Appearance[]
Lois is a tan-skinned young woman of Korean descent with a slender-yet-athletic body frame, golden-brown eyes and pixie cut-styled dark brown hair.
Her attire consists of a set of small, round red earrings, and a cropped, white and yellow ringer tee under a baggy, olive-green coat with darker-colored trim, yellow drawstrings and some parts of the inside of the attached-hood colored yellow. She also wore dark navy-blue jeans and white sneakers with yellow soles.
Personality[]
Lois is a spirited tomboy with a fiery passion for the truth and an unapologetic disdain for liars. She's traded her formal professional demeanor for a bold and no-nonsense attitude that's unafraid to get her hands dirty to dig out the real story.
Lois, with her adventurous spirit, finds herself drawn to stories that unveil the secrets hidden in the shadows. Her relentless pursuit of truth is driven not only by a sense of justice but also by her personal vendetta against deception. Because she has an uncanny ability to sniff out falsehoods, she won't hesitate to call out anyone who tries to deceive her or the public.
Unfortunately, this pursuit tends to get her into trouble with Perry White and was one of the reasons she was still an intern. While her integrity and determination are noble, her reckless and impulsive tendencies tend to drag her and her friends into more trouble, especially when she never takes into consideration the severity of the situation. That, and she is not above lying to her friends to get a story, showing a selfish and hypocritical side to her ambitions.
Her approach to her work may be unconventional, but her sharp instincts and intuition more than make up for it. She relies on her gut feeling and street smarts as much as she does on formal sources. Her friends and allies know that she's fiercely loyal and won't hesitate to have their backs in tough situations.
In her pursuit of truth, Lois may be less focused on maintaining a polished image and more concerned with unveiling the gritty reality of the world. She's willing to take risks and get her hands dirty to uncover the facts that matter, regardless of how messy it may get. And when it comes to Superman, Lois's feelings are genuine and unfiltered. There's no room for pretense or false facades in their relationship. She appreciates his honesty and authenticity and, in return, reveals her true self without reservation.

Trivia[]
- In the comics, Lois Joanne Lane-Kent is a Pulitzer-prize winning investigative journalist at the Daily Planet, the lover of Clark Kent, alias Superman.
- This incarnation of Lois has traits carried over from previous iterations in media.
- She refers to Clark affectionately or teasingly as “Smallville”, a quirk popularized by Dana Delaney’s portrayal of Lois in Superman: TAS.
- In Episode 4, she was shown to have a little trouble spelling words as shown on written interview note flash cards she gave Clark, a character flaw that was cemented by Margo Kidder’s portrayal in the 1978 Richard Donner movie.
- The infamous scene where she forces Clark Kent to reveal his identity by throwing herself off a building, despite contention from younger generations of viewers, is actually consistent with the Lois Lane character. The Lois Lane of the Silver Age comics would often recklessly put herself in danger deliberately to expose Superman and this trait was carried over to the Margo Kidder version as she would also throw herself off a building and even Niagara Falls just to try and prove that Clark Kent was Superman.
- This Lois Lane is the first incarnation to be of mixed heritage, being Korean-American.
Behind the Scenes[]
- It has been remarked on social media that My Adventures with Superman iteration of Lois Lane resembles the character Luz Noceda from the Disney animated series The Owl House and at least hairstyle-wise, Catra in her 5th Season appearance from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.
- Another character who similar to this version of Lois Lane design-wise is Voltron: Legendary Defender iteration of Lance. Both My Adventures With Superman and that show are animated by Studio Mir.
- According to Jake Wyatt on Twitter, Lois’s character design was influenced by Meryl Stryfe from the 1995 anime Trigun.[2]
