Superman LOSES Lois Lane To Rival KRYPTONIAN!

[@sertorrhenclegane]

In all fairness to the book, there's a separation between the words "girl" and "friend", implying some friend zoning.

[@ajhurtado9808]

Was that a pun?

[@ianfinrir8724]

"Girlfriend" in the sense that she's a friend who's a girl.

[@twincast2005]

​@ianfinrir8724 Yep. The series coincidentally ran roughly from when "boy friend" and "girl friend" started to narrow down from "male friend" and "female friend" ("friend" like its counterparts in other languages then covering both the platonic and the romantic) to "male/female friend you go on dates with" (with no expectation of exclusivity - cf. Archie, Betty, and Veronica - unless you're "going steady", in which case the "steady (boy/girl friend)" was marked as off the market by some wearable token of your affection; important to remember, though, that girls "putting out" was only socially acceptable among silent/boomer youth if they were going steady, and that parents demanding they wait until (mid teens) marriage were thus more suspicious of the steadies than of all the casual dates with random boys, but I digress) until when they started to narrow down further to the sense previously called "steady".

[@MDMoore6]

I imagine the editorial meetings for the Lois Lane comic were much like “Where should we go with this?” *silence* “We could have her get married again?” “BRILLIANT!”

Here's another Super-marriage trope for you to explore, Sasha -- the marriages of Jimmy Olsen. There have been at least two, to my knowledge: Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #57, where he marries Supergirl (sadly, an imaginary story), and issue #100, where he actually marries his longtime girlfriend Lucy Lane, Lois's sister. That story also relates other near-misses at the alter for the Olsen-meister, so check them out.

Just when you think these "Lois Getting Married" stories couldn't get any more insane, they just do...

[@GenerationWest]

First off, Dar-Nell, that's... a name, and overall, he was just a controlling creep, but yet never did anyyhing too awful, yet died lika villain anyway. Someone had half a idea, and never finished the rest. (That Abby reference got a pop from me, love that muscle queen.)

[@suntanironman]

I don’t know what’s wrong with the name. That’s a perfectly acceptable, normal name. Or was that the criticism? Too normal?

[@kstormgeistgem461]

now for me, the name kind of sounded like a hick name... like something somebody would name their kid if the kid was Also a nephew as well as a son. you know what i mean? like something where, at the wedding, there were dueling banjoes.

[@ProjektTaku]

for a kryptonian name its pretty normal.

[@tinymxnticore]

You’re right about this one having weird energy. I normally enjoy Silver Age Supe being an ass, but here he was straight-up cruel. Lois normally has spunk even at her most Superman-obsessed; here she just seems broken.

"He's so handsome" Why am I not surprised Lois.

If you'd told me a year ago that one of my now favourite KZbin series would be about Lois Lane getting married I'd have been a tad sceptical.

This may tie into the Brazilian Wonder Woman storyline. 3. People are excited to know about Brazilian Amazon Tribe and mythos. Amazons of Amazonia, First appeared In Superman Vol 1 #59, lived in the Venezuelan jungle, were encountered by Lois Lane and Superman. Amazons of Amazon, the Lost tribe of Amazons, then appeared in Wonder Woman #314, they are ruled by Queen Atalanta. Queen Atalanta appears in #317.

Well that was kind of a mess. Even if the kryponite hadn't reacted with the gas wouldn't having it that close have killed Darnel eventually anyway? And if Superman can just break the time barrier couldn't he go back in time and save Darnel from being an idiot?

[@lazykitten12]

If Sups really wanted Lois to be happy he could have gone back in time stopped Dar-Nel from dying and them told Dar-nel how to use his powers to travel to the future, but then he would have to admit he does not deserve her.

[@matti.8465]

I love how they don't (intentionally) give us any reason to dislike Dar-Nell, we're supposed to see his marriage to Lois as a bad thing only because it's bad for Superman (who showed no redeemable qualities whatsoever)

[@davidmcmahon4633]

Too bad Darh-Nell didn't know about Gold Kryptonite. But if he had, all he would have to offer Lois in that case is just being a Handsome powerless doctor with super-advanced skills. That's assuming he wasn't foolish enough to open the lead case while in the Arctic and freezing to death trying to get back to her. You should also do a series of Supergirl's love interests who died at the end of the story as well. That was at the end of her 70s run when they tried everything to keep sales up, including turning her comic into a super romance series.

[@anionhero]

I used to watch the Superman TV series starring George Reeves back when I was a kid. I was always amazed at how much trouble she got into. Now hearing these stories, I can see why she got into trouble on the tv series. What I don't understand is How was she reporter!?! Dar-Nell had medical break throughs that she could have published award winning stories about. Nope. Just going to go into the future with him and be his bride, because Super-Man is a self-centered jerk. Sigh. Okay Lois. Have fun. smh.

I think this was your best vid yet! Really enjoyed it. And Superman....Lois needs to get a restraining order. Why can't you find the writer? I think it is because the writer was projecting and didn't want to be discovered. Clearly, they "loved" someone, strung them along for years, manipulated them, controlled them. When that person finally broke free (or in Lois's case, for the 11th thousand time broke free), they (the writer) murdered their rival. They are now living in a secluded location with their Lois - in a shrine room.

Instead of saying Krypton would explode, Jor-El should have led with, "You'll all get super powers on Earth."

So... Darnell's dad invented a time-space transport machine to get him off of Krypton. Why did they need the suspended animation?!

Though I will add one thing that they got right, when Lois assumed that the small town grapevine was talking about her visiting her folks and that's how he knew her name? It really does work like that in small towns.

The actual story was, shall we say, just as condescending to Lois' character as many others in this series...but the art style itself seemed significantly more "modern", even somewhat darker in tone and staging, as future artwork in later in that period would be. It actually reminded me of work seen later during the Mod Wonder Woman era. Now if only Lois would finally learn to choose wisely.

[@christopherproietti645]

Superboy #158, also from 1969, had a similar storyline where Lara and Jor-El survived the destruction of Krypton by being put into suspended animation by means too convoluted to mention here! again, that damn green kryptonite radiation just spoils ALL the fun! and this was definitely the era where it seemed every Superman-related title in the DCU featured some new Kryptonian survivor(s) every issue.
