==History==
 
'''James Bartholomew Olsen''' was born to [[Jake Olsen|Jake]] and [[Sarah Olsen]] in [[Bakerline]], a borough of [[Metropolis]]. His father was in the military and was declared missing in Southeast Asia before Jimmy was born.
 
 
Jimmy was a very bright child, but sometime grew bored with his schoolwork. Sometimes he would cut classes to attend lectures at the [[University of Metropolis]]. He got a job as an intern at the [[Daily Planet]] while still a junior high school student.
 
 
When one of his friend's life was in jeopardy, Jimmy jury-rigged some spare electronic parts to produce a hypersonic sound and attract the attention of [[Superman]]. His plan was successful, and Superman arrived to save the day. The Man of Steel encouraged Jimmy to adapt his circuitry into a wristwratch and use it to contact him in emergencies. This became Jimmy's [[Signal Watch]], and Jimmy became "Superman's Pal".
 
 
Jimmy's success grew at the Planet, rising up from a gopher to becoming a photographer and occasional reporter.
