These escapades include facing off against villains like Parasite, Live Wire, and even a mad scientist gorilla.
According to Jake Wyatt, co-showrunner of My Adventures With Superman, Lois and Clark are approximately one year apart in age. Where Clark and Jimmy Olsen are slightly younger. Although the show hasn’t explicitly stated their ages, it’s inferred that they are in their early twenties, working as interns at the Daily Planet.
While comic lore often treats Lois as either around the same age as Clark or slightly older, the show’s portrayal aligns them closely. Despite the age difference, they share similar stages in life and career. The reasons for this age dynamic can vary, but Lois’s experience as a reporter often places her ahead of Clark in certain contexts.
