Samuel "Sam" Lane〔''Adventures of Superman'' #593 (August 2001)〕 is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly in association with Superman. He is the father of Lois Lane and Lucy Lane, and the father-in-law of Clark Kent (Superman). Along with his wife Ella, he was introduced in ''Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane'' #13 (November 1959) as a horse farmer in the town of Pittsdale. Following ''Crisis on Infinite Earths,'' a rebooting of DC Universe continuity, Sam Lane has been portrayed as a US Army General. ==Fictional character biography== Following ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' Sam Lane was reinvented as a hard-bitten and outspoken US Army General, with an awkward relationship with his daughter. It was explained that Lane had wanted his eldest child to be a boy, so had treated Lois as a surrogate son, when he was present at all. This version first appeared in ''Adventures of Superman'' #424 (January 1987), the first retitled issue of the former ''Superman'' title. He became a more significant character following Lois' engagement to Clark Kent, being highly unimpressed with the mild-mannered reporter despite his obvious commitment to Lois. This almost, but not quite, extended to refusing to attend the wedding. When Lex Luthor became President of the United States, he made Lane Secretary of Defense. This inevitably led to Lois, as an investigative journalist trying to prove Luthor was crooked, opposing her father, especially during the buildup to the Imperiex War. During the War, General Lane was apparently killed by an Imperiex probe, when he detonated the nuclear engine of his tank to crack the shell of the probe and give Black Lightning the chance to get through its armour.〔''Action Comics'' #781 (September 2001)〕 In ''Action Comics'' #832 (December 2005), set at Halloween, Sam Lane's ghost appeared to Lois while she was trapped in a car, enabling them to talk through their unresolved issues. However, the last scene of the issue showed the "ghost" leaning against a wall and watching the sunrise, implying that General Lane might still be alive. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sam Lane (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
