I mentioned earlier I was pretty much writing her as Lois Lane and I meant it; she's kinda exactly what I pictured Lois would be like if Superman never came into the picture. In fact, writing this sequence really made me appreciate how likeable Lois is.
Lois has always been consistently written in the comics (well, other than the Silver Age) as being incredibly career-driven and focused on making a difference in the world through journalism. The next page of Blues shows that Margret isn't really interested in dating anyone seriously and wants to focus on her career, and that's always been the way Lois has been handled. While she flirted with Superman constantly, it was almost six decades of comics before she was willing to actually settle down and marry the big guy, and a few decades more before she agreed to have a kid (for the record, I've read the comics with Clark and Lois's son Jon and he's friggin' adorable).
But despite being extremely ambitious and cynical, Lois was also always written to be a compassionate and socially-conscious person. Her focus on journalism has always been geared toward exposing corruption and lies and attempting to make life better for people who don't have a voice. That's why despite not being interested in dating she eventually fell for Superman. It wasn't just "Hey, he's Superman, he's awesome," it was the fact that he was pure-hearted, intelligent, and determined on a level she genuinely didn't believe could exist when she first met him. I got the impression that if Superman had never come along she'd have had a perfectly happy life just being single and being awesome at standing up for the little guy in between her bi-weekly kidnappings.
Lois, only got involved with Superman because he had intelligence, compassion, and integrity. While he has other virtues, Marvelous Man is too self-involved to really embody those other traits to any great degree, and as such he couldn't woo Margret. I dunno, this has kinda been an odd way of summing this up, but Marvelous Man was written to subvert a lot of comic tropes I tend to see a lot, and one of the more annoying ones is not giving the main character and love interest any chemistry. Just putting one in the scenario where they save the other a lot (this happens a LOT in film adaptations). Lois and Clark were always the gold standard to me for superhero romances, which owes a lot to Lois being such a well-written, multi-dimensional character. Making an expy of her was a lot more fun than I was expecting, to the point that I might need her to show up in the future.

Oh, speaking of the future, if you can't tell where this is going... uh.... strap in.
