The big thing for Lois in the more innocent days of the Mort Weisenger era of the Superman family of books was her unrequited love for the Man of Steel. Lois loved Superman and Superman loved her but as long as she was a mere mortal woman and Superman was super, that love could never be.
Near the end of the 1960s and the formative years of the women's lib movement, women began to look beyond their relationship with men to define who they were. And Lois Lane matched that progression of thinking.
The storyline that began in Lois Lane#80 and continued in issue #81 was a fairly epic event, covering 45 pages. Yes, it does end with Lois realizing she still loves Superman so we're back to the status quo but it is a relatively remarkable journey of self discovery for Lois to reach that conclusion.

In this issue, Lois is captured and given an "emotional lobotomy" so she will no longer love Superman.
Lois could be a handful, even for a Man of Steel. Sometimes Superman needs help....

So that is that for Lois Lane Vs. Superman! What is the challenge for the next Lois Lane Versus?
Would you believe...death itself?
