warning! This article contains spoilers The Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #1Lois Lane and Clark Kent have always been different types of heroes – one is a brave reporter who toppled crime bosses and tyrants with insightful reports, while the other is the real Superman , who smashed giant robots and fought against monsters. However, DC’s multiverse is infinite, and in some worlds, Lois Lane is superhuman. In fact, one of those worlds is Earth-2, where Lois Lane is the red tornado. Now, a superpowered Lois has appeared in DC’s main reality, where she recruits her “son” Jon on a deadly mission.
exist The Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #1, Red Tornado and Superman of Earth 2 arrive to recruit Jon Kent to fight Ultraman – an evil version of his father who travels between realities and kills all versions of Clark Kent.

While normal Lois Lane is human and never fully understood how close her son and husband are to humans, Superman admits that Jon’s connection to Earth is more real. . he used to.exist The Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #1 Directed by Tom Taylor, Clayton Henry, Jodi Bel Air, and Wes Abbott, Earth-2’s progenitor Lois is about as powerful as Earth’s Kryptonians, which means Jon could be traveling with a The mother understands him better than her own biological mother.
Lois Lane is a red tornado
Earth-2’s Lois Lane comes from a similar background to the human Lois, but when she died in an alien invasion, her mind was implanted in Red Tornado’s cyborg body. She now has superhuman strength, the ability to create and control tornadoes, and the ability to fly. With powers and abilities different from Iron Man, Earth-2’s Lois may have a similar history to Jon Kent’s Lois, but she plays a very different character than Red Tornado. As a member of the Wonders of the World (Earth 2 version of the Justice League), Red Tornado is used to fighting Earth’s threats on the front lines.
Red Tornado is Jon’s ideal mentor
Earth-2’s Red Tornado was Val-Zod’s mentor when he transitioned to Superman, and as Lois Lane, she also helped raise Power Girl. She can be a great mentor to Jon in a way no one else can. Red Tornado knows what it’s like to have extreme power and the responsibility that comes with it, while remaining the woman Jon has known since birth.
The red vortex is the human mind inside the robot. This not-so-human trait allows this Lois to share Superman’s lament that he will never be fully accepted by humanity. This idea is portrayed when Jon’s mother screams to a red whirlwind that she cannot bring her son to face Ultraman, the villain who has imprisoned Jon for many years. Lois reacts to Red Tornado as if she were an indifferent cyborg, but the robot responds by saying, “I didn’t always… this. I lost my life. I lost my Kal-El. I lost my Clark,” Proof that she is still human at heart. Jon is half-human and doesn’t feel replaced like his father, but having a mother he can relate to, as someone separate from humanity, can bring new depth to his character. .
Whether Jon Kent will accept this almost familiar presence in his life or reject her, remains to be seen. He may have heard stories of the Red Tornadoes being used to attack the Justice League, or the poor show that nearly caused Young Justice to be destroyed, and decided to keep his distance from Lois Lane. Or, he might see this as an opportunity to learn from a unique mentor about his complicated relationship with Superman’s legacy.
