Alex is Kara’s “Lois”
1. Clarks first save as Superman in Smallville is a plane that Lois happens to be on. In Superman Returns the first thing he saves is a plane with Lois on it. What’s the first thing Kara saves “the night I became Supergirl”?
2. Superman turns back time to save Lois. Kara in 2x19 sais “I can’t fly fast enough and turn back time” when talking about her fear of not being able to save Alex. Also, she flies back in time in s3 while hearing Alex’s words to her.
3. In Death of Superman Lois holds a dead Superman. On the show, both times Kara has come close to dying it’s Alex that is by her side.
4. This is a big one. Clark wipes Lois’s memory of him being Superman with a kiss. We’ve just had a major arc where Alex’s memory of Kara being Supergirl was wiped.
5. this one isn’t a parallel but Alex had the most significant introduction to Alura (played by a past Lois actress) plus Kara talked about Alex several times, expressing how important Alex is to her.
6. Alex is Kara’s heart, her main emotional support as Kara and Supergirl. They are partners in crime. The shows Lois and Clark are just that, we even get to see Lois fight side by side with Clark in Elseworlds.
7. Lois and Clark are a destined couple. Clark tells Kara in Elseworlds that no matter the universe Kara and Alex will always find a way to protect each other, evil Superman also mentions how destiny found a way to bring Earth-1 Alex to Kara despite the fact he had no idea who Alex was.
8. a tiny one here but in Lois and Clark Lois teases Clark about how he works for her. In 1x16 RedK!Kara accuses Alex of getting Kara to work for her at the DEO.
I could go on and on but this is long enough as it is.
