In the fifth story in the “Imaginary Tales” series in Lois Lane #26 (May 1961), Lana reveals to Superman she knows his secret identity. It turns out she is noble about this and wants him to erase her memory with his super-hypnotism. Surprisingly (to me), this causes Superman to suddenly fall madly in love with Lana and forget all about Lois, gives us this money shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we follow this romantic couple and a side-lined Lois Lane throughout their marriage. Superman has a solution to the problem of his enemies wanting to take revenge on his wife, by giving her a serum that permanently gives her super-powers. Alas, this serum will not work on Lois Lane, whose blood type is different \ud83d\ude42 But hey, we get a Lana-as-Superwoman shot too:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately (?) this makes Lana even more powerful than Superman who has that pesky allergy to kryptonite. More than once, Lana has to save Superman from that green-K, giving Superman an inferiority complex. And we’ve seen how badly a depressed Superman goes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Lana does the only thing she can do: Abandon her husband forever by leaving the planet. Perfectly logical!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
