Susie Tompkins
Lois Lane's eight-year-old niece (Act No. 59, Apr 1943: "Cinderella -- a la Superman"; Act No. 68, Jan 1944: "Superman Meets Susie!"), a freckle-faced youngster with an overactive imagination who is forever making mischief by concocting tall tales (other appearances include S No. 40, May/Jun 1946: "The Mxyztplk - Susie Alliance"; S No. 95, Feb. 1955: "Susie's Enchanted Isle"). Her hair, which is sometimes red (Act No. 59, Apr 1943: “Cinderella--a la Superman!â€; and others) and sometimes brown (Act No. 68, Jan 1944: “Superman Meets Susie!â€; S No. 40/1, May/Jun 1946: “The Mxyztplk-Susie Alliance!â€), is usually worn in pig- tails (Act No. 68, Jan 1944: “Superman Meets Susie!â€; and others), although not always (Act No. 59, Apr 1943: “Cinderella -- a la Superman!â€).
Susie, whom Lois Lane once describes as “my sister’s little girl,†lives somewhere out in “the country†and occasionally comes to Metropolis to visit her Aunt Lois (Act No. 68, Jan 1944: “Superman Meets Susie!â€; and others). The name of Susie’s mother is never stated in the chronicles, but she is evidently married (Act No. 59, Apr 1943: “Cinderella- -a la Superman!â€) to a man named Tompkins (Act No. 98, Jul 1946: “Starring Susie!â€) and is therefore not to be identified with Lois Lane’s unmarried sister, Lucy Lane (S No. 147/1, Aug 1961: “The Great Mento!â€; and others).
