Lois Lane

Or independent investigative journalists like Tim Pool?

If you think about it how many rescues was Clark was going to pull off until people start pointing fingers? in the first season a crooked cop and a reporter were on to him. In Man Of Steel before he became Superman he used his powers in front of people when saving lives like from a oil rig explosion and Amy Adams' Lois Lane was also on to him after saving her in the Arctic, noticing a mystery savior saving people over the years what's all that about?. In a flashback in Superman & Lois young Clark wore a ski mask to stop some robbers.

Introducing the Blur storyline earlier perhaps would've given a better endgame for Lana Lang who many felt her romance was a three season love story that lasted seven season too long and more usage for Lois Lane who was like a possible new love interest where all romantic development was delayed for five seasons.
