Lois Lane was a reporter at the Daily Planet, where she worked alongside Lex Luthor, who was attracted to her but who she had no interest in.
History
Lois was also a volunteer nurse at the hopital where comatose criminal Clark Lang was kept. Due to freak chance, her brainwaves were in exact attunement with Clark's due to the Chromo-Stimulant implanted in his head. This made her fall obsessively in love with Clark, and made her unable to disobey him.
After Clark was taken by the criminal scientist Dr Markem, Superman, who Lois disliked and considered an egotistical showoff, took Lois to his Fortress of Solitude, and revealed that Clark was the ruthless criminal offspring of notorious bank robbers, the Kents.
Lois insisted that she still loved Kent and angrily returned home, leaving Superman despondent. The next day, she and Lex witnessed Clark robbing a bank with Markem's Matter Digestor. Lois desperately tried to approach Clark, who simply turned the Digestor's energy weapons on her. Lois was saved by Lex, in his guise as Superman, but she still struggled to reach Kent until Superman knocked her unconscious.
Days later, Lex saved Lois from falling masonry by throwing a discarded frying pan at it while still in his civilian identity, rather than appearing as Superman, which Lois would have interpreted as grandstanding. Lois noticed finger indents left in the pan and deduced that Superman had saved her. The fact that he chose to do so without making a flashy display lead her to slightly reconsider her opinion of him.
After consulting the criminal mystic Grandovic, Clark learned that Superman was in love with Lois and therefore disguised as a hairbrush salesman, gave Lois a brush which coated her hair with an invisible chemical, allowing him to stun or kill her via remote control. With Kent holding Lois' life in his hands, Superman was forced to allow his former friend to run roughshod through Metropolis.
However, eventually XM-7, a malfunctioning Superman Robot, foiled one of Clark's robberies. Lex believed that Kent had killed Lois in retaliation, when in fact he had merely stunned and kidnapped her, having fallen for her. When awoken, Lois joyfully embraced Clark, much to her captor's surprise.
As Clark prepared for his next crime, Lois warned him that, since Superman believed she was dead and therefore had no reason to hold back, he would be in considerable danger, but Clark ignored her. When Clark was killed by his Chromo-Stimulant during a fight with a depowered Superman, his hold over Lois was broken, and she lost all feelings for him.
