Who is Jimmy Olsen?
James Bartholomew Olsen is a red-haired, freckle-faced, young friend of the DAILY PLANET (see Q19) staff. He started work at the PLANET as a gopher and has worked to earn respect from the staff. Jimmy endures the hardships of becoming an adult yet often bumbles. Due to his occasional association with Superman and the signal watch he once made, Jimmy has earned the nickname of “Superman’s Pal.” For several years, Jimmy worked as a photographer for the DAILY PLANET, and he also held odd jobs at times. For a while, he was a news reporter for WGBS television working for Cat Grant (see Q23) and earned the nickname “Mr. Action.” Jimmy later returned to his job at the DAILY PLANET.
