" Smallville actress Erica Durance has cryptically claimed that her character will be responsible for leading Clark Kent to take up the iconic Superman mantle. Durance, who has played love interest Lois Lane on the show since 2004, made the comments during the Winter Television Critics Association meeting this weekend. &amp;quot;My character is very instrumental in propelling the mythology and bringing about, hopefully, seeing Superman do what everybody wants him to do,&amp;quot; Comics Continuum quotes Durance as saying. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s pretty much all I can say about it.&amp;quot; Lois started off in the series as a foil for Tom Welling&amp;#039;s Clark Kent, but since the show&amp;#039;s ninth season the pair have become romantically involved just as they are in the original comics. Smallville is currently airing its tenth and final season on The CW. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
