The Scoop Troop is a news team comprised of the best reporters working at the Daily Planet. As a result, they are usually assigned by Perry White to the biggest stories that are happening in Metropolis.
History[]
After Superman made his debut in Metropolis, Perry White gave the headline on the subject to Cat Grant, Ronnie Troupe and Steve Lombard, despite Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane being the ones who broke the story.[1]
Subsequently, the Scoop Troop took over the Superman beat, taking the board of evidence. At Stryker's Island Penitentiary, Clark, Lois and Jimmy used the Scoop Troop's identities to gain access to the Warden's office.[2]
During Parasite's rampage, Metropolis shut off all its power to starve him. The Scoop Troop was among the Daily Planet staff cheering him on as he began to turn the tide of battle.[3]
At Thanksgiving, when Perry promoted Lois, Clark and Jimmy to full reporters, the Scoop Troop congratulated their younger peers.[4]
At Christmas, the Scoop Troop was asked to distract Clark Kent at Lois Lane's behest. To Cat's mortification, Ronnie accomplished this by asking Clark about his mother's pies.[5]
Following the defeat of Brainiac, the Scoop Troop attended a barbecue celebration on the Kent Farm in Smallville.[6]

Trivia[]
- The members of the Scoop Troop are typically peers of Lois Lane and Clark Kent, contrasting these versions being their seniors.
- As is made obvious in My Interview with Superman, the Scoop Troop is meant to be a parallel to the main trio of Lois (who is dramatic like Cat), Clark (quiet like Ronnie) and Jimmy (bombastic and outgoing like Steve).
