The
Man of Steel 2: The Story of the Century
Lois Lane and her boss, Perry White, saw this
Superman flying nearby while having lunch. Lois gave
chase (and brushed off a meeting with Lex Luthor), but
was unable to get a better glimpse. Superman's appearances
became more and more frequent in the coming days, and
Lois Lane continued to be one step behind him. In order
to get an interview with him, she drove her car off
a pier and had him rescue her. She got an interview,
but was scooped by the Daily Planet's newest employee,
Clark Kent.
Superman
Annual #1: Tears for Titano
Lois Lane visited a scientist who was performing experiments
on an ape. She scolded him, but he told her they were
perfectly legit and the ape was not being harmed. It
escaped and latched on to Lois, who appeared to be the
only one who wasn't trying to hurt him. They finally
got Titano under control, and Lois was escorted out
by Amanda Waller.
Nearby, Superman spotted a tank attacking a bank. He
stopped it, but the battle knocked out some power. He
flew into a building where he saw trouble and found
the scientists still experimenting on Titano. He rescued
the guards, but Titano got free and attacked Dr. Moyers.
He noticed the ape had grown. Superman struggled with
it, and they fell together to the street below. The
ape grew again. Lois heard a dispatch on the situation
and headed that way.
Superman continued to battle Titano and was able to
convince the armed forces to let him handle the ape.
Lois arrived, and as soon as it recognized her, he calmed
down. Moyers ordered an attack; Titano was blasted.
The ray shrunk him down to normal size, and he died
in Lois's arms.
Superman
#9: Metropolis - 900 Mi
Lex Luthor visited a diner he owned outside Metropolis.
He offered his waitress $1million if she'd come back
to the city with him for a month. She refused - she
was married. He told her he'd wait in his car for 10
minutes while she decided.
The girl talked it over with her co-workers and called
her husband. When she looked out the window, Luthor's
car was gone. He laughed with his driver about the games
he played.
Superman
#11: The Name Game
Lois went out with a man she'd never met. She was so
captivated by him that she failed to see the strange
occurrences that were going on around them. He asked
her to marry him. He saw someone more attractive - a
mannequin. The display came alive, and he replaced it
with Lois.
Superman caught up with the man Lois had gone out with
- he claimed responsibility for the strange things,
then turned into a small impish man with a funny hat.
He claimed to be from a parallel fifth dimension. He
said he'd go back home if Superman could get him to
use his name (Mr. Mxyzptlk) backwards. Superman rewired
a giant typewriter and got him to type it backwards.
Lois, feeling bad about putting Clark off for the fake
man, went to his apartment to make him dinner. Cat had
beaten her to him.
Action
#600: Lois Lane
Lois single-handedly took down a big time fugitive and
two of his goons, but her story didn't get the front
page: the romance between Superman and Wonder Woman
did. Lois, dejected, headed home. Clark stopped by to
visit her later. While she showered, he headed off -
he heard Jimmy's signal ring.
AoS
#445: Headhunter
Jimmy Olsen began a story on the disappearance of homeless
people when one of his friends went missing. He bumped
into Cat on his way out - she was on her way in. Perry
asked her to get some help with her drinking.
Jimmy got a lead from the cops - they'd found the bodies
of several other homeless people. It appeared a serial
killer was on the loose.
Jerry and Jose talked about Lois. Jose thought his date
with her was out of pity. While she was on her way up,
Delgado received a call that someone wanted to experiment
on him with microchips.
Brainiac, as the killer was calling himself (one personality
of a MPD sufferer) attacked a homeless man outside a
bar where Cat had been. Jimmy, who was to have met her
there earlier, saw the killer grab her. He activated
his signal watch and Superman headed their direction.
Brainiac / Vril Dox attacked Superman and began to get
into his mind. Superman defeated Dox; Jimmy and Cat
got free.

#462: Homeless for the Holidays
Superman helped some construction workers finish up
a job after one of their machines broke down. He then
got out of costume and headed to the Planet for his
last day of work. The crew threw him a surprise party.
Afterwards, Clark found Alice in a storage closet. She
opened up to him that she was living there. She told
him, Perry, Lois, and Jimmy that she'd been living there
for three years trying to pay off her mother's medical
bills and funeral costs.
Perry wrote an editorial and let her stay at his home
while he petitioned management for back pay (she'd been
working on her own there after everyone was gone).
Clark headed home to spend Christmas with his parents
and Lana.

#466: The Limits of Power
A space shuttle crashed during reentry. The astronauts
survived, but experienced a weird radiation - one's
hair turned completely white, two had their entire bodies
mutated (one ended up with no mass, the other appeared
to be made of earth). They headed to Metropolis - Lexcorp
funded the experiment.
Clark had dinner at Lois' apartment. The White's stopped
by for an unexpected visit. Alice was very forthcoming
with her displeasure with Clark for leaving the Daily
Planet.
Word got out that four radiated freaks were trying to
break into Lexcorp. Superman was quick to the scene.
Hank Henshaw, one of the astronauts, introduced himself
and explained things to Superman. The Man of Steel agreed
to help.
Jose Delgado visited Cat Grant to tell her he'd been
hired to be her bodyguard during the upcoming trial
(as Gangbuster).
One of the astronauts (the one with no mass) flipped
out and flew himself into the sun. Henshaw died conducting
experiments, and the earth creature also committed suicide.
Only the female, Terri, survived.
Lois returned to her apartment; Clark was still there.
He kissed her.
Action
#655: Survival
Clark got a funny feeling when Lois stood him up for
dinner with his parents. He changed clothes and flew
to Metropolis. He got a lead on her from an army guy
saying something about some hardware which had been
disappearing of late.
Lois had hopped onto one of the trucks, which entered
a huge underground compound. She was captured. Superman
saved her and took down the militants.
