To be fair, most insurance plans don’t cover experimental treatments (or if they will, it requires a lot of arm twisting and legal wrangling) so he’s somehow paying for this out of pocket. Either that or Jimmy is *way* too good at navigating the bureaucracy. Or he’s visiting a lot of back alley shady mad scientists that probably pay him in small dollar gift cards. 😂

Lucy: “Our children might have TWELVE ARMS!” Well, genetically speaking, it might be more likely that they’d have four arms, and then maybe their grandchildren would just be completely normal, unless there are other factors involved, and I’ve just realized that I’m way overthinking this

Even that assumes that the space fruit altered his DNA right down to his sperm cells, rather than it just inducing a radically different phenotypical expression of his normal genetic structure. I could imagine an alien ecosystem where adaptive expressions like that could be externally induced by ingesting a chemical trigger of some kind, although where he got the extra body mass to grow new limbs overnight is...oh, right. Overthinking it. Regardless, Lucy is dumb and failed high school bio.

I got to see Mark Waid speak at a convention panel once, and he summed up Jimmy this way: "Jimmy Olsen has all of Superman's adventures, but none of Superman's responsibilities".

I absolutely loved this video, Sasha! It helped me get through a very difficult hospital shift tonight. Thank you! There are so many transformation stories that I love that weren't included. Radioactive Jimmy, Invisible Jimmy, Super Spy Jimmy, Superboy Jimmy, Invulnerable Jimmy, Congorilla Jimmy, Speedster Jimmy, Jungle Boy Jimmy, Robo-Exo Suit Jimmy, Blob Jimmy, Beatle Jimmy, Explosive Jimmy, Super-Swordsman Jimmy, Thor's Sidekick Jimmy... My favorite though is actually from Jimmy Olsen #23, though, with Bearded Jimmy. Yes, seriously, Jimmy having a beard was treated like a full-on transformation. He was given a beard by a group of nefarious bearded scientists called the "Beard Band" who sought to legitimize beard fashion in Metropolis by giving Jimmy hormones to grow one and this publicize it for the public to see. When that fails due to Jimmy's clumsiness, they then plan to dump their hormones in the Metropolis water supply. It ends with Superman giving them chemicals that make their hair fall out. It is a bizarre and hilarious issue. The Beard Band almost feels like villains from Freakazoid, the Tick or Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol (Beard Band vs. Beard Hunter, perhaps?). You should definitely check it out, it's a wild ride. Edit: Also, I always hated Superman in the human octopus issue. He deserved everytime Jimmy accidentally exposed him to kryptonite.

I like the latter day Jimmy transformations, like when Kirby took over the book (he specifically chose this title when he moved to DC because it was about to be cancelled otherwise so he could take it without putting another writer out of a job). He'd never read it so asked around about it when he was about to start and was told "I guess people like when he turns into stuff", so he added one or two transformations/Cadmus clones amidst his Fourth World set up stuff, just to give old school Jimmy fans what they liked. Then in the late 80s - as mentioned - when the whole Elastic Lad thing became a legitimate long running plot point tied to the Eradicator. Then in the early 90s he got a job dressing up as "Turtle Boy" after Sam Foswell fired him. Then in the imaginary silver-agey timeline that Dominous trapped Superman in. Then in All Star Superman... "Humility doesn't get you your own building, Jimmy." Words to live by...

Great video! I almost skipped it, thinking this was several previously published Jimmy/transformation reviews edited together, so I was pleasantly surprised to discover it's actually all new material. And the longer format works for me, by the way. Some might prefer a 2-part review, with the segments closer in length to the usual format, but I loved getting the in-depth look in a single piece. This is connected to the previous articles on Jimmy Olsen shenanigans anyway, so who knew there was so much material to explore? Not me, but I'm looking forward to more!

It was just FUN and I feel as if FUN is what is missing a lot in our comics these days, save for Dark Knights Death Metal and The War of The Realms. Those two crossovers are a blast and so much fun to read. The Golden Age was also fun. Not like the Silver Age, but still a lot of escapism to be found in the Golden Age.

I didn’t realize Tempus was a character before Lois and Clark. It would be interesting to see how the comics and show version compare.

The clip of Chuck from BCS is even better when I remembered he played Perry White on Smallville!

The doctor: Olson again? Eh, he’ll probably be fine, just give it a day or two.

This definitely deserves a Bronze Age sequel where Jimmy got buff and became known as Mr. Action and had a new girlfriend named Meg. Lucy had problems of her own when she became expose to fumes in the Amazon (I think) that aged her into an old crone. In those days, I read every Superman title in circulation (though not every issue of every title).

This was a fun silly little venture into Jimmy Olsen shenanigans. Great work!

This was so funny. So much Jimmy transforms stories to go around.

it's probably just me...but Jimmy Olsen reminds me of Archie. both ginger-redhead, freckled, Dobie Gillis-level infatuations. the transformations are next level tho. and I'm here for Giant Turtle Jimmy. not only was it a strong look, but Jimmy turned into a funny simpleton.

For some reason, I didn't realize that Elastic Lad predated the Elongated Man. I thought he took Gingold like Ralph Dibney to become Elastic Lad. I loved that DC Comics Presents issue with Superman and the Elastic Four! Lots of fun.

LONG LIVE MR. ACTION! My favorite transformation was when he became Aladdin and Spartacus, even though they were elaborate hallucinations Jimmy got from some weird jewel, which nearly drove him insane. These stories were toward the end of Jimmy's book.

So your outro proves that the greatest Jimmy transformation was DC trying to make him a cash cow.

Superman's Pal: Jimmy Olsen is less about Jimmy and Superman's friendship and more about how Superman and Professor Potter use Jimmy for target practice or as a gunnie pig for mad science experiments.

Jimmy made the right call with Ilona, being in a harem is not cool. And let's pour one out for the planet of frozen Jimmys.
