Wait a second...let's zoom in here:
Mrs. Lois Superman?? Mrs. Lois Superman??OK, this was a 1962 story, so there wasn't much of a chance of her keeping the Lois Lane name.
But couldn't they come up with something better than Mrs. Lois Superman?
Mrs. Lois Kal-El...no, that's not quite right. Mrs. Lois-El? Nope...ummm...did anybody ever call Lara Mrs. Jor-El or something? Hmmm...
OK, help me out, Peanut Gallery: what would you call a super-powered Lois Lane who married Superman in 1962?
From as Lois Lane #36 (1962), as reprinted in Lois Lane #86 (1968)

Well, in 1962...
Hawkgirl was not called Mrs. Hawkman. The former Grace Kelly was not called Mrs. Grace Prince Rainier but Princess Grace. I think Superwoman or Super-Lois would have gone over well enough.
Going by the married example of Krytonian Van-Zee and Earthwoman Sylvia, they'd have been known in Kandor as Kal-El and Lois. Nothing more needed.
Surely she would have been Lois Kent????
I suppose it's possible the Kent name may still be used as a secret identity by Superman VI...
I just got a copy of Lois Lane #51 (I saw the cover somewhere and ordered it up...)
The cover has statues for Superman's three dead wives: Lois Superman, Lana Superman, and Lori Superman!
...and it is killing me trying to remember where I saw it previous to ordering it!!
Good find, MOCK!
