Lois Lane was an arm brat born in West Germany and toured much of the world with her father until the family settled outside of Metropolis. She impressed the Managing Editor of the Daily Planet, Perry White, by obtaining inside information on Lex Luthor and he gave her a part-time job. Upon graduation she started full time on the Planet and worked her way up to become the number one female journalist in Metropolis. Due to her standing she was selected to be a civilian observer aboard the Constitution when it landed at the 250th anniversary celebrations of the founding of Metropolis. The plane was hit by a light aircraft and was only saved by the intervention of a pre-Superman Clark Kent. This was the first time that the two met and an instant spark passed between them.

Lois reported the story and spent the following days and weeks trying to get the low down on the new visitor, even going to the extend of deliberately driving her car into the river in order to attract his attention. When she finally delivered the interview of the decade with Superman to Perry White he revealed that she had been scooped by new reporter Clark Kent. Lois would keep up a campaign of baiting Clark over his scooping her for years to come. Her attitude towards Kent would eventually soften to the point were they started dating and eventually got engaged. She never suspected that Kent and Superman were one and the same person but Clark revealed the secret to her during their engagement. Initially shocked she eventually realised that she had known all along but her mind would keep dismissing the notion.

After a rocky patch when Lois questioned what it would be like married to a person that would outlive her by generations they were married and honeymooned in the Hawaiian islands. Since then Lois has stood by Clark/Superman when he lost his powers, was changed into an energy being and even split into two. When the supervillain Dominus began controlling Superman it was Lois that helped break the control.
