground, some people where not moving fast enough and they shot a round into the ceiling. Lois did as she was ordered, but pulled out a piece of paper and pen. Quickly she started to write down everything she was seeing. She watched as a man stepped up right to where she was setting and ordered the lady that had been helping Lois to empty her till. From her experiences of being in the bad place at the wrong time, she knew already this was not a good spot to be setting. She was after all the only one here and when the cops showed up, she would be a tool for them to use.
It was as if what she was thinking was telling the story. Cop cars started to pull up and police poured out of their cars. The man beside her panic and grabbed the first thing they could on Lois, which happen to be her hair, and pulled her to her feet and the gun went right to the side of her head. She struggled to get free, her paper and pen hitting the ground, but it was no point he was a little stronger then her and the gun was pointed at a vital part of her body. And so she was force to walk half dragged to the entrance of the bank and shown off to the cops, who didn’t lower weapons but didn’t do anything either.
A golden opportunity came when a red streak came flying across the window. Lois new it was Superman, and she was sure he would know that she was here. What an ear full she was going to get today and she hadn’t even looked for this story but oh well. When the man holding her was wondering what had just flown past he dropped the gun slightly, Lois taking the chance stomped on his foot and elbowed him in the gut. This caused him to scream in pain and pull back from her. She again took another chance to aim a good kick at his groin, which earn a shot from one of his friends in her directions. Lois stood there, and like you see in the movies, everything seemed to slow down as her life flashed in her eyes slightly. She could see the bullet coming at her but there was nothing she could do.
As if on cue Superman flew through the window and took the bullet for her, and before Lois could blink the three men were taken care of.
“I think for now on I’ll let my husband go to the bank.” Lois said as she went over to get her paper and looked up to give Superman a slight knowing smile.
