| Synopsis
| - 7.8894E8
- When reports that the river Styx may actually run deep underneath Metropolis, Perry White sends Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen to investigate. When Clark accidentally falls in, and a stalactite falls on his head without any harm, Jimmy is convinced that the water really is from the river Styx and that it can grant those with invulnerability, and jumps in himself. Since Clark Kent is really Superman, he was already invulnerable, and because the water probably has no real effect on people, Clark has to secretly use his super-powers to convince Jimmy that he's invulnerable in order to preserve his secret identity. He later caves in the cavern as Superman to prevent anyone else from venturing below.
Jimmy decides to put on garish costumes and parade around and put his "invulnerability" to the test. Hoping that Jimmy will not be harmed, Superman secretly insures that no harm comes to Jimmy. When Jimmy takes on a bolt of lightning , Jimmy's first costume gets wet and the colors run.
After getting a new costume, Jimmy goes off a waterfall in a barrel, after Superman secretly saves him from harm, Jimmy finds the water has shrunk his costume. Taming a lion in a new costume, Jimmy is unaware that the lion had it's teeth and claws blunted by Superman, although the beast didn't harm Jimmy, it still managed to tear his costume.
With no budget left for a new costume, Jimmy stands before a rocket that is being prepared for launch. When the atomic fuel begins to violently explode, Jimmy refuses to flee the scene. Watching the situation from a television at the Daily Planet as Clark Kent, Superman decides not to act. This is because he recalled that when they were in the cave earlier, a bat was seemingly immune to his torch. Realizing that he river truly gave people invulnerability, he decided to leave Jimmy to brave the explosion. Not surprisingly, Jimmy survives the ordeal and returns to the Daily Planet.
There he is pained by a tack in his shoe, and realizes that the effects were only temporary.
- After being reamed out by Perry White due to his poor writing skills, Jimmy is annoyed at being treated as a Cub reporter, figuring that he's writing is as good as anybody else. He then gets a call from the Clarion newspaper, who tells Jimmy that they want him to be their new owner and editor. Jimmy then egotistically gets himself fired from the Daily Planet by being rude to Perry White before telling Perry that he's going to work for the Clarion, and vows he will put the Daily Planet out of business.
To everyone's shock, Jimmy begins reporting stories and writing editorials that reflect Superman in a negative light, and appearing to be in glorifying the criminals which Superman brings to justice. When Lois Lane goes to visit Jimmy and see what the problem is, she finds that Jimmy is only reporting in such a way to boost his circulation and doesn't seem to care about any sort of journalistic objectivity. Eventually, the Clarion gets the reputation of being an "underworld" newspaper, and Jimmy "befriends" some former criminals who convince them that they have reformed.
When covering a story of a character named the "Ghost" who is a master safe cracker and escape artists, the criminals kidnap Jimmy, the Ghost, and Lois Lane and force the Ghost to crack a safe full of loot they intend on stealing. The Ghost complies, however he reveals himself to really be Superman in disguise, who easily rounds up the crooks.
Later, it's revealed that Jimmy was perpetuating a hoax with the help of Superman and Perry to capture the crooks, and soon turns over control of the Clarion to it's rightful heirs and takes his old job back at the Planet.
