Steven Lombard (Earth-One)

Steve Lombard is a DC Comics character who has existed in both Pre and Post-Crisis continuity. In Pre-Crisis continuity, Steve was a former NFL athelete turned sportscaster for the Galaxy Broadcasting System and often worked alongside famed news anchors, Clark Kent and Lana Lang. A happy-go-lucky individual, Steve often referred to Clark Kent by the unflattering nickname "Clarkie", and took great pleasure in taking advantage of Clark's presumed clumsiness. Occasionally, Clark would avenge himself against Steve's pranks with a well-placed blast of heat-vision. The character of Steve Lombard was re-envisioned for the modern Post-Crisis environment, where he works for the Daily Planet rather than Galaxy Communications. Steve has made infrequent appearances in modern continuity.
