	So... That's Mxy's daughter huh? Man, Jimmy certainly attracts some weird ones doesn't he? (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	Or Mxy.... any appearance we've seen of him is a three dimensional cross-section of a five dimensional being, so "he" can appear however he wants. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

Y'know, I'm getting sick of Jimmy being portrayed as this pathetic guy whose only personality trait of any kind is being Superman's pal. I mean, Jimmy has been through a lot. He may be young and awkward, but he's an experienced photographer who took the famous photos of Superman's 'death', he's turned into things like the Giant Turtle Boy in continuity at this point, he's been on TV, he's teamed up with characters like Robin once or twice - hell, Pre-Crisis there used to be Jimmy Olsen fanclubs! If you were to hang out with him, he'd have a lot more to say than just blab on about how Superman rescued him for the 657th time right here...

I don't know, the story seems pretty Team Jimmy so far. I mean he did just stop an Alien Invasion and saved the world in a way only Jimmy Olsen could. Being auctioned off to an entire room full of eligible young Bachelorettes is a bit awkward, so it's okay to be nervous, even for a Jimmy Olsen.
True, a lot of comic fans who just don't get the character think he's lame, but I think the meta-point of the story is to prove that this is a misconception. I mean, that's basically the whole set up.
You think Jimmy's boring? He's Jimmy f#$%ing Olsen and he don't care what you think.

	Hey, give the guy a break. This isn't something easy-peasy like fighting Scottish robots trying to liberate their brother ATMs or dodging bug-eyed aliens trying to steal humanity's collective hair.

Thing is, a lot of the time the kids of DC supervillains (although Myx is more a nuisance than a villain usually) aren't necessarily villains themselves. Jimmy's been around the superhero community enough that he'd be aware of the trend.

Besides, given what he's already been through, what could Maggie do that'd be worse? I think they'd be awesome together.

	Its not Maggie he's worried about, its her dad. You really think that Mxy would stand for his daughter dating a mere 3 dimensional entity? And the second banana to his arch enemy even? Of course, it may be even worse if he DID approve of the relationship. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

OMG MAYBE JIMMY IS PART MARTIAN AND HAS LOW-LEVEL SHAPE-SHIFTING ABILITIES! And that is why his age is never consistent...

Or maybe he's like thirty, but is one of those people who's going to keep on getting carded at bars until they're at least forty. I mean, I'm going to turn twenty-three in a few months, and I seem to recall still being mistaken for sixteen to eighteen a couple of times that I know of in the last year or two. Then again, I've also been mistaken for a native of other regions or countries numerous times, so maybe the people I meet are just bad at figuring those things out with any sort of reliability.
