History[]

Early Life[]

Personality[]

Samuel Lane was a very strict father, and according to Lois, he never liked anyone he dated. He would test their true relationship by torturing Lois' boyfriends and see if his daughter would defend them. After seeing her do this with Clark, Sam gave his approval of their relationship. He was also courteous to Martha and Jonathan Kent, as seen when he thanked them for inviting him to dinner and watching out for Lois.

It is heavily implied Sam is aware his son-in-law is the Blur, and later, Superman. He sometime gives advice to him, as seen when he lectured Clark about not letting his emotions take control after seeing him attack Lionel Luthor in a fit of rage.
