Lori Lemaris was a former girlfriend of Clark Kent. They went to the same school together and started to date. Lori is a mermaid but posed as a student in a wheelchair and she used a blanket to cover her bottom half. She had to be home at a certain time every night to soak her tail so she would always cut her and Clark's dates short. Clark ended up asking her to marry him but Lori said no. He became suspicious of her and followed her home one night where he discovered her secret. Lori told Clark the truth and told him that because of her telepathy power she knew he was Superman but would never tell and also because of their extreme differences that they could not wed. She now is in the Justice League of Atlantis.
