Lana Lang is a prominent supporting character in DC Comics, primarily associated with Superman. She's typically depicted as Clark Kent's childhood friend and first romantic interest in Smallville. Often, she is portrayed as the girl next door, intelligent and kind.

In many iterations of the Superman mythos, Lana possesses a strong connection to Krypton. This connection can manifest in various ways, ranging from discovering Kryptonian artifacts to acquiring superpowers herself. Notably, she has been known to wield the Insect Queen powers in some storylines, granting her insect-based abilities.

While primarily a romantic interest during Clark's youth, Lana's role has evolved over the years. She has appeared as a businesswoman, journalist, and even a superhero in her own right. Her importance lies in her enduring connection to Clark's past and her ability to challenge and support him throughout his life, serving as a constant reminder of his Smallville roots.
