HISTORY In the Golden Age comics, Lois was shown as having had a young niece named Susie Tompkins. Susie's main trait was telling Tall Tales to adults, and getting into various kinds of mischief. Susie's last appearance was in 1955 . While Lois' sister (and Susie's mother) was never shown in the Golden Age comics, after the advent of DC's Multiverse in the 1960s , later stories such as '' Action Comics '' #484 (from 1978 ) presented Lucy as having had an Earth-Two counterpart (a married woman named Lucille Tompkins), who was the mother of Susie. Lucy Lane was first introduced in ''Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen '' #36 in April 1959 . In the Silver Age stories, Lucy was presented as an airline Stewardess who was an on-again, off-again romantic interest of Jimmy Olsen. More so than her sister, Lucy carried a worldly, Cosmopolitan attitude about her. Lucy's Silver Age appearances often revolved around Jimmy's various attempts at romancing her. Lucy was reintroduced into current comics continuity in issue #5 of John Byrne 's 1986 miniseries '' Man Of Steel ''. Lucy was a flight attendant, but became affected by a mysterious blindness that was cured as a side-effect of the destruction of a Bizarro clone. Lucy returned to her job as a flight attendant and had a brief relationship with Jimmy Olsen . After many encounters with super-villains such as Deathstroke and Sleez, she eventually started dating African-American '' Daily Planet '' staff member Ron Troupe . When Lucy became pregnant, her conservative father was enraged (although Lucy explained "There's not a racist bone in Daddy's body. He hates ''all'' his daughters' beaus.") Sam Lane eventually overcame his anger when Lucy and Ron were married and their child was born. OTHER MEDIA Though a minor character in the Superman mythos, Lucy Lane has made several live action appearances in the various Superman projects. She was first seen in the 1984 movie '' Supergirl '' as Supergirl's friend and schoolmate. '' Fame '' actress Maureen Teefy portrayed her here as a peppy teen-ager. She also made three appearances on the television show '' Lois And Clark '', where she was portrayed by both Elizabeth Barondes and Roxanna Zal . In 2005, she showed up in '' Smallville '', played by Peyton List . EXTERNAL LINKS
