Fictional character biography

edit

Silver Age and Bronze Age

edit

Earth-One version

edit
Lana Lang and Clark Kent. FromThe New Adventures of Superboy#3, March 1980. Art byKurt Schaffenberger.

In the original Superboy stories, Lana was the girl who lived next door to the Kent family inSmallville,and was a romantic interest ofSuperboy.[2]In theSilver Agestories, Lana often behaved like a younger version of Lois Lane, spending much of her time trying to prove that Superboy and Clark Kent wereone and the same.[3]

At one point, Lana once rescued an insect-likealientrapped by a fallen tree in Smallville. In gratitude, the alien gave her a "bio-genetic" ring which allowed Lana to gain insect (and insect-like, such asarachnids) characteristics. Lana created a yellowhoneybee-like costume and mask, and took the name "Insect Queen",under which identity Lana had several adventures.[4]

Lana also had various adventures with Superboy, and several with the futuristic superhero team theLegion of Super-Heroes.[5]Also appearing in some Silver Age stories was Lana's uncle,Professor Potter,an eccentric inventor.[6]

After Clark and Lana graduated from high school, Lana went to college, and eventually became a television reporter for Metropolis TV station WMET-TV.[7]As an adult, Lana became a rival to Lois Lane for Superman's affection in various 1960s stories, often appearing in the Lois Lane comics seriesSuperman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane.

During the 1970s and early 1980s, Lana became ananchorwomanfor WGBS-TV's evening news inMetropolis,as a co-anchor to Clark Kent.[8]Her attraction to Superman during this time had also died off, leaving Superman to Lois Lane. Lana later became romantically linked to the alien super-heroVartox.[9]Eventually, she and Clark Kent became romantically involved in stories prior to theCrisis on Infinite Earths.

Earth-Two version

edit

In the early 1980s, with the use of themultiversesystem DC had in place, Lana Lang was also shown in several stories to have had anEarth-Twocounterpart (Earth-Two at the time the home of theJustice Society of Americaand DC'sGolden Ageversions of its characters, versus its mainstream universe of "Earth-One" ). The Earth-Two Lana Lang was introduced inSuperman Family#203. In this story, Lana Lang joins theDaily Staras a television critic. On Earth-Two Lana's father left Smallville and moved toMetropolisas a young man, so Clark did not know Lana in his youth.

Later, she became an Insect Queen like her Earth-One counterpart; in this case, Lana had received a mystic amulet from her archaeologist father, the amulet having been created to allow apharaohto control and divert thelocusthordes that threatened ancientEgypt.However, the sound of approaching insect wings was set to energize the charm associated with the amulet; by unfortunate coincidence, the sound of Superman's super-speed flying was similar enough to activate the spell. Lana was thus compelled to create achitinousgolden-brown costume (woven bysilkwormsunder her control) and adopt a villainous alter ego, the Insect Queen. After an initial clash with Superman, the Insect Queen fell under the mental influence of Superman's enemy, theUltra-Humanite,who kept her under the spell's compulsion and prevented her from reverting to normal. Earth-Two's Superman was able to locate anantidoteto the spell, which Lois Lane used to remove the compulsion (Superman Family#213), letting Lana break free of Ultra's influence and making her able to use the amulet's power at her own discretion. The Earth-2 Insect Queen would later use her abilities to aid Superman in times of need. This version of Lana Lang wasretconnedout of existence after the events ofCrisis on Infinite Earths.

Modern Age

edit

After the 1985-1986 miniseriesCrisis on Infinite Earthswas written, various aspects of Lana's history wereretconned,starting with comics writerJohn Byrne's miniseriesThe Man of Steel,which was designed to rewrite Superman's origin from scratch. In the post-Crisis version of events, Lana was a childhood friend of Clark, with a certain degree of romantic tension in the air as Lana had long pined after Clark, who had loved her only platonically in return.[10]

After they graduated from high school Clark took Lana on a private walk, saying that he had to tell her something important, which Lana honestly expected to be a marriage proposal. He then divulged to her that he had superpowers, displayed by flying her around the world, before explaining that he felt he had to leave Smallville to help humanity as a whole. Kissing her goodbye "like a brother", Lana was left in considerable shock, not only over the revelation of Clark's superpowers, but also over the final realization that he held no reciprocal romantic feelings towards her, leaving Lana heartbroken and alone. When Lana finally aired her grievance with him years later (The Man of Steel#6), Clark felt very badly over how he had hurt her.

When Clark appeared in public as Superman some years later, the lonely and depressed Lana deduced his true identity and became something of astalker,to the extent thatLex Luthornoticed the frequency with which she appeared in the vicinity of the hero and actually had her tortured in an attempt to gain whatever inside knowledge of Superman she might have.[11]Lana bravely kept Clark's identity a secret and upon his rescuing her their relationship became more healthy once again, albeit still at a distance. A long-term conspiracy of the Oan-created androids, the Manhunters, from whose control Lana and the rest of Smallville's children born around the same time as her were eventually freed, proved to be the cause of this stalking. Unlike the pre-Crisis Earth-One continuity, Lana did not go on to have a journalistic career or compete with Lois for Superman's affections, nor play a significant role in Clark's life in Metropolis.

Lana's relationship with Clark is again altered in 2003'sSuperman: Birthrightlimited seriesbyMark Waid,which again revises Superman's origins. This storyline, which takes some inspiration from the TV showSmallville(such as the appearance of Ma and Pa Kent), also shows Clark and Lana to have had a mutual romantic relationship during their youth. At the start of the storyline, Lana has already left Smallville prior to Clark's return from his world journey. Upon his arrival home, Clark is told that Lana left some time prior and no one has heard from her since. Following this storyline, there is never again any mention of her history regarding Clark or Superman.

Lana's "Birthright" history has been yet again re-made following the events of theInfinite Crisis,which has revived Clark's pre-CrisisSuperboy alter-ego. In this new history, Lana's two obnoxious brothers, whom she lacked in previous versions, often interrupted her romantic relationship with Clark. The full extent of her history and her connection to Superboy/Clark has not been fully disclosed. Again, her previous history has not been mentioned since this revision.

Years later, the post-CrisisLana eventually marriedPete Ross.[volume & issue needed]The two settled into a quiet life in Smallville, where they had a son they named after their mutual friend, Clark. They picked this name for their son after Lana asked Clark to save his life when a car accident caused him to be born eight weeks premature. Although the attack of theBrainiac-controlledDoomsdayinterrupted Clark's efforts to take the baby to receive care, Brainiac's subsequent attempts to use the baby'sDNAto create a new body for himself brought the baby to full term.[volume & issue needed]Pete began a career in politics that got him elected to theSenate.[volume & issue needed]In 2000, Senator Ross became Lex Luthor'svice presidentialrunning mate in Luthor's bid to becomePresident,and after the two won, Lana moved toWashington, D.C.Eventually, Luthor was forced from his office, and Pete Ross became President (and Lana theFirst Lady). As she and Pete began to drift apart, Lana began to subtly attempt to regain Clark's affections, much to the anger of his (now) wife Lois Lane. Pete and Lana briefly reunited after Superman saved them from a murder attempt by the villainousRuin.[12]

InSuperman#654,Perry Whitereported that Lana had becomeCEOofLexcorpfollowing the ousting of founder Lex Luthor. InSuperman/Batman#49, it is revealed that she soldKryptoniteto the government to prevent Lexcorp from going under and had caches of Kryptonite placed all over the planet, as a last-ditch defense if Superman should ever go rogue. When Superman and Batman come to remove the Kryptonite, Lana refuses to hand it over and pushes a button which turns the caches into "dirty bombs" which spread Kryptonite molecules through the entire planet, forcing allKryptoniansto vacate. However,Toymanuses special nanobots to remove all of the Kryptonite molecules, undoing the damage. Superman meets with Lana again, with Lana telling him she was left with no choice. Superman responds by telling her that, while he does sometimes wonder what things would have been like if he had married her rather than Lois, there is a reason he is with Lois instead of her: Lois would never have pushed the button. After Superman flies off, someone is shown watching Lana crying on a screen, saying to her "you did perfect". In Superman/Batman #63 suggests that this wasGorilla Grodd,when Batman mentions that "Grodd finally finished what he started when he controlled Lana all those years ago". However, this scenario is later revealed to be a simulation created in the Batcomputer.

She later tries to help Superman, facing the time-traveling strongmanAtlas,by sending the Luthor Squad. This act activates a dormant program inside the Lexcorp mainframes, an holographic version of Luthor. The holographic copy of Luthor informs Lana that by helping Superman she has violated the Lexcorp standard contract of employment ( "very, very fine print" ), that forbids Lexcorp employees to use Lexcorp resources for helping Kryptonians, under the penalty of termination. Lana is given five minutes to leave the building, or they will shoot her to death.[13]

In 2008, a newSupergirlwriterSterling GatestoldNewsaramaabout Lana Lang: "We're integrating Supergirl's book more into the Superman universe, and that includes having a supporting cast that overlaps with that world. I'm very interested in tying her back in to Metropolis and making sure that her world is a part of the Superman universe.Cat Grantwill be a regular supporting cast member, as will Lana Lang ".[14]

Lana takes it upon herself to reach out to Supergirl. She offers her advice and friendship. Around the same time,Perry Whitehas been actively pursuing Lana to take over the Business section of theDaily Planet,a position which Lana was afraid to accept, following her bad experience with Lexcorp. Eventually, Lana and Supergirl decide together that Lana will accept the position, and that Supergirl will take on the secret identity of Linda Lang, niece of Lana Lang. Lana now lives in Metropolis with Supergirl, and is working as the editor of the Business section of theDaily Planet.

She briefly returns to Smallville to attendJonathan Kent's funeral. However, unable to muster enough resolve to patch up things with Clark, Lana leaves before giving him her condolences.[15]

While attending a student journalism award ceremony withJimmy Olsenand Cat Grant, Lana suddenly collapses, with blood pouring out her nose.;[16]She receives a call from her doctor telling her that he has "bad news" for her.[17]After Lana has another collapse, she is taken to the hospital and brought into surgery. She apparently dies on the operating table, but black insect-like creatures later encase her body in a cocoon, which then starts to crack open.[18]A gigantic cocoon-like structure soon engulfs the hospital, and an army of giant insects takes hostage a number of workers as well as theScience Policeand theGuardian.Supergirl is soon captured and awakens bound and gagged at the feet of Lana, whom the Insect Queen now possesses. The Queen reveals to Supergirl that during her last encounter with Lana, she injected her with a portion of her DNA and has been slowly taking control of her body for the past year, with the ultimate goal of capturing a Kryptonian to use as a template for an army of hybrid insects. Supergirl breaks free and is able to expel the Queen from Lana's body with help from Kryptonian technology, and Lana returns to her normal state. While Lana is recovering, Supergirl visits her. Supergirl tells Lana she can no longer be a part of her family because of her lies about her condition.[19]Lana and "Linda" have since reconciled and are currently living in the Hammersmith tower building in Metropolis.[20]

The New 52

edit

In September 2011,DC Comicsrebooted their continuity. In this new timeline, Lana is a childhood friend of Clark and has been privy to Clark's unusual abilities from an early age.[21]They also share mutual romantic feelings for each other during their youth, and they would have gone to the Senior Prom together if that had not been the night that Clark's parents died.[22]Lana eventually leaves Clark behind in Smallville to make her own mark on the world, but not before reassuring him that she will always love him.[23]In the present day continuity, Lana works as an electrical engineer on various projects around the world. It is hinted that adult Clark still harbors romantic feelings for Lana.[24]

InThe New 52: Futures End,Lang was among the countlessEarth 2refugees who escapedDarkseidand his Parademon army's destruction of their home world and relocated toPrime Earth.Ending up working in theCadmus Islandsub-basement underKing Faraday,Lana was able to conceal her meta-human biology from everyone, exceptCole Cash.Lana and Cole eventually escaped the island together but were then forced to visit the Earth Registration Authority, where it was reported that Cole Cash had died nine years prior, forcing him to re-register under the legal name "Cole Lang" - Lana's husband and an Earth-2 native. Shortly afterwards, Lana adopted Susan Lang, formerly Fifty Sue, a super-powered little girl she had met on Cadmus Island.

DC Rebirth

edit

In 2016,DC Comicsstarted a company-wide crossover event titled Rebirth. A pre-Flashpoint Clark Kent discovered Lana under a memorial for Superman, where she revealed that she had made a promise to move Clark's remains next to his family's in Smallville, Kansas. The Pre-Flashpoint Clark had her take him to the Fortress of Solitude to see if he could revive Superman as he had assumed but realized that he couldn't. He then took Lana to Smallville and helped her to re-bury Superman's remains.

It is subsequently revealed that, apparently due to their presence at the death of the New 52 Clark Kent, Lana and Lois have acquired powers, each calling themselves 'Superwoman', with Lois demonstrating Superman's traditional powers while Lana manifests a form similar to the more recent 'Superman Red', able to absorb and generate multiple forms of energy. Although Lana initially plans to operate in secret, after Lois is killed, she begins taking on a more active role as Superwoman. She continues to function as Superwoman but is ultimately de-powered and returns to normal life.

Reception

edit

The character of Lana Lang has been analyzed as aportrayal of women in American comics.Her depiction in comics is seen in contrast toLois Lane,in that "everything that woman are thought to be that the plot does not allow Lois spills over into Lana's character. Thus, the exaggeratedly feminine nature of Lana's speech and appearance- her form-fitting, sometimes revealing outfits for example- stands in contrast to Lois' sportier clothes and straightforward speech."[35]
