The Complete And Entire History Of Lois Lane And Wonder Woman

[sailorlibra]

Well, sort of. A re-post of my much longer Lois/Diana histories on SD 1.0, it focuses on the highlights of their their times together.


Action Comics #600, right after Superman and Wonder Woman's first and only date.



And thus Lois's first real impression of Diana is as competition for Superman.

The next time Lois thinks about Diana is when she's invited to Themyscira along with a few other important officials. (See Bluefall's WWwA: Patriarch's World for more details.)




They don't run into each other again until after Clark marries Lois. From Action Comics #761:



Having had her flirt-time with her husband interrupted by a beautiful, flying woman, Lois is slightly jealous.




Sometimes you really have to wonder if it would even be possible for Clark to get even more clueless.





From Superman #156, Clark and Diana decide to tell Lois about their thousand-year-long vacation together.


For the record, that wasn't the actual Lois Lane. It's worth noting that, failing here, Clark and Diana never actually get around to tell Lois about their time together for quite a while.

From Wonder Woman #170, Lois is given the chance to interview Diana again. She plans to spend the whole day with Wonder Woman, trying to get an angle on the real woman.

Things go from bad, to good...



To bad again.


At the end of the day, they just decide to hang out.





Probably the most slashly Diana and Lois ever get. It was really damn slashly though.

In Action Comics #781, their semi-friendship starts to fall apart. Lois's dad dies after Clark decides to try to save Diana again. (Except it wasn't Diana, it was her mother, and he failed to save her.)








And from Superman #180, a vampire-infected Lois reveals that Clark's decision still bothers her.


It's worth noting that the vampire-infection was really just a plot device to get Lois and Clark to reveal some of their hidden issues with each other, so what Lois says here is supposed to be the way she really feels.

In Man of Steel #127, Lois's issues concerning her father's death are brought back up again. In the prior issue, she was turned into the goddess of integrity by a bunch of evil gods trying to harm Clark. Now she's experiencing life as a goddess.





And thus Lois decides to give up her goddesshood and to forgive Clark.

They have a short run-in with each other at Donna's funeral:


And a longer run-in during Adventures of Superman #628, when Lois is preparing to leave Clark to investigate a story in a war-torn third-world country.



Rucka!Diana, please come back to me! Gah, I swear I'm counting down the days until BN: Wonder Woman comes out.

They also hang out in Superman #661, in which Lois reveals that she's honestly not jealous of Diana and Clark anymore.




A supervillainess attacks, Clark is kidnapped, and Lois and Diana rescue him. Because they rock.

Lovely stuff.

I love the panel with Diana with the sun behind her pack, looking like a greek statue, a true Godess... And then Louis in a bathrobe with bedhair.

It manages to show both why Lois might be insecure and why she shouldn't be.

To be honest, I think Lois looks better than Diana on that page. Bedhair does it for me, for some reason.

Plus Diana was totally being a cockblocker there.

[arilou_skiff]

I'd put it as "DIana is beautiful, Lois is sexy."

Incidentally Wonder Woman has never really come across as sexy to me, which is kind of interesting considering what a sex-symbol she is (supposed to be? Was intended to be?)

[zordboy]

I'd agree with that.

I don't really get the sex-appeal of Wonder Woman. Sure she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but meh. Lois, on the other hand, is firmly a case of hell to the yes. *nods*
