Superwoman (Lana Lang)

[Thor-Ul]

The answer is in the data page in the back of Steelworks #2.
From Lana’s perspective, an alternate universe Superman and Lois came to Prime Earth. Alternate Superman exploded in front of Lana and alternate Lois, giving them both powers. Alternate Lois, as Superwoman, then was blown by the Bizarress, leaving Lana the only powered Superwoman.

So basically, everything than happened in the book before but making the new52 version of the characters the alternates ones.

Yes. Basically none of the new52 Superman stories have to be part of history for the Rebirth Earth, but the New52 Superman and Lois did exist here just long enough to play the roles they had in the origins of Keenan and Lana.

As usual they want to have the cake and eat it too for DC Continuity

Would be nice to have some flashback scenes to have a more clearer picture of that.

DC clearing up continuity by actually showing a flashback? Is this the Bizarro forum?

We might see that in the next Steelworks issue.

But this is technically the new 52 earth so shouldn't the post crisis superman and Lois be the outsider not the actual new 52 Clark and Lois?

That was retcon after Rebirth when Myxplitz merged the Superman’s and Lois’s histories.

You probably won't be surprised to find you spelt that completely wrong. It's Mister Mxyzptlk (yes, I looked it up). Usually I just call him Mxy.

Not surprised, because I can never remember how to spell it.

[Will Evans]

So she’s powered up again. I didn’t see any reason not to assume so.

[Thor-Ul]

Now we just need a superpowered Lois Lane and the set is complete. S/

[Will Evans]

I just noticed the preview for next Superman issue has Lois’s narration still refer to Lana as Superwoman. So it looks like she kept her powers from the Steelworks miniseries and we’ll see her in action during House of Brainiac.

[Digifiend]

She regained them in Steelworks, yes, and the cure for the problem that was negatively affecting everyone's powers there was individually administered. The effects aren't negative for Lana, since all it did was restore her dormant powers instead of supercharging them beyond control, and she probably didn't want to rely on John Henry to protect her, so presumably she didn't take it.

Might be wrong but I think this is the first instance of Lana channelling her power through her eyes, although it's equally just as likely the artist assumed she had the standard Kryptonian powerset and gave her heat vision.
