Superman and Supergirl
At some point in the early 2000s, Clark Kent became a journalist for the Daily Planet. During his first day on the job, he rushed out of a staff meeting to rescue Lois Lane from a news helicopter crash.[1] At some point after this, James Olsen took the first photograph of Superman.[2]
In May 2009, Cat Grant travelled to Midvale, after gaining approval from Perry White, to investigate rumours of a super-powered individual operating in the town.[3]
