Description

Lois Lane is Superman's girlfriend, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, and a mom. Though this character is as old as Superman himself, there's still a lot about her most people don't know. This is her story, one dazzling Daily Planet scoop at a time.

Lois Lane was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster right alongside Superman himself. Her characterization sprang from a number of places, including 1930s movies and Siegel's own wife. Back in 1988, the Superman writer shared that he wanted Lois to be a hard-nosed working girl, rather than a damsel to be saved by Superman. He based her partially on the character of Torchy Blane, a fictional journalist who searched for scoops in Depression-era double features. He told Time magazine,

"What inspired me in the creation was Glenda Farrell, the movie star who portrayed Torchy Blane, a gutsy, beautiful headline-hunting reporter, in a series of exciting motion pictures. Because the name of the actress Lola Lane appealed to me, I called my character Lois Lane. Strangely, the characterization of Lois is amazingly like the real-life personality of my lovely wife."

Siegel and his wife Joanne were actually brought together by Superman: She modeled for Shuster's original drawings of Lois Lane and went on to marry Siegel over a decade later.
