A single full-color comic panel. An elderly gray-haired man (Clark) faces a dark-haired woman (Lois), shown from behind, in an emotional confession. Clark says, 'Lois, I want you to know that... I was Superman. So, you may have thought you were cheating on me, but, in my eyes, you were always faithful.' Lois replies, 'Oh Clark! Somehow I always knew...' They exchange 'I love you' / 'I love you too,' and there's a silent '...' beat. Then Lois casually asks, 'You were the Green Lantern, too, right?' Clark, alarmed: 'Huh?' Lois quickly backpedals: 'Nothing!' The joke: Lois has apparently slept with so many superheroes that she's trying to retroactively confirm they were all secretly Clark. In the black-and-white votey aftercomic, Lois, looking sheepish and guilty, presses further: 'You're positive you weren't Black Canary, too?' — naming yet another (female) superhero she may have been with.
