History: Lois Lane was a reporter for the Daily Planet who started chronicling the career of Superman and became infatuated with him.

(Action Comics I #226) - Metropolis archaeologists discovered the Petrified Spaceman, an ancient alien that had gone into torpor and was being displayed by sideshow exhibitor Barnum Bolton. The Spaceman awoke, and went on a rampage, stealing glass throughout the city. Perry sent Lois and Clark to cover the story, and when the Spaceman took Clark's glasses and Lois' glass crystal wristwatch without harming them, they knew he didn't mean to hurt anyone. Clark changed into Superman, and realized the confused alien was after ice, not glass, so he brought blocks of ice to cool him down, restoring his mind. The Spaceman was grateful, telling Superman he was an astronaut from Ice World, and the heat of Earth had left him in a daze as he desperately tried to cool himself. Superman returned him to his home world by constructing a spacecraft out of ice and hurling it into space, guided to Ice World by his telescopic vision.

(Action Comics I #227) - Superman went to the dedication of a statue of General Van Sturtant, but his x-ray vision had gone out of control, and he burned a hole through the statue and burned up a condemned building before managing to shut his eyes. While blind he dug into the Earth and retrieved a quantity of lead, which his x-ray vision couldn't penetrate, and fashioned a pair of glasses so his vision would be contained, although he still couldn't see through the eyewear. Perry wanted Clark to cover the story of Superman's out of control powers, and Lois tried to prove he was Superman by having him read one of her columns to her. He took off his glasses at superspeed and used a lead mirror to read and memorize the article to foil her. Scientists eventually found that a malfunctioning x-ray machine boosted Superman's vision, and he was able to discharge the excess radiation and cure himself by using his x-ray vision to blow a hole in an uninhabited planet.

(Action Comics I #228) - Poisonous smog hit Metropolis hard, and Superman constructed a giant fan to drive it away from the city. Lois covered the story, and Superman said he'd decided to commemorate his career by building a Superman Museum. Digging up iron ore and a coal-seam he created his construction materials, and assembled the skyscraper that would house his museum by hand. Perry sent Lois and Jimmy to cover the museum opening, even though he thought Superman was getting full of himself even though Lois defended him. Superman gave the inaugural tour of the museum, recounting lost adventures of his past, including stopping Lex Luthor with a parabolic reflector and halting the rampage of mechanical mythological creatures that ran amok in Metropolis. Racketeer Jay Emery was hoping the museum would house dangerous weapons and technology, and when Superman told Lois the center of the building was a gigantic air shaft he presumed that it held the devices too dangerous to be on display. Lois was also determined to get a look at the secret shaft, and when she saw mementos being delivered to the museum she spotted a lead chest and hopped inside, only to be met by Emery, who was using the chest to sneak inside the museum himself. Superman was already in the shaft, which the Superman Museum was simply a cover for. Poisonous gas from the earth was leaking, and had caused the recent smog. He didn't want to cause a panic, so he'd built the museum as a cover. After venting the gas he saved Lois from Emery and revealed that he'd constructed the museum as modular units, and took it apart to create housing for Metropolis' underprivileged population.

(Action Comics I #229) - Superman went into space to smash an asteroid on a collision course with Earth, and astronomers witnessed his display and reported the news. Dr. John Haley went to the Daily Planet and warned Perry and Lois that the asteroid was composed of a poisonous element, and if Superman returned to Earth he'd risk destroying the human race. Perry flashed the warning to Superman on the Planet's electric news sign, and Superman resigned himself to being an exile. He refused to stop helping people, and orbited the planet looking for people needing his help. He saw a ship about to collide with an iceberg, so he turned an iron meteor into a mile-long lasso, and pulled the iceberg away, depositing it in a drought-stricken area of the Midwest to provide much needed water as it melted. Using moon rocks he scared off elephants stampeding towards a village in Asia and stopped a flood in Switzerland. Lois was heartbroken, but Perry worried that with Superman gone crooks would be planning a big heist. Lois started investigating, and a gang of criminals kidnapped her. They'd already kidnapped Haley; the man claiming that Superman could never return to Earth was one of their own in disguise. Their hq was lead-lined, so Superman couldn't see what they were up to from space, but he made a gigantic periscope from another iron meteor and uncovered their chicanery, saving Lois and Hale and rounding them up when he returned to his adopted planet.

(Action Comics I #230) - an undersea quake loosened a portion of Atlantis from the sea floor, and when Superman tried to push it back to the bottom he found his strength increased a hundred fold, and the effort caused a massive earthquake. Strange experiments in Atlantis imbued the land with the ability to grant superpowers to anyone who touched it. Superman dared not use his enhanced powers, and when he was called on to finish a Metropolis hospital he took the elevator up, pounded nails with a hammer instead of his fists, and when a gust of wind blew him off the building he used a parachute to land safely. Lois and other onlookers were convinced he'd lost his powers, and Lois followed him to confirm her hunch. He had to deal with seaman Bart Wellins, who'd gained superpowers from finding the Atlantis fragment, but eventually his power level returned to normal.

(Action Comics I #231) - Clark accompanied Jimmy when he was summoned to the office of Prof. Z. Peabody, chief of Metropolis Archives. Peabody was researching the Kingdom of Vumania, and learned that Jimmy was a descendant of their last king, who'd died centuries ago. According to the kingdom's charter Jimmy could claim the throne if he slew a dragon, broke a wizard's spell, and saved a fair maiden while dressed as a knight. Peabody realized the tasks would be ceremonial, but he'd still have to carry them out, and suggested Superman as a reliable witness. Superman flew to Vumania, which had been reduced to a small uninhabited island after a flood, and felt bad that he'd have to break the bad news to Jimmy, who was dreaming of pomp and circumstance. Superman returned to Metropolis and witnessed a car striking Jimmy, who was mostly unharmed thanks to his rented armor, and he overheard the driver and accomplice saying they'd stop at nothing to keep him from the throne. Superman decided to play along with Jimmy's deeds to find out why the thugs were interested in a worthless island. Perry had Lois cover the story, and act as the fair maiden in need of rescuing, while Superman prevented the criminals from interfering. Jimmy won the crown, and Superman discovered that Vumania housed the underground base of the Sea Gang, and quickly rounded them up.

(Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #1) - Lois disguised herself as famous French actress Lois LaFlamme, who was visiting Metropolis, to get an interview with the Rutavian ambassador, who normally avoided the press. She charmed the ambassador at a party, but Superman was present performing parlor tricks in gratitude for the ambassador's charity work, and decided to teach Lois a lesson about using underhanded tricks to get a story. He had Jimmy Olsen pose as LaFlamme's suitor Count Armand, and he challenged Superman to a duel after Lois made it clear how much she loved Superman. Lois tried to stop it, bbut could only watch on as "Armand" shot Superman, and the bullet bounced back, hitting the Count.

(Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #1) - Lois overheard Daily Planet advice columnist Mr. Romance tell a woman that the way to a man's heart was through his stomach, so she decided to win Superman over with her cooking. She became chef at Dick's Diner when Dick Morgan had to close it down to recover from surgery, and sold the idea to Perry White as a human interest piece. She renamed everything on the menu 'Super' and convinced Superman to make an appearance to help out Dick Morgan, but every time Superman sat down to eat he was called away for an emergency, or in the course of stopping long-distance disasters he ruined her cooking. She kept the Diner in business, and just before Dick Morgan returned Superman had a bowl of alphabet soup and spelled out 'I Love You' with the pasta.

(Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #1) -Lois covered the opening of the Museum of Superstition, and broke a mirror in front of a portrait of the witch Mad Molly. The curator told her she'd turn into a witch for seven years because of what she'd done, but she blew him off. She then visited famous biologist Professor Jason, and accidentally inhaled an old age potion. Every night she turned into a withered hag, and believed it was because of mad Molly's curse. Superman recognized her on the street, and retraced her steps, realizing that she thought she was a with and that the real culprit was Jason's solution. He didn't want to jar her senses, so he used his superpowers to make Lois think she had spellcasting abilities, which she used to get news stories. She was going to use her 'powers' to uncover Superman's identity, but realized she could never use an unfair advantage on her love. Superman finally revealed the truth to her as the aging serum wore off.

(Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #2) - Superman flew Lois to her old college, where she met Polly Smith, who was crying because no sorority would accept her because she never had a date. Lois had a plan to make her popular, having Superman poise as her boyfriend, and he agreed because Polly had always contributed to his favorite charities. The sorority sisters were jealous, but skeptical, so Superman carved a portrait of Polly in the mountainside and created a space satellite he named after her. Finally he took her to a dance and proposed, but she 'jilted' him. Sorority sister Vera Stevens lived next door to Polly, and had overheard and taped Superman talking about the ruse. As she was about to play the record for her sisters Superman burned off the dialogue with his heat vision and used super ventriloquism to make it seem like Vera was talking badly about her sisters.

(Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #2) - Mammoth Studios began filming "The Life of Superman" in Metropolis, and Superman agreed to play himself because half the earnings would go to charity. The staff of the Daily Planet were offered bit parts, and all of them passed a screen test except Lois Lane, who got nervous. Director Daryl Zorne made her a prop girl, and had her part played by lookalike Gilda Glamarr, and Lois seethed with jealousy. A number of near-fatal accidents plagued the set, and it seemed as though Lois was behind them, so Zorne told her to leave the set and Superman told her he never wanted to see her again.

(Action Comics I #254, 255) - Lex Luthor visited Smallville and came across an old newspaper story about Professor Dalton, who used a duplicator ray to create the Bizarro Superboy. Luthor stole Dalton’s plans for the duplicator ray to build his own, and showed off the ray to his lab assistant Vekko, bragging that he’d use it to destroy superman. Luthor posed as “Professor Clyde” and phoned up Perry White, telling him he’d come up with an antidote for kryptonite. Superman visited his lab, and “Clyde” had him stand in front of the duplicator way under the pretense of making him immune to kryptonite. The duplicator ray created Bizarro, an imperfect duplicate of superman with stony skin and a backwards mind. Luthor took off his disguise and ordered Bizarro to destroy Superman, but Bizarro realized he was a monstrosity, and was furious at Luthor for creating him. He grabbed Luthor and Vekko to take them to jail, and admitted to Superman that he didn’t know the difference between right and wrong and didn’t belong in the world. Superman decided he’d have to be destroyed, reasoning that it was morally correct because Bizarro was lifeless matter in human form, but first had to deal with a massive tidal wave causing havoc at sea. Bizarro turned over Luther and Vekko to the police, who were horrified by Bizarro. He tried to prove he was a hero by saving a plane from crashing, but the passengers ran away form him in fear when they were on the ground, and the distraught Bizarro decided to leave Metropolis. The army dropped bombs on Bizarro, but he was unharmed and told them he’d save them the trouble of destroying him by committing suicide. Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane were following Bizarro in the Daily Planet news helicopter, and Lois snapped some pictures of Bizarro flying full speed into a mountainside. Bizarro was unharmed and upset at still being alive until he overheard Lois fawning over her shots of him, and misunderstood what she was saying, thinking she’d fallen in love with him. Bizarro built a ramshackle house on a remote island, declared it a palace, and flew Lois Lane there, saying it was a house they could live in after they got married. Lois told him the only man she loved was superman, and Bizarro reasoned that if he was handsome like superman Lois would marry him. Bizarro stole the duplicator ray from police headquarters, and used it on himself, creating New Bizarro, who still had an imperfect mind like him, but was handsome like New Bizarro proposed to Lois, who failed to notice his backward speech, and she embraced and kissed him. Superman caught up with the Bizarros, and Bizarro said he didn’t want superman interfering in his plan, and presented him with a giant boulder of green kryptonite he’d found on the island. Lois realized something was wrong after listening to New Bizarro talk more, and he admitted he was a Bizarro, but bragged about how attractive he was and said Lois would be lucky to be hitched to him. Lois didn’t appreciate how conceited New Bizarro was, and said she even preferred the original Bizarro over him, causing New Bizarro to start mocking his creator for being so ugly. The infuriated Bizarro attacked New Bizarro, and their battle led to a naval testing ground, where they started hurling torpedoes at each other. Bizarro returned to the island and smashed the kryptonite boulder into dust, asking Superman to help him defeat New Bizarro. The kryptonite dust was carried away by the wind, and New Bizarro inhaled it. Unlike Bizarro he had the same vulnerability to kryptonite that Superman had, and he disintegrated. Superman flew Lois back to Metropolis and Bizarro flew to Pluto, plucking a giant rainbow flower to give to Lois, hoping gifts could win her over. When he presented his gift the flower started shooting out seeds, wrecking Lois apartment, and she told Bizarro she never wanted to see him again. Bizarro, having dim memories of Superman’s life, decided to dress up like Clark Kent, hoping no one at the Daily Planet could tell the difference so he could still be near Lois. He went to the Daily Planet, and Superman used his heat vision to burn off his civilian clothes, fearing Bizarro would give away his secret identity. Bizarro decided that if he couldn’t marry Lois than no one could. Bizarro flew her back to his island said he’d fight Superman, and if she changed her mind about marrying him she could wave a white flag. Bizarro and Superman fought on the Sargasso Reef, firing cannon balls at each other until Lois waved the white flag. Superman saw who he thought was Lois embrace Bizarro and got choked up saying that he intended to marry her one day. This “Lois” was actually a Bizarro Lois Lane that Lois created by turning the duplicator ray on herself so Bizarro would have a companion. Bizarro and Bizarro Lois agreed that there was no place for them on Earth so Bizarro flew her into space, saying they’d find a world to live on in another solar system. Lois asked Superman if he meant what he said about marring her, and he replied that he meant he might consider it in the future, but not right now.

(Superman I #169) - Bizarro #1 brought a legion of Bizarro Supermen to Earth, telling Superman they were going to prove how much they liked him by destroying the planet, but proceeded to run away when they spotted a sparrow because it was not able to harm them. Superman decided the Bizarros backward thinking didn’t make them a threat to consider seriously, and figured they might provide some laughs for him while they were on Earth. The Bizarros spotted superman fix the support structures of a bridge so they decided to show him they could fix things worse than he could. The Bizarros put arms on the Venus de Milo, sealed the crack in the Liberty Bell, and straightened the Leaning Tower of Pisa. They spotted Superman yelling at a boy for being a litterbug, so they grabbed up garbage dump trucks and flew them around Metropolis, scattering waste. Perry White told Lois and Clark to get the Daily Planet payroll, and on their way back they were ambushed by armed criminals, and Clark couldn’t leap into action, fearing revealing his identity in front of Lois.

(Action Comics I #379) - Clark Kent covered the funeral of noted occultist Dr. Phantas. Phantas’ lawyer Mark Sharpe showed Clark around Phantas’ mansion, and said no one knew where Phantas came from or how he came by his supernatural powers, and Clark thought the lawyer’s stories were poppycock. At the funeral a tape and projection of Phantas was played, saying he forbade anyone to open his coffin, lest they bring a horrible curse on themselves. Sharpe needed to open the coffin to find out who Phantas’ heirs were, so Clark said he’d get his friend Superman to do it, and changed outside. Superman opened the casket, only for Phantas to rise up and tell him Clark Kent and all his friends would pay dearly for activating his curse before vanishing. Superman was convinced there had to be a logical explanation, but when his story ran Perry White played up the curse angle. That afternoon Lois alerted Clark that his friend Ed Carver had died under mysterious circumstances, and Jimmy Olsen was convinced it was the curse, but Lois chalked it up to coincidence. Reporter Steve Fallon, who Clark knew, died when a liquid oxygen truck turned over on the highway and the liquid froze him to death. Lois now agreed with Jimmy that something was off, and Perry sent Clark home for the sake of staff morale. Three more of Clark’s reporter friends died and Clark found himself ostracized from the Metropolis press club. Clark was set to appear on Greet The Press, but the show was cancelled when his friend Ned Masters was electrocuted by his microphone. Clark realized that all the reporters to die had been with him on a recent plane flight from Washington, and disguised himself as Mark Durbin, the last reporter besides himself from the flight that was still alive, and hid with Mark win a bank vault. A ghostly Phantas, calling himself the Eliminator passed through the vault’s walls and when “Mark” asked him why he was trying to kill him Phantas thought he was feigning ignorance. Phantas recounted how the reporters were all actually renegade murderers from Rhadmath fleeing justice. They’d used Rhadmanthian transverter technology to assume the forms and memories of the reporters aboard the plane from Washington, teleporting them into their spaceship and taking their place. They could not target Clark because of his Kryptonian physiology. Phantas was the Eliminator of Rhadmath, taked with executing the criminals, and traveled to Earth to pursue them, setting up the ruse of an occultist and his curse on Clark Kent to keep secret the involvement of Rhadmanthians on Earth. Phantas struck “Mark” with a bolt of energy, disintegrating his disguise, but the beam ricocheted and killed the real Durbin. Phantas freed the real reporters from the Rhadmanthians spaceship, and told Superman not to judge him, because as Eliminator he was tasked with enforcing the law of his homeworld.

(Action Comics I #380, 381) - The Superman Revenge Squad sent the Liquidators, Dorx and Krit, to Earth with a detailed plan to destroy Superman’s reputation. Superman returned from a mission in space, and the Liquidators surreptitiously exposed him to artificial red kryptonite that gave him a conscience syndrome that would make him prone to feeling guilty for things he had not done. The Liquidators destroyed the Iwo Jima memorial and replaced it with a Superman statue, and Krit, wearing robotic armor, smashed into the Metropolis Mint, melted a number of coins and engraved Superman’s likeness on others. The authorities were convinced that some evil doer was trying to frame Superman and ruin his reputation, but Superman’s conscience syndrome made him wonder if he was having blackouts and committing crimes. Superman suspected that if he was responsible his behavior could be explained by exposure to red kryptonite, and went to the Fortress of Solitude to use his newly created red k detector. Dorx, disguised as Supergirl, met him there, and offered to help him use the detector. Superman stepped inside the detector, which ran an electrical current over him that would turn him red if he’d been exposed to red k, and although the test revealed his exposure Dorx lied to him, saying he hadn’t changed color. Dorx suggested he chain himself up before going to sleep, and if he broke the chains in his sleep he’d know he was committing crimes after falling unconscious. She also poured chemicals on the chains that would shatter them before Superman woke, and after rejoining Krit they destroyed Mt. Rushmore, then carving Superman’s image into the mountain. Superman was convinced that he was guilty, and had a criminal superego that was surfacing. He went to the Daily Planet, typed out a number of stories in which he confessed to the Liquidator’s crimes, and gave his confession to Perry, Lois and Jimmy, who told him they believed he was innocent. Superman returned to the Fortress and retrieved his box containing gold kryptonite, which would forever remove his super powers, deciding that was preferable to abusing his great power to cause harm. News stories popped up on Superman’s satellite television screens, and he noticed how fuzzy the picture was. Examining the Telstar satellite that relayed television to the Fortress he realized someone had placed artificial red k inside it. Superman came up with a plan to catch the perpetrators and put back the gold k before smashing the door to the Fortress and flying to the U.N. ready to stand trial for his crimes. The Liquidators watched him on their remote viewscreen do everything in his power to make the evidence against him fit. Noticing the Fortress was accessible they went inside to raid it and started bragging about how they’d framed Superman. Superman had the Fortress bugged, and their confession was broadcast to the U.N., clearing Superman’s name. The Liquidators, realizing they were exposed, fled in their spaceship. Superman allowed them to escape, knowing the penalty for failing a Revenge Squad mission was to be put into lifelong slavery by the Squad.

(Action Comics I #382) - Clark Kent wrote an obituary for his friend Mr. Presto, a world famous magician who’d left his chest of magic tricks to Clark. Clark noticed the balloons Lois was going to bring to the children’s hospital were floating against the ceiling, and flew up to retrieve them, knowing no one would see him. He returned them to Lois, who was suspicious as to how he got them down, once again accusing him of being Superman. He said he’d used Presto’s magic wand, and when Lois demanded to see another trick Clark wove the wand, and woke a sleeping Perry ?White, who was lifted off his office couch. Clark had actually used his x-ray vision to create a negative magnetism in the couch springs, which repelled Perry, who had a metal cigar case in his coat. Perry was infuriated, and fired Clark. Clark told Lois he was inspired to take Presto’s tricks and start a career as a stage magician. She thought it was a foolish career change, but wished him luck anyway.

Kento hired Jimmy as his magician’s assistant, portraying Samson, the Might a “magic puppet” who could perform feats of strength. Criminal Rogan and his gang stole Samson, hoping to use the puppet to dig the sky-gem, a carbonized satellite that passed through a comet and turned into a giant diamond, out of the mountain it crashed into. After realizing Samson was Jimmy Olsen in a costume, returned to find Kento and learn his secrets. Kento was aware of Rogan because of his x-ray vision, and constructed a Superman puppet, using ventriloquism to make it appear alive. Rogan hit Kento with a blackjack, and Kento pretended to be knocked out, but when they drove off with the Superman puppet he disguised himself as the puppet and used his superspeed to take its’ place without the crooks noticing. After retrieving the sky-gem he dropped the act and arrested the criminals. When Perry learned that Superman had given Clark and Jimmy the exclusive rights to the sky-gem story he hired them both back, but Clark mused that he might one day take up stage magic again.
