Steven Lombard

Steve Lombard is the sports editor for the Daily Planet. A former pro football player, he often has clashes in personality with his more timid coworkers, like Clark Kent and Ron Troupe.

History
Steve Lombard quit college when he was 20 to accept a position for the Metropolis Metros football team. When his knees were shattered in a car accident, he returned to college and got a degree in journalism, which he used.

Having left WGBS some time ago, Steve is now the sports editor for the Daily Planet in Metropolis. Lombard is known for his overbearing machismo and his tendency to belittle those whom he deems to be inferior to him. He particularly enjoys taunting ace reporter Clark Kent and has been known to admonish the editorials of fellow reporter Ron Troupe.

He's well known as a boorish jerk with a very self-centered attitude, although this is often played for comedy. His many pranks around the office frequently target Kent, although he considers Clark one of his closest friends. Troupe frequently clashes with him most directly on a personal level, leading towards an antagonistic relationship. In addition, his alpha-male mindset causes him to make many unwelcome advances against his female co-workers.
