Lois Lane was a reporter at the Daily Planet with her fiancé, Clark Kent. This version of Lois Lane was the same version as the one leading up to the events of the Death of Superman. After the death of Superman, Lois wanted revenge on the world that let Superman die.[1]
History
Lois was a reporter for the Daily Planet and the lover of Clark Kent, the superhero known as Superman who was killed while stopping Doomsday. She blamed the Justice League who only arrived after his death, being disgusted at them being front-and-center at his funeral while she couldn't even get a glimpse and his parents were forced to stay at home. During her grief, she noted how the world had grown more chaotic and had wasted his gift.
While paying respects to Clark's Kryptonian parents, she meets the Eradicator, who needs a vessel to contain his Kryptonian powers. Lois volunteered and the two merged together, turning Lois into a Kryptoninan. She takes up the emblem of the House of El and continues Superman's work.[1]
After a while she saw that there were better ways of making the world a better place, questioning why Clark never did more. She began to go to extreme measures, such as free prisoners, penalize the corrupt, and destroy military weapons. After learning that Lex Luthor manufactured and stored nuclear weapons that were causing radiation poison to the innocent, she confronted him. He gloated about his crimes which she couldn't prove, but in response she killed him.[1]
She later hunted known criminals and murderers, believing it to be the best option. After killing The Joker, she was was confronted by Batman who told her she had crossed a line, though she responded his way never worked. He tried to stop her using Kryptonite and electric shock after she punched him, due to his retort that she had let Clark die in vain. Batman however was unsuccessful and she killed him when he stated he won't stop.[1]
She began to believe that Clark didn't want to accept the world didn't want to be saved. Later, she attacked the Cyborg Superman for taking the Superman name. While fighting him, Superman returns but realizes people are afraid of her. As Cyborg Superman gets ready to pump Kryptonite gas, she rushes off to stop him but accidentally breaks the pump which causes Green Kryptonite to spread in the air. Superman dies in her arms, horrified by what she has become. She continues to patrol her Earth as the "savior" she believes they need.[1]
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Lois possesses the same potential powers as an average Kryptonian. These include:
- Solar Energy Absorption: Under optimal conditions, this is the main source of Lois's super powers as they are contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system. Her biological make up includes a number of organs which lack analogues in humans and whose functions are unknown. It is believed that between one or more of these and her bio-cellular matrix, "yellow" solar energy is stored for later use. This allows for the use of these powers to fade when yellow solar radiation is not available instead of immediate failure.
- Heat Vision: Lois can, as a conscious act, fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. She can vary the heat and area affected.
- Super-Hearing: Lois's hearing is sensitive enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill and concentration, she can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency.
- Enhanced Vision: Lois's vision processes the entire electromagnetic spectrum as well as allowing vast control over selective perception and focus.
This umbrella ability includes the following:- Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision: Lois can see well into most of the electromagnetic spectrum. She can see and identify radio and television signals as well as all other broadcast or transmitted frequencies. Using this ability, she can avoid detection by radar or satellite monitoring methods. This also allows her to see the aura generated by living thing.
- Telescopic Vision: This is the ability to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. Though limited, the exact extent of the ability is undetermined. In function, it is similar to the zoom lens on a camera.
- X-Ray Vision: This is the ability to see through any volume of matter except lead. Loiss can see things behind a solid, opaque object as if it were not there. She can focus this ability to "peel back" layers of an object, allowing hidden image or inner workings to be observed. The exact type of energy perceived—such as x-rays, cosmic rays, or some other energy invisible to normal humans—is unclear. This ability perceives an ambient energy source though, it does not involve the eye projecting a concentrated, possibly toxic, beam to be reflected back from objects.
- Microscopic Vision: This is the ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level.
- Infrared Vision: Lois can see with better acuity in darkness, and to a degree in total darkness.
- Flight: Lois is able to manipulate graviton particles to defy the forces of gravity and achieve flight. This ranges from hovering to moving in any posture, in any direction.
- Invulnerability: Due to the interaction of her dense molecular structure and supercharged bio-electric aura, Lois is nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, her extends this protection against toxins and diseases.
- Superhuman Stamina: Lois is able to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an indefinite period of time. This based on her body converting yellow solar radiation directly to energy but is limited by physiological and psychological needs to eat, drink, and sleep.
- Superhuman Strength: Lois's strength is augmented by yellow solar radiation interacting with the greater than human density, resilience and biological efficiency of her musculature. Her strength is more an act of conscious will on energy fields than actual physical strength. It is this act of conscious will that enables her to perform physical feats that are beyond the mere application force, such as moving a mountain top without said rock crumbling under its own mass.
- Superhuman Speed: Lois is able to move at incredible speed by sheer force of will. This extends to her perceptions and allows for feats such as catching bullets in mid-flight as well as covering vast distances in little or no time.
This also confers: - Super-Breath: Lois is able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from her lungs. She can chill the air as it leaves her lungs to freeze targets. She can also reverse the process to pull large volumes of air or vapor into her lungs.
- Longevity: Lois can live longer than regular humans, remaining at her prime as long as she was under the exposure of the "yellow" sun.

- Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Lois possesses the same potential weaknesses as an average Kryptonian. These include:
Other Characteristics
- Irrational Hatred: The death of Superman made Lois very enraged as she blamed the world for not being there to help him.
Notes
- Lois Lane was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, first appearing in Action Comics #1. However, the Dark Multiverse: Death of Superman version of Lois Lane first appeared in Tales from the Dark Multiverse: The Death of Superman #1 by Brad Walker and Jeff Loveness.
- She is based on the fear of Lois Lane taking Superman's death too seriously and blaming the world for not being there to help him.
