"The Moment Attraction Became Devotion"

Superman and Lois have been together for decades. While they didn't start out as lovers — though they both debuted in 1938's Action Comics #1 — they always had a romantic attraction to one another.

While the two were clearly attracted to one another, it's that Lois stands for truth and justice just as much as Superman does that finally pushed those feelings of just attraction over into outright love. Their love has remained the strongest in all of the DC Universe ever since.

But unlike every other relaunched character, the original Superman and Lois remained.

And it's that same impossible love that Superman needs to keep facing the incredible challenges in his life.
