Jimmy Olsen is a photographer and reporter working for the Daily Planet in Metropolis alongside Clark Kent and Lois Lane underneath chief-editor Perry White.

History
James Bartholomew Olsen was born to Jake and Sarah Olsen. His mother ran a newsagent, and he would get up early and collect stories about Metropolis from the paper for a scrapbook.

Jimmy was a very bright child but sometimes grew bored with his schoolwork. Often, he would cut classes to attend lectures. He got a job as an intern at the Daily Planet while still a junior high school student.

After Clark Kent was hired at the Daily Planet, Jimmy met him, a reporter who promptly became his best friend.

Jimmy was the first person to take a photo of Superman. This is because Superman often moved so fast, no one would have time to take photos, however, Jimmy caught photos a couple of times. Later, Superman eventually went public.
