It's funny that, appropos of this thread, Lois and Cyclops were actually not bad as a couple. It subverts the trope of the hero's romantic rival being a jerk or otherwise unlikeable, but throughout the movie he's a pretty solid guy, and at one point even saving Superman himself. He's a little goofy and doesn't quite connect with Lois and Clark's kid, but it's not from lack of effort -- his heart is in the right place.
I'll let folks to debate if either Superman or Cyclops had more chemistry with Lois, but Cyclops followed through.
