Warning: Spoilers for Superman & Lois season 3, episode 2
The cancer twist in Superman & Lois season 3 allowed the series to flip a famous moment from DC Comics. Following up on the premiere’s ominous tease regarding Lois’ medical situation, The CW series has confirmed the predicament facing the Kent family. Lois has been diagnosed with inflammatory stage 3 breast cancer.
Superman & Lois season 3, episode 2, titled “Uncontrollable Forces,” saw Lois cope with this devastating new reality. After spending the majority of the episode processing her diagnosis, Lois finally shared the news with her family, setting up a difficult road for the main characters to walk as the series moves forward. As it turns out, villains like Chad L. Coleman’s Bruno Mannheim and Michael Cudlitz’s Lex Luthor may not even be their biggest worry, nor will any other DC Comics villain hiding in the show. By all indications, it’s the threat of Lois’ cancer that will haunt them the most in Superman & Lois season 3.
