Lovely Lady
Lana Lang, Superboy's high school sweetheart who was pretty much exactly to Superboy what Lois was to Superman; always trying to win his love and figure out his secret identity. In the original continuity she'd eventually come to Metropolis and become a television reporter where she competed for Supes affections with Lois regularly. After the revamp she loved Clark, but eventually moved on to marry (and divorce) Pete Ross.
THE BREAK UP
Superman felt he couldn't marry because it'd endanger his wife, so she was left pining.
Lovely Lady
Linda Lee, the secret identity of Kara Zor-El, Supergirl. His cousin.
THE BREAK UP
Sadly it took a law to make it happen. Ew.
Lovely Lady
Lori Lemaris, Superman's college girlfriend. When he meets her she's in wheelchair, her legs always covered. They fall in love, and he eventually discovers she's a mermaid. Proving he's the least shallow guy ever, he tells her he doesn't care and is willing to give up being Superman to be with her.
THE BREAK UP
She's a freaking fish.
Lovely Lady
Lyrica Lloyd, the movie star. After some one notices Clark Kent looks quite a bit like Supes, they cast him in a movie about Superman starring opposite Lyrica. He falls in love with her, and even reveals his secret identity to her.
THE BREAK UP
While filming in Africa she caught a "jungle disease" which was killing her. I think Spike Lee made a movie about it.
Lovely Lady
Lyla Lerrol, the movie star from another world. Way back when, Superman used to jump around in time quite frequently. It was like going to the corner store for milk for him. And on one of his trips back to Krypton he met and fell in love with the most famous actress on Krypton, Lyle Lerrol.
THE BREAK UP
She lived in the past on a planet that blew up. Long distance relationships never work.
Lovely Lady
Luma Lynai, the superwoman. Supergirl felt bad that Superman could not be with some one because she'd be a target for villains, so she went out and found some one who could defend herself, a superhero from another world. Who happened to look exactly like her.
THE BREAK UP
The creepy police clamped down on the whole situation. Or she couldn't live on or Earth or something. I don't know, i couldn't get past the super-incest over tones.
Lovely Lady
Lois Lane. You know Lois Lane. She's in all the movies and cartoons. Always chasing after Supes, and Supes always fearing for her life.
THE BREAK UP
They didn't. They got hitched. It's very sweet.
Unless you ask Bryan Singer, but nobody asked you, buddy.

Comments/Questions, professor:
Was Lori Lemaris disguised as a legged-girl in a wheelchair always there? I thought that was Byrne revamp, but I admit I knew the character but never read a pre-Crisis story about her.
I suppose that picture of Superman telling Supergirl that, shucks, it'd be unlawful for them to get married (because, at least as far as matrimony goes, Kryptonian law supercedes the laws of their adopted planet at the House of El. I must have missed them watching that crystal)is supposed to be... Comforting? Reassuring? It instead leaves me feeling like grandma held the kiss a little too long.
*shudder*
Was the "Jungle Fever" which killed Lyrica Lloyd (what the hell's with that name? Is her alter ego in Jem and the Holograms?) the same mysterious, incurable disease which killed the Pre-Crisis Ma and Pa Kent? Don't wait for the coroner's report- It was a Kryptonian disease, wasn't it? WASN'T IT?! Prosecution rests.
Did you finally come down from that damned spell Superman Returns put you under?
And lastly: if you rearrange the letters in Lois' name, you get "Oils."
If you rearrange the letters in Lana's name: "Anal."
Just sayin'.
I still love the visuals of Superman Returns, and honestly believe it's a logical extension of the character we saw in the first two films, but I grow to love it less every day.
The wheelchair thing was there in Lori Lemaris' first appearance.
And the jungle disease was Earthly in origin, and called only "the jungle disease". I think it's pretty convenient for the writer that Lyrica didn't know the name of the disease so he didn't have to write it.
Okay, can I just say *I* wouldn't mind seeing Superman and Luthor jumping each other's bones?
If only because the "morning after" awkwardness would be hysterical? ;^)
Best,
J.
You're a bad man, James. A bad, bad man.
No Maxima?! :(
I know she's Byrne era (or I think she is), but I liked her stuff in the Animated shows.
Oh God I'm dense, she's not an LL....
