For four years, Dean Cain flew through the skies of Metropolis with Teri Hatcher in his arms. And Teri Hatcher was in pain each time.

The former Superman recently reminisced to *Variety *on his time shooting the adventure comedy *Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman*, which ran from 1993-1997 on ABC. Cain says the series "changed my life insanely," and while *Lois & Clark *no doubt led to exciting career opportunities and regularly produced handsome paydays for its previously small-time star, it also left other lasting effects on its stars.

"There's no blood flow going to your legs. After hanging for hours, I would have to get a massage just to keep the blood moving from quadrant to quadrant," Cain recalled of the show's many scenes in which his Superman would swoop Hatcher's Lois Lane off her feet and fly, a stunt aided by unforgivingly rigid wires that would cut off Cain and Hatcher's circulation. "Teri would cry. She'd be in tears every single time we had to fly because it *hurt*."

The pain and discomfort stopped there for Hatcher, but Cain wasn't so lucky.

Reminiscing on his iconic super-suit, Cain said, "When they first brought it to me, it was this royal blue spandex bodysuit. We ended up putting in stirrups so that it stayed in place. And the boots were a whole lace-up thing at first."

The 58-year-old Michigan native recalled wearing the suit on an extraordinarily hot Los Angeles day. "You can't sweat," he shared. "If you sweat, it balls up. So I didn't. I'm a Japanese dude. I don't sweat that much. I'm not hairy at all. They didn't have to shave my chest or anything. But still..."**

Cain has periodically revisited his *Lois & Clark *days over the years, remarking just in May, "Overall, it was amazing. Incredible. What a way to start a career." Cain described his working relationship with Hatcher, which was at times beset by rumors of discord, as "sometimes the greatest thing in the world and sometimes a lot more difficult... We had great chemistry. There were times where it was just the easiest thing in the world."**

Cain and Hatcher went their separate ways after *Lois & Clark *aired its final episode in June 1997. Though they've haven't since shared the screen, they have both returned to the expanded *Superman *screen franchise on several occasions, twice on the same program.

The stars both appeared in guest roles on *Smallville*, the coming-of-age take on the kid from Krypton, and the CW's *Supergirl*, which follows Superman's similarly super-powered cousin.

Cain took on a guest role in *Smallville*'s seventh season as the immortal Dr. Curtis Knox, and appeared regularly between 2015 and 2017 on *Supergirl *as the titular heroine's foster dad, Jeremiah Danvers. Hatcher, meanwhile, played Ella Lane, the mother to her *Lois & Clark *character Lois Lane on seasons 4 and 10 of *Smallville*. On *Supergirl*, she played Queen Rhea, one of the most fearsome villains of the series' second season.**
