These Transformation Stories Will Make You Question Everything - A Jimmy Olsen Retrospective

I definitely loved the scads of Jimmy Olsen clones who worked at the DNA Project while Jack Kirby was writing and drawing his book.

The Daily Planet needs better health insurance. So much chaos could've been avoided if Jimmy didn't have to resort to the local mad scientist for free healthcare.

[@chrisbuttonshaw2088]

"AMERICA! F#$%# YA!"

[@KentuckyKaiju]

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. 😂

Except for artists like the ones that make Superman happen, those people make me wanna stop wishing a nuclear eradication of “Americans” (Usonian or United Statesmen would be less offensive for us, people in the rest of the CONTINENT).

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

[@richmcgee434]

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.

[@kingsadvisor18]

Perhaps extra arms is a recessive gene and the Lanes have some questionable heritage... I mean we've seen General Sam Lane but I can't off the top of my head picture Lucy & Lois' mother...

[@4thofEleven]

Jimmy Olsen's Genestealer Cult.

[@italucenaz]

the logic of thm having 12 arms is the same as superman's son being more powerful than him for being a hybrid, same happened to gohan in dbz, also, in real life the hybrid between lions and tigers have a mutation that makes them grow exessively, so there's that

[@GoTenDu]

Lucy was dumb.

OMG watching this made me realize how much I just want an office sitcom comic set in the Daily Planet with everyone just getting into shenanigans.

Needs that asshole Steve Lombard (the 70s version, anyway - he got marginally better later on, and was downright brave during that post-Crisis workplace shooting thing). Every office needs an asshole.

[@michel0dy]

YES! It could be named Superman's workplace: The Daily Planet. Superman shows up doing superhero stuff sometimes, but it mostly stays on the B-plots, while we see everything from the perspective of the Daily Planet employees.

Basically the Lower Decks or Teen Titans Go of Metropolis.

[@JKevinCarrier]

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". You can definitely see that here -- Jimmy never really learns his lesson or suffers any long-term consequences for his actions. If he did, he wouldn't be as fun!

My favorite part of Jimmy's relationship with Ilona was when Superman showed up and saw her harem and said something like, "Vala, you old space rat, what are *_YOU_* doing on Earth?"

[@NoNaame04]

Werewolf Jimmy is a personal favorite. Something about him just drinking random Egyptian potions, and promptly turning into a wolf man makes me laugh.

[@ravenwilder4099]

I love the story where Jimmy THINKS they've turned into a merman, but they're actually just the victim of an extremely elaborate Superman hoax.

[@COMICSAREAWESOME]

I have a fondness for the Elastic Lad transformation because the first time I saw it was in Alan Moore and Curt Swan's "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?"

[@yt_Ajay_]

The prevailing question of this episode: "Why.??" Superman conveniently having his hands tied whenever Jimmy needs saving is hilarious.

[@talk2myself315]

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.

[@crhu319]

The Beard Band needs to reappear. Maybe in Harley Quinn series.

Meanwhile, being Green Lantern's best friend only got poor Tom Kalmaku transformed into a bird for a brief time. Not even a super birdman or anything - just a bird.

It'd be more respectful than how BvS treated him. Shooting Jimmy in the head was apparently "having fun" with the character.

Jimmy’s misadventures are the perfect example of silver age shenanigans. Temporary super powers, transformations, and elaborate pranks and misunderstandings. Reminds me of some of the better live action Disney shows from the 2010s.

[@ericmiller93]

My favorite is Porcupine Jimmy because it looks like it took the least amount of effort to draw and I respect that. It’s like the artist was on a deadline or nursing a hangover so instead of a Lion Jimmy he just drew Jimmy with little lines all over him.

[@SuperSongbird21]

Well, bear in mind Jimmy could have been a lion in this story. And as Superman points out, at least he didn't turn into a skunk (though I'd totally read a story where Jimmy has skunk powers!)

Thank you for revisiting the weird transformations of Jimmy Olsen that I remember from the Silver Age. The length of the video was just right for me to enjoy as I ate the box lunch that Professor Potter packed for me. Now to wash it down with some soda… erk… umph. What the? Holy cow!

[@gdp3rd]

A real Silver Age extravaganza! Thanks, Sasha. My favorite was Elastic Lad, since he reappeared in Legion of Super Heroes stories. Although so many of them giving him serums makes me wonder ...

[@mongeeses7112]

I don’t think Superman considers Jimmy his best friend, but Jimmy definitely considers Superman his best friend or pal I guess.

[@Frogman1212]

Superman definitely considers Jimmy his best friend. In the same pseudo-diminutive way that Batman relates to Gordon and GL to Pie-face. But you could also say that Batman is Superman's best friend and Barry is Hal's.

[@crhu319]

Superman's best friend is actually Lana.

[@FiggityJones]

As a fan of both Jimmy and elasticity powers, I hope one day he just gets to keep them. Doesn’t even need to be a full time superhero, if he just uses them however he wants or to help with photography or something, that would be fun 🤭 Would also be fine with him just being a side superhero all on his own. Could use a better costume though maybe >.>

Plot twist, Jimmy did aerobics AND dressed in his habitual drag and got some Kryptonian powers and actually was the "Supergirl" that dies in Crisis.

I really appreciate Justice League: The Nail more after hearing of all these stories. The transformations would warp a persons mind.

[@goredongoredon]

When I was growing up, comics were a common way to keep us little kids busy while my family was "visiting" and Jimmy Olsen as the turtle man was one of the issues at my cousin's. I had forgotten about that until watching this video! Those DC comics from the 50s/60s were wacky and fun.

[@fotiskogias3764]

My favorite transformation was the initiation of Jimmy to the Legion of Superheroes, loved it. I honestly enjoyed the video and would love to see ones about jimmy’s powers and different clothing/costumes. Didn’t care one bit that it was a long video. Thanks for making these videos, love learning about characters and their stories.

Superman eye beams can't melt lead? It melts at 327.5 degrees celsius. A campfire has a temperature of 900 degrees celsius. Wouldn't this be the Nobel Prize for biology?

[@dupersuper1938]

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...

[@dennismason3740]

Peter is at the DMV. He hears a perfect (or nearly so) imitation of his own voice and he stretches his spider-sense across the room and he sees an orange head of hair bobbing in the line. Peter steps up to Jimmy. "Are we related?" one asks.

I just love the implication that Clark Kent spends his working hours sitting around thinking about how he's Superman.

Great video!

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.

[@uranuslad9855]

@Will N Yeah, but it's such a waste. Lucy and Jimmy were just dysfunctional, like Supes and Lois, but making her evil has been such a waste. i still remember when she was caught smuggling while a flight attendant in a Lois book, and I think that was the pivotal point for the character.

Loved this video, a longer form video from Casually Comics is always very welcome. I'd absolutely love to see a video about the many times Jimmy goes undercover in drag. Some of the stories seem to even lean in to the fact that cross dressing was completely unnecessary for his plans. They're also a lovely example of how potentially problematic stories from the past can be reclaimed and appreciated, on different levels, by queer people and other marginalised groups. A trans woman and two older drag performers I know have all told me that seeing these comics as a child and/or adult was both hilarious and inspirational, regardless of authorial intent. Much like Rupaul loving Bugs Bunny in drag as a child. Can't wait to see a possible future video about Jimmy getting powers and his various disguises.
