(W) Tim Hanley. In a universe full of superheroes* Lois Lane has fought for truth and justice for over 75 years on page and screen without a cape or tights. Lois Lane has been a paragon of journalistic integrity and the paramour of the world's strongest superhero. But her history is one of constant tension. From her earliest days* Lois yearned to make the front page of the Daily Planet* but was held back by her damsel-in-distress role and relegated her journalism to the background. Through it all* Lois remained a fearless and ambitious character* and today she is a beloved icon and an inspiration to many. Lois's journey showcases her ability to always escape the gendered limitations of each era and of the superhero genre as a whole.
