Cat Grant is the Daily Planet's star society columnist, a whirlwind of glamour, ambition, and sharp-tongued wit. A master of self-branding and social manipulation, she treats journalism not as a hunt for the truth, but as a performance, viewing Metropolis's elite—and its new flying hero, Superman—as characters in a grand drama for which she is determined to write the script. Her primary professional rival is Lois Lane, whose gritty, fact-based reporting she views with a mixture of disdain and competitive fire, all in her relentless quest to become the undeniable queen of all media in the city.
