Lois Lane Friday: Lois Lane as Ultra Woman

I'm not a big fan of Lois Lane having powers simply because she doesn't need them to be a hero. She's already a hero as a world class investigative reporter for The Daily Planet. However there have been many times when she has gotten powers including Superman's such as in the Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman episode Ultrawoman.

In that episode, Superman's powers were accidentally transferred to Lois after two sisters Lucille and Nell Newtrich used a red kryptonite laser to change Superman's personality. They wanted to make it easier to for them to commit crimes by making Superman unmotivated to care about fighting crime. But due to red kryptonite's unpredictability it caused Lois to gain his powers instead.

She was going to need an immediate crash course on being a superhero because while Clark was without his powers, Lois was going to have to take over. Which she did as the super hero Ultra Woman and she even got a colorful costume (thanks to Martha Kent) to keep her identity a secret while she fought crime.

Lois is at her best when she is investigating and unveiling the truth as a reporter but I think she did a pretty good job as Ultra Woman. It also gave her a better understanding of how difficult it can be for Clark to be Superman because as a hero it's a job that includes a lot of responsibility and making tough decisions.
