Lori's family were members of a community of mer-people who had been separated from the Atlantian City of Tritonis. She had began studying at the University of Metropolis in order to try and learn the location of Tritonis from numerous surface legends. While there she met and fell in love with Clark Kent and the two began a romance that was the talk of the town. However when Clark proposed marriage she realized that a relationship between a surface dweller and an Atlantian could never work so she returned to the seas.

Later Clark (as Superman) would learn the location of Atlantis from Aquaman and was able to return Lori to her rightful home. She tried to make a life for herself there and married a Atlantian. He was seduced by magical powers and died but not before using a spell to turn her mermaid's tail into legs while she was dry. This has allowed her to visit Clark in Metropolis and she even tried to resume her relationship with him when his engagement to Lois was temporally called off. She is doing archaeological work in the Americas.
