Ever since DC lead off razz Phil Jiminez , Matt Santorelli , and Jeromy Cox ’s Superwoman , they ’ve made it clean that Lois Lane ( the New 52 adaptation of the character , not the Lois Lane née White that ’s matrimonial to the Pre - Flashpoint Superman ) is in rough shape .

Since Superman exit , Lois has been getting some pointer for her newfound power from Lana Lang , Clark ’s closest confidant . But as Lois mentions above , it ’s not just her that was bear upon by the clap that kill Superman . Lana was as well … and it wrench out that Lana is every bit the Superwoman Lois is …
Except that she ’s essentially Superwoman Red , an court to the freakish clip Superman split into two electrical energy - base heroes , Superman Red and Superman Blue , for a brief metre in 1998 . It was n’t a corking import in Superman ’s foresighted history , so it ’s especially weird to see it invoked here in Superwoman # 1 .
While Lois got all of the traditional Superman powers — heat vision , freeze breath , superhearing , all that — Lana get the king Clark beget in that clip he was Superman Blue , manipulating electric fields at a whimsey . When she and Lois work together to stop Lex Luthor ’s new battleship from smashing into a bridge circuit ( oh , by the way , Lex Luthor — who is ALSO A battery-acid because practically everyone is these days — build himself a gargantuan battlewagon to monitor Metropolis while he was off doing Superman material . It does n’t go well ! ) , Lana acknowledges that while she does n’t have the strength enhancement or fancy move Lois picked up , she ’s every minute a Superwoman as Lois is .
It ’s an unlikely bond , given that the two woman have seldom been fond of each other in the New 52 . But throughout Superwoman # 1 , we dash back to Lois and Lana organize their dynamic twosome as Superwomen disregarding of that fact — and what we discover is just how much Lana leaning on Lois as a rootage of strength . She ’s always telling Lois that if they desire to do this Superwoman thing together , they have to be there for each other — neither of them can do it alone , but Lana particularly , still raw over the passing of Clark .
There ’s gon na be a piece of a problem with that , though . turn out the braid of Superwoman # 1 is n’t that Lana Lang is a superhero now .
It ’s that Lois Lane is dead . It is , after all , called Superwoman and not Superwomen . There can only be one !
After the daylight is purportedly saved , Lois and Lana discover that the mysterious entity behind the attack on Lex ’s battlewagon is still sneaking around — a new female villain . And she ’s more than a friction match for Lois , still getting used to her powers … and she quickly dispatches her right on in front of Lana . Lois goes into a supernova , just as Clark did before her , and is pass on as nothing but collapse ash .
So say hello to Lana Lang , DC Comics ’ raw Superwoman . lease ’s hope she survives a little longer than her herald did . Not been a good few weeksfor bequest characters relate to Superman , has it ?
