Lana Lang last edited by dstorres on 08/08/23 06:11AM View full history Origin Lana Lang was born and raised in Smallville, just down the road from the boy named Clark Kent, who was the same age (but secretly a super-powered Kryptonian). The two first met as young children in elementary school. As the years passed, Lana grew into the pretty red-haired "girl next door" whom Clark developed a romantic interest in. After they reached their teens, Lana and Clark became high school sweethearts. The two maintained a friendly relationship after parting ways following high school. Lana had known Clark Kent all her life. Her Aunt Ruth, difficult as she was, raised her right. Creation Lana Lang was created in 1950 by writer Bill Finger and artist John Sikela and first appeared in Superboy #10 in the story "The Girl in Superboy's Life". She is one of several Superman characters with the initials "LL" (others include Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, Laurie Lemmon, Lori Lemaris, Lenora Lemaris and Lyla Lerrol). Lana has traditionally been depicted as Clark Kent's teenage love interest in DC Comics. Her first comic book appearance was twelve years after Clark's longtime adult love interest, Lois Lane. Character Evolution Silver Age During the Silver Age, Lana was the literal girl next door who was obsessed with proving that Superboy and Clark were the same person. As was common in the Silver Age, she also gained insect powers at one point after saving the life of an alien traveler who had been pinned under a tree. In gratitude for this, he gave her a bio-genetic ring. After discovering that the ring could transform the user into insects or give its user insects's powers or attributes, she became the Insect Queen and went on a number of adventures with Superboy. Lana also gained reserve status in the Legion of Super-Heroes after saving them during her trip into the future. As an adult she became a television reporter for WMET-TV, and acted as a romantic rival for Lois Lane, as both women had their sights set on Clark. Bronze Age In the Bronze Age, Lana became an anchorwoman, and, for the first time since her original appearance, stopped pursuing Superman romantically, going so far as to take an assignment in Europe to forget him (Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane #109). In this same issue it was revealed that Lana was a graduate of Hudson University. (Later stories had Lana attending Metropolis University.) Lana would later team up with Clark Kent to co-anchor WGBS News (Superman #317). This situation changed in the run-up to the Crisis on Infinite Earths, as Lana and Clark were shown again to be romantically involved. In one of the last pre-Crisis Earth-1 stories it was revealed that Lana got married in Europe and had a son. The terrorist group Red Hand kidnapped her son and sent Lana the child's ear. Lana never spoke of this tragic event nor of her marriage while in Europe (Lois Lane #2). Also during this period, Lana was revealed to have an Earth-2 counterpart who was similar to the Earth-1 counterpart, but had left Smallville at a young age (The Superman Family #203). Later Lana was accidentally turned into the villainous Insect Queen by a magic amulet (The Superman Family #213). The events of Crisis erased these versions of Lana from existence.
