Lois Lane and Karen Beecher attended Metropolis Middle School. In her teens, Lois Lane is a reporter from Metropolis High and covers the super hero beat. Lane posts her articles on her Super News website. Lane currently attends Metropolis PS 428. She was on scene when Bumblebee saved a mother and her infant child from the roof of a burning building. After the Granny Goodness incident, Lane reported on Metropolis' hot new trend: Harley Quinn. She featured Capes & Cowls Cafe's Smoothie Quinn and Harley Con. Once Harley had enough and squashed her newfound fame, Lane reported Metropolis was mostly back to normal. Lane later covered a clean up of Centennial Park by a couple students from Super Hero High. She took an ad lib from Star Sapphire. The day before the end of the semester, Lane witnessed Bumblebee defeat Killer Croc and stop him from stealing tuna fish sandwiches. She conducted an impromptu interview. At 8 pm, Giganta accidentally grabbed Lane's order. Trevor tried to tell her but she was insulted and grabbed him. Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, and Lady Shiva arrived at the cafe. Lane recorded the battle.

The next morning, after 9 am, Lane was searching for some leads and stumbled upon Lex Luthor's latest vlog. She contacted Batgirl and forwarded her the vlog. Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Supergirl, Bumblebee, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Katana used the vlog to prove to Principal Waller that their powers improved since they started attending Super Hero High and pass their final exam. Lois Lane heavily covered the annual Hero of the Year gala, even visiting campus in the days leading up to it. On Thursday, she interviewed nominees for the award: Hawkgirl, Cyborg, Katana, Lady Shiva, Flash, Bumblebee, and Wonder Woman. She also asked Supergirl and Batgirl who they thought was gong to win but Harley interrupted and talked about when she first dreamed of being a hero. After the Amethyst started to act up, Lane followed Principal Waller to the tower roof but Waller dismissed her. Hawkgirl landed, ready for the top secret meeting. To Waller's annoyance, Hawkgirl revealed she knew about the meeting because she saw Lane's report.

On the day of, Lane attempted to get a comment from Vice Principal Grodd on the recent supervillain activity. Grodd didn't know she was at first until Lane reminded him he repeatedly denied her requests for interviews. Grodd was suspicious she was really Lane or not until she unleashed a flurry of questions about the villains. Grodd tried to walk away but Lane followed him and asked about his time on a work release squad. Lane did a Hero of the Year pre-show that featured nominees like Cyborg. While he talked about his favorite classical and modern thinkers, Cyborg was interrupted by Harley. Concerned two nominees, Wonder Woman and Bumblebee, weren't back at campus yet, Principal Waller asked Lane to help stall for time. Lane was excited to get a mission from Waller and tried to interview the infamously hard to find Miss Martian but she turned invisible. Somehow, Harley found Lane again. Lane tried to cover Eclipso and Dark Opal's sudden arrival but was forced to take cover when their Shadow Demons started to attack.

Lane observed their weakness to light and started moving the spotlight projectors on them after Batgirl turned the electricity back on. Lane attended the post-gala dinner at Kent Farm. Lane was invited to write the introduction to the Super Hero High School Yearbook. After getting to know the students in the past year, she wrote they were the most capable, skilled, and downright powerful supers-in-training in the entire universe and the high school was the definitive place where they could discover their unique abilities, develop their powers, and master the fundamentals of being a super hero. Halfway during summer, Lane reported on invading gods in Centennial Park but fell under Strife's spell and pointed out how the supers were having fun while the city suffered. Lane interviewed Hal Jordan during his going away party at Capes & Cowls. She asked him if he had anything to tell his fans before he left to Oa. Jordan replied it was sweet getting called up to the Green Lantern Corps and completing his training.

Jordan promised another ring would be sent to choose a replacement to protect Earth. Lane's cameragirl, Jessica Cruz, was startled by a balloon popping. Solomon Grundy entered with the intent to get revenge on Jordan. Cruz hid under the table but Lane checked if she was still rolling. Once the fight was over, Jordan helped Cruz up. Lane signed off, telling fans Earth had nothing to fear. As Batgirl walked Grundy into her Batty Wagon, Lane declared it was another day saved by Super Hero High students. She was excited with Sinestro's sudden arrival and told Cruz to keep rolling. Cruz was scared. Oblivious, Lane wanted to go get a better view of the action. They set up in an alley. Lane wanted to get even closer but she turned around and saw Cruz running away. Lois Lane ran back to the scene of the battle. She called Cruz to meet her there because there was a new Green Lantern. Lane was stunned to see the new Lantern was Cruz and dropped her phone.

Lois Lane arrived at S.T.A.R. Labs following the thirteenth floor explosion but she was barred entry by Mayor Sackett, who treated her like a little girl. Lane flashed her all access press pass and asked him what the explosion was about. Sackett only commented it was a lab accident and mockingly told her it was awfully late for a girl to be out alone. Lane hid in a bush and sneaked in when Sackett started talking to the police officers posted at the entrance about how he was the best mayor Metropolis ever had. Batgirl, Bumblebee, and Ivy found Lane hiding in a janitor's closet. Bumblebee and Lane did their old middle school chant. Lane mentioned what Sackett told her but Batgirl pointed out he wouldn't know that since the detectives haven't even seen the crime scene yet. As they stepped outside, Sackett greeted them with Ron Troupe and Jimmy Olsen from the Daily Planet. He wanted a photo op but was surprised Lane was with them. Batgirl stated she was with them. Sackett replied a friend of his favorite super heroes was a friend of his. He asked Lane to scoot over. She didn't like Troupe getting to cover the story.

Batgirl was annoyed the Daily Planet published an article quoting Sackett saying it was just an explosion drill and had Oracle find Lane's contact info. While they walked around downtown, Batgirl was horrified to see her father on a date with Silver St. Cloud. The next day, Batgirl invited Lane to her bunker but was still steaming over seeing her father out on a date with Silver St. Cloud. She speculated he was brainwashed or mind controlled. Lane believed it was just a normal date. Batgirl cited her reality show and thought she was a spoiled brat. Lane thought she was really nice and told her about an old interview she did about her art gallery's free after-school programs for neighborhood children and charity work with the local police department. Batgirl pointed out villains often hid their true nature by doing charity. Lane suggested she give St. Cloud a chance then tried to steer things back to the explosion. Batgirl created a dating profile for Commissioner Gordon then they went to talk to Catwoman.

Batgirl asked Harley if she saw Catwoman. She asked Lane about going to the dance but Lane pointed out she didn't go to Super Hero High. Harley wasn't concerned about that. They continued to the gymnastics zone. Catwoman explained why she was on night watch then started going off tangent about eavesdropping on Waller's date but on Lane and Batgirl's insistence, told them about seeing Killer Croc and Mayor Sackett. She admitted she had no idea who the woman with Sackett was. Catwoman advised them to talk to Ivy next since she had history with S.T.A.R. Labs. On the way to the greenhouse, Batgirl got a hit on her father's dating profile. She saw the match was Canadian and assumed she would be nice then set up a date for that night. Lane got uncomfortable about the stereotype. Unbeknownst to her at the time, the woman happened to be the same person with Sackett just before the explosion. Harley presented the Flash. Flash asked Lane to the dance. She agreed to. He suggested they meet at 7 then he sped off. Lane suspected Harley was playing matchmaker but she feigned innocence.

Ivy hesitated when Batgirl and Lane inquired about her past with S.T.A.R. Labs. Harley went on the defensive but Ivy decided she was ready to talk about it. After telling her story, Ivy shared her opinion that the explosion wasn't an accident and someone was trying to hurt her. Ivy told Lane it was all on the record on the chance it would help catch who hurt Faulkner. Lane and Batgirl agreed S.T.A.R. was purposefully manufacturing superpowers and the explosion was an example of what happens that it went wrong. Lane went to the Daily Planet while Batgirl looked up records to see if there was anything to back up Ivy's story. Outside of the Planet, Lane watched a new super hero stop a purse snatcher. Lane tried to ask the Turtle Boy for an interview but he was gone. Olsen ran into Lane and greeted her. He claimed he didn't see anyone and seemed to already know the hero was named Giant Turtle Boy. Lane revealed she was going to the Planet with a story about S.T.A.R. Labs because she needed to get the truth out as fast as she could. Troupe was impressed and knew it could be really explosive for the story.

Olsen started repeating things Mayor Sackett told him like what people didn't know wouldn't hurt them. Lane countered the public needed to to be able to make informed decisions. Olsen suggested it was up to people like reporters to make sure everyone else was doing what was best for them and controlling the news so people don't waste their time worrying. Lane was upset at the mention of Sackett but Plastique arrived took everyone hostage to make them publish a story about how she was tricked and had a super power foisted upon her. Lane asked if she was alluding to Dr. Faulkner. Plastique got angry and demonstrated her exploding powers, shouting it was up to the Plant to hold people in power accountable but didn't and betrayed people like her. Lane approached and asked to hear her story, to Plastique's surprise. Lane informed her she was investigating the explosion and deduced she was behind it. Plastique admitted it was the only way she knew to get someone to pay attention. Lane implored her to continue.

Plastique revealed Sackett recruited her to help turn Metropolis into a utopia with the cleanest air, purest water, and organic gardens on every rooftop but instead Dr. Faulkner weaponized her. Wonder Woman's presence made the situation tense and Plastique suspected she was one of Sackett's lackeys. To make matters worse, Batgirl hailed her comm and informed her the other Supers were on their way to take down Plastique. Lane tried to defuse things and remind her she wanted to help people, not hurt them. Plastique admitted she couldn't stop the process of blowing up. Wonder Woman couldn't get a hold of Supergirl so she flew Plastique up in the sky to safely detonate then they fell to the street below. Wonder Woman took the brunt of the impact. Commissioner Gordon took Plastique into custody. She asked Lane if she was going to tell her story. Lane promised and gave her contact info to Plastique on the condition she be her first call from jail.

Perry White returned from his vacation and demanded to know what happened. Olsen confessed he let Mayor Sackett talk him into publishing things that weren't true. Troupe took responsibility for all the damage. Lois Lane presented a correction with the first part of the real story about S.T.A.R. Labs. She introduced herself. White was impressed with her reporting and asked if she ever considered working for the Daily Planet. She confessed it may have crossed her mind. She danced with Flash at the spring dance but her worried the music was too slow.

(Novels only) Lois Lane specialized in writing profiles of up-and-coming superheroes but her true love is in investigate reporting and unraveling mysteries. After a mishap at the Ferris Flight Track, Wonder Woman met Lane, who was taking notes about everything off to the side. She got Wonder Woman to agree to an interview and promised to treat her to the best fruit smoothies and sweet potato fries she ever had. The next day, Wonder Woman met Lane at the Capes & Cowls Cafe where her usual beverage is the acai berry smoothie. The interview was a success. It was front-page news in Metropolis High's newspaper and online at Super News. The Daily Planet picked it up and ran it in the "What's New News" section. On the side, Lane was intrigued when Wonder Woman mentioned the anonymous hate messages she was getting. The following week, Lane wrote an editorial saying it was empowering for mortal teens to see their heroes mess up. She cited Harley Quinn's HQTV Tribute Video and implored all students to embrace their mistakes now while they were in school.

Four weeks into the semester, Lane asked Wonder Woman to meet her at Capes & Cowls. Lane was late because of reports of a rocket ship that landed near a town called Smallville. She presented a theory that someone at Super Hero High was responsible for or aiding in the anonymous threats. Her clue was one of the threats, written on a piece of paper with Super Hero High's logo on it. She asked Wonder Woman if there was someone who could spy for them. Hawkgirl was called in. Lane congratulated her on being the latest Hero of the Month and got an interview. They briefed Hawkgirl on what was going on. Just as they finished, some students from CAD Academy entered the cafe and jeered Super Hero High. Lane explained CAD Academy's history and the rumors of it being a launching pad for super villains. Over the next few weeks, Lane learned their prime suspect Mandy Bowin had enrolled in an elite music conservatory after being kicked out of Super Hero High. Suspicious of Bowin not mentioning her former tie to the school, Lane asked Barbara Gordon to look into her activities online.

Gordon found a deleted post on Bowin's Our Space page, "Mandy Bowin out, Wonder Woman in." The next week or so, Wonder Woman met up with Lane and Hawkgirl at the weekly Metropolis Farmers' Market in Centennial Park. Lane relayed Bowin's address to her. Lane and Hawkgirl didn't agree with Wonder Woman's idea to go and see Bowin. However, it turned out Bowin was innocent. As weeks flew by in preparation for the 100th Annual Super Triathlon, Lane did a new webseries titled "The High Price of Competition" that featured team members from schools participating in the Triathlon. During that time, Lane heard a rumor that a new superhero might be joining Super Hero High. On the day of the Triathlon, Lane approached Wonder Woman for a quote before the competition started. First, she gave Wonder Woman a note from Steve Trevor wishing her and the team good luck. Lane wrote an extensive article about Wonder Woman and the team for both Super News and the Daily Planet. She reported on several supers fighting Giganta at Eclipso Jewels and credited Cheetah.

Supergirl agreed to meet with Lane at Capes & Cowls but she wasn't ready for an interview. Lane understood and tabled it. After reported attempts to breach the doors guarding the Boom Tubes, an emergency assembly was held. Lane started a web broadcast analyzing who could be amassing an army to invade Earth. According to her sources, Lane speculated the culprit could be Darkseid, Mongul, or Massacre. Lane interviewed one of Super Hero High's newest teachers, Doc Magnus. He revealed one of his most promising students was Batgirl. In the lead-up to the pilot episode of TechTalkTV, she interviewed Batgirl for her blog. On the day of, she intercepted an anonymous tip that Killer Croc and Solomon Grundy were robbing the Metropolis Movie Theater that afternoon. She passed it along to Commissioner Gordon. She later did an article about HarleyGrams, the next step in Harley Quinn's social media empire. Lane did a broadcast warning the Dragon King was heading to Metropolis.

Lois Lane found Jervis Tetch at the Krazy Karnival before Harley Quinn but had no qualms about them interviewing the elusive carnival owner together. She later interviewed Harley in front of Capes & Cowls Cafe after she was made Hero of the Month for stopping Tetch.
