He is quite selfish; as never takes responsibility or even admit to his own mistakes, always trying to shift the blame on others, he is incapable of showing gratitude, even towards people who had saved his life, viewing their actions as only a most or for their own selfish reasons. His elitist views even show their nature when it comes to his parenting, regularly outright noting his disapproval of would-be suitors to his daughters that do not meet his overly-high standards. It can be assumed that he does not have a good relationship with his daughter Lois, due to the fact that he interferes in her relationship with men, and mainly because of his immoral traits; as he has an anti-view on aliens in general. Sam has a strong hatred for aliens, for no apparent reason; simply because they are different, regardless whether or not they are a threat to the human race, he even dislikes anyone who associates themselves with aliens for no apparent reason, like James Olsen; due to the latter being close friends with Superman.

Arriving in National City
General Sam Lane comes to National City, as he wants "Hank Henshaw" to transfer Supergirl to his unit. However, Hank cannot, as she does not technically work for the D.E.O. Then, he demanded that Supergirl fight their field robot Red Tornado. Supergirl won the battle, breaking off the android's arm with her freezing breath, and causing damage in his system. As Red Tornado flew, Dr. Morrow said his robot activated the self emergency protocol so General Lane fired Morrow because he did not cope with the task.
Acting director of the D.E.O.
When "Hank Henshaw" was captured by Astra and Non's army, General Lane return to National City to temporarily perform his duties as director of the D.E.O.; he tortured Astra by injecting her with liquid Kryptonite to know the location of their base, but she told them a false position, which turned out to be a trap. Then Supergirl decides to make an exchange of prisoners; despite the fact that the general was against it, he was forced to retreat as Kara stood her ground. After his return, "Henshaw" told General Lane that his presence in D.E.O. is no longer required, and General Lane and his team leaves.
Myriad
When National City was put under the influence of Myriad, Supergirl contacted General Lane and asked him not to let anyone enter the city as she didn't understand what was happening. Later he calls her back saying that he had done his duty and asks her to fulfill hers. Later, Lucy asks his father to release J'onn J'onzz, but the general refuses to do so.
Housing Daxamite technology
General Lane aided in the safekeeping of a Daxamite ship following their invasion. However, after it was hijacked by Robert DuBois, J'onn J'onzz called Lane and gave him a stern talking to, threatening to have his stars stripped from him.
