It was the greatest secret in the world to be related to someone the world saw as a combination of Gandhi and Hercules. Lois felt a moment of pity for her daughter. It was the one secret she’d never be able to share with anyone, other than possibly a spouse.
Wonder if Lois remembers that for herself, when the time comes. On the other hand we have this passage:
The Foundation was by this point the third largest charitable Foundation in the United States, and it was growing fast.
A cynical mind might wonder about the sort of power that gave Clark Kent, but if Clark was really out for power and influence, he’d be standing beside Superman for the ribbon cutting.
Clark seemed to avoid opportunities for personal aggrandizement. Even now, as the cameras flashed, he was nowhere to be seen.
Lois might be that cynical mind after all, when she discovers the obvious reason for Clark's shyness during Superman appearances. It would definitely make for new kind of revelation angst - Lois not being mad but distrusting.
