Lois Lane is an average gal trying to be a '90s superwoman. Clark Kent is a Superman trying to be an average guy. 

Kansas transplant Clark Kent (Dean Cain) lands a job at Metropolis' major newspaper, the Daily Planet. There seasoned editor Perry White (Lane Smith), teams him up with Lois Lane (Teri Hatcher), a headstrong reporter who resents being saddled with a neophyte like Clark and tries to shake him at every run. But all too eager to pick him up is Catherine "Cat" Grant (Tracy Scoggins), the Daily Planet's sultry society columnist. 

Accompanied by cub reporter and aspiring photographer Jimmy Olsen, (Michael Landes) Lois investigates the apparent sabotage of the nations latest space shuttle while also trying to land an exclusive interview with  Metropolis' most powerful citizen, mega-millionaire Lex Luthor (John Shea)

Concerned about Lois' continued infatuation with Luthor and convinced that the communications mogul is behind the shuttle disaster, Clark enlists the aid of his parents Jonathan and Martha Kent (Eddie Jones and K Callen), in creating a disguise that will allow him to use his powers without revealing his true identity.

But when Clark makes his debut as the Man of Steel, rescuing Lois from a near-fatal catastrophe, he meets his true nemesis: his own alter ego Superman, with whom Lois falls helplessly in love, creating one of the most memorable, ironic, bittersweet love triangles in film and television history
