Has Lois' dad ever been anything more than a poor man's Thunderbolt Ross?
He doesn't even turn into a red Superman.

I didn't even know her dad was in the military. Or they even made her father-a recognizable individual in the comic books.
read more comic books
I watch cartoons instead. I only read manga, not c*mics.
General lane was in the Animated Series too.
New show has had Lois pull the "boo hoo I'm a military brat and moved a lot :(" bit twice already.
It's a shame that adaptions keep harping on Lex when Sam Lane should be just as big a deal thematically.
General Lane is not in a single classic Superman story.
Superman's cast of characters frickin' sucks.
Wrong
iirc when he first showed up in the comics, he wasn't even MILITARY GUY all the time, he was just an overprotective butthole who was man enough to apologise when he went too far.
When he first appeared in the Silver Age, Lois' dad was originally a farmer who really wanted Superman to marry his daughter. He didn't become a military man until post-crisis.
Wait, so Lois Lane grew up on a farm just like Clark did? Hard to believe considering how her being a city girl who teases Clark for being from bumfrick Smallville is a big part of their dynamic now.
Amusingly, back in the Silver Age Clark did NOT grow up on a farm. Pa Kent wasn't a farmer, he was the owner of Smallville's General Store and the family lived in a normal suburban home. The iconography of Clark Kent growing up on a farm didn't become a thing until the Superman movie, which is also where Smallville was established as being in Kansas, and then Byrne made it canon post-crisis in the Man of Steel miniseries.
Everything I thought I knew is a LIE!
The Golden Age Kents were farmers though (picrel is from 1942 and Tom Mankiewicz definitely read this book)
She was an army brat who left home early but she was born in Pittsdale, Iowa.
>General Lane turns into Red Superman
You know comic books writers browse Cinemaphile and that is just the kind of dumbass idea they would rip off for a story arc. You are playing with fire OP!
Eiling >>>>> Ross > Sam
Shaggy Man Eiling should've put on an oversized military uniform
Who?
True, but Shaggy Man Eiling sucked ass.
One of the few things I thank the New 52 for is that they made Sam Lane less cartoonishly evil.
>red Superman
Bendis killed him in Event Leviathan last I remember.
