Origins:
 
Lucy, like her big sister Lois, grew up an army brat under their father, Sam Lane. Lois was always more of a daredevil and a troublemaker, however. Owing to her being the younger child, Lucy was sometimes more spoiled by her strict father (or at least, he was more inclined to get over her failings).
When she was grown up, Lucy moved to Metropolis and dated many of the boys in Lois's circle of friends, eventually coming to see this as failed attempts to live her life through her more successful sister. Lucy left Metropolis and Superman's immediate circle of friends for many years. During this time, she did not respond well to her father's death in the Imperiex war. Trying to honour his memory, she joined the military.
Lucy became bitter and angrier than blaming Lois for General Sam Lane's death during the war against Imperiex. Essentially, believing Lois broke his heart by putting her love for Superman before her duties as a daughter. Unbeknown to her, General Lane was still alive, and working with the government on projects designed to deal with Kryptonians on Earth. Lucy and her father worked together on a project that resulted in Lucy Lane gaining super powers, wearing a super suit that was a magical creation of Mirabai of the Forlorn. The suit duplicated the abilities of a Kryptonian but protected her from Kyptonite poisoning.
