happened to Lois Lane

notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re looking at some of the
times throughout her comic book history
that Lois Lane’s life became a living
hell
mostly thanks to Superman Lois maybe
it’s time you explored other options
number 10
she was body shamed by Superman this is
the first entry on our list from the now
infamous comic series Superman’s
girlfriend Lois Lane which prominently
featured horrible things happening to
its title character many of them
inflicted by Superman himself in the
fifth issue of this series Lois grows
overweight after being exposed to a
mysterious ray rather than accepting her
new body type Superman spends much of
the issue making awful comments about
her weight and the worst part it was all
engineered by Superman in order to get
some mobsters off of Lois’s trail after
she testified in a case against them
we’re not sure why he couldn’t have just
gotten her a wig number 9 she was
tricked into thinking she’d killed a dog
and when the Man of Steel wasn’t
attacking Lois his body he was pulling
stunts like this after Lois is nearly
killed while trying to get a scoop
Superman once again swoops in to save
her after saving her Supes chides Lois
on her recklessness and hatches one of
many plans intended to teach her a
lesson
the next day Superman tricks Lois into
thinking she killed a dog that a nice
cream cone intended for her
in reality the dead dog is actually
Krypto with a coat of black paint how
this harebrained scheme was supposed to
teach Lois responsibility instead of
just traumatizing her is beyond us
number eight she was turned into a demon
and nearly married to Satan now this one
is just plain weird
in this story Lois falls for the
enchanting Raja Sat death but after
drinking a mysterious liquid that the
Rajah had been enjoying Lois crows horns
and a tail and learns his terrible
secret it turns out that Lois’s new bow
is none other than the devil himself and
he’s come to collect for the time that
Lois said she’d sell her soul for a
headline Lois is whisked off to the
underworld where she further learns that
her husband-to-be is actually an alien
and he wants her as his bride we tried
to warn you how weird this one was
number 7 she almost died by poisoning
one of the Joker’s favorite tricks is
putting his enemies in a position where
they have to choose between their ideals
and the lives of those around them this
is his plan in a story where he poisons
Lois with the substance of his own
creation the only way to cure her is for
the Joker to die himself forcing the Man
of Steel to choose between saving the
woman he loves or sticking to his no
killing policy after some convincing
from Batman Superman sticks to his guns
letting the Joker live seemingly
allowing Lois to die at least until she
suddenly recovers because it was all a
joke yeesh awkward number six Superman
allowed parasite to drain her memories
Superman’s had to go some extreme
lengths to wipe his secret identity from
Lois memories on those occasions where
she’s found out in some cases this can
mean a bizarre memory erasing super kiss
but it can get darker probably about
Superman in this story Superman decides
that rather than trust Lois with a
secret identity he’d rather let the
villain parasite feed on her which
partially drains her memories as far as
plans go doesn’t get more dangerous and
misguided than this one since Superman
had no idea if Lois would survive and
even if parasite would learn his secret
in the process not your best idea Supes
number five Superman charged her with
murder one of Superman’s defining
characteristics is his unwavering
devotion to truth justice and the rule
of law but sometimes it goes a bit too
far after Lois Lane and her romantic
rival Lana get into an argument the car
they’re in goes off a bridge seemingly
killing Lana Lois is put on trial for
Lana’s murder and Superman acts as the
prosecutor while Superman is trying to
put her behind bars even threatening her
with the death penalty Batman finds out
it was all a hoax
Superman relents citing his need to do
things by the book as his justification
for his aggressive and callous
prosecution of Lois and before Superman
tormented her to elicit emotions in this
story the movie is in the works about
Superman in The Daily Planet with
Superman and the planet staff playing
themselves well except for Lois who’s
rejected by the film’s director Superman
then acts increasingly hostile towards
her and on set sabotage is even blamed
on Lois it turns out it was all a ruse
by Superman so that Lois’s entirely
understandable breakdown could be filmed
using hidden cameras and used to
convince the director to give her
another shot
apparently trusting Lois to act was just
out of question
herd of directors going to extreme
lengths to get authentic performances
the superheroes this is just straight-up
emotional abuse number three
Superman as clark attended to commit
suicide in front of her Lois has had her
super-powered lover die in her arms a
few times now like in the famous death
of Superman story and it’s never been
easy but only once has this been a cruel
trick by Superman himself after Lois
poses as a famous actress to score an
interview Superman tries to teach her a
lesson by proposing to her as Clark Kent
Lois rejects him and later sees Clark
hurtling from the roof of the Daily
Planet Lois thinks Clark has turned to
suicide after having his heart broken
and even though he turns up alive and
well later the incident must have left
Lois with some emotional scars number
two she and her son get ripped to shreds
by Superman the Batman who laughs is a
relatively recent creation in the DC
Universe the Batman from an alternate
reality who went off the deep end after
a dose of Joker toxin
he’s what happens if he gave the Joker
all of Batman’s resources and brilliant
tactical mind in order to finish off his
two universes Superman he exposes the
Man of Steel to black kryptonite which
drives him mad in this state Superman
kills his wife Lois as well as their son
with his bare hands
in a story full of dark uncomfortable
moments it’s definitely up there as one
of the darkest before we reveal our
number one pick here are some of our
honorable or in this case dishonorable
mentions
number one Superman threw her and their
unborn child into space the injustice
gods among us tie-in comic is full of
dark brutal violent moments but none so
depressing as this one in the injustice
universe
Superman has become a cruel dictator
after killing the Joker and becoming a
brutal overlord what made him change
gears The Joker had previously poisoned
Superman with a mix of fear toxin and
kryptonite under the influence of the
toxin Superman hallucinates that Lois is
actually doomsday and he pulls his wife
in their unborn child into space the
toxin wears off just in time for him to
see her perish we know they wanted the
series to be dark but this is overkill
