Aaron, I stand corrected! It just slipped my mind that yes, Lana Lang was Superboy’s love interest.

/agree with Aaron, Lana was also the main love focus of Superman 3 and she was played by Annette O’Toole, also known as Martha Kent in the Smallville world.

But you are correct that she is never shown to have powers of any kind in the comics…

“After all, we have not heard a Lana Lang mentioned in the DC comics until Smallville came along.”

Are you kidding? Lana has been a part of the Superman mythology since the earliest days of the Superboy comic. She was Clark’s early love, and in the comics, ended up married to Pete Ross for awhile. So, she is not a creation of the show. She’s been around for 58 years.

Chloe, on the other hand, is a new character.
