Steve Lombard src

Steve Lombard was a former NFL quarterback turned sportscaster for the Galaxy Broadcasting System and often worked alongside famed news anchors, Clark Kent and Lana Lang.

A happy-go-lucky individual, Steve often referred to Clark Kent by the unflattering nickname "Clarkie", and took great pleasure in taking advantage of Clark's presumed clumsiness. Occasionally, Clark would avenge himself against Steve's pranks with a well-placed blast of heat-vision. Lombard was eventually fired by Galaxy CEO Morgan Edge[7] and subsequently started up a used car dealership.[3] After the car dealership idea fizzled out, Steve managed to be cast for the lead in a revival of Damn Yankees[8], which closed after one night due to Steve's poor performance.[9]

Steve Lombard's aunt (his mother's sister) is the mystery novelist Kaye Daye.
