“Lois Sen-Ra?” Lois wondered aloud.
Strange name? [Eek!]
In the comics, Superman's cousin Kara was called Kara Zor-El (her father was Zor-El, Jor-El's brother.) The way I figure it, the males go by a first name and family name, the females go by a first name, father's name and family name. Therefore Lois, upon adoption, is now Lois daughter of Sen-Ra. Sen-Ra is Zara's late father. (At least in my telling.)
