Lane Family

History
Sam Lane a career military officer married Eleanore Sullivan. Sam desired a son but instead received two daughters, treated each of them as if they were members of his unit during their childhoods. This included combat training, and Lois once admitted that he even taught them to throw knives with their toes.

As an army child, Lois moved around a lot with her family growing up. At the age of fifteen, while her family was living near San Francisco, she approached Perry White at the Daily Planet and asked him for a job. She had met White once before, when she had visited the newspaper with her class. She lied and said that she was nineteen, but her little sister Lucy (who had come with her) told Perry the truth. Overhearing some reporters say that whomever gets a scoop on Alexander Luthor would get on Perry's good side, Lois decided to attempt the seemingly impossible. She sneaked out of the house (which, considering her family lived on base, was no small feat) and managed to break into Luthor's tower and swipe some files. She was caught by Luthor himself, however, who gave her a paddling and sent her on her way. Perry was so impressed that he did agree to hire her.

Lois would quickly rise as a reporter at the Daily Planet, winning a coveted Pulitzer Prize before one of the biggest stories of her career turned up: the day she met Superman.
