When we last left our heroes, the charity wrestling match between Jimmy Olsen and Superman was just about to begin. Fueled by the Professor's formula, Jimmy wastes no time and twists Superman's arm, throwing him to the ground. Pouncing on the prone protector of Metropolis (sorry), Jimmy administers an ankle lock that has Superman pounding holes in the ring floor and begging for mercy.
Later, in the locker room, Jimmy spies a pair of gangster types trying to persuade a wrestler to take a dive in his next match. The muscles that--mere moments before--had beaten Superman into submission pounce into action and cries his battle cry: "I'll throw you rats out on your ears!" I guess that was how tough guys talked back then. I'm not really sure.
Perhaps surprisingly, the gangsters recognize Jimmy as the red headed demon who had just defeated the Man of Steel. "Ulp," cries Gangster #1. "It's 'Muscles Olsen,' who just made a bum outa Superman!"
When Jimmy rushes to attack the tough guys, he finds his power has gone. Gangster #1 throws a punch at Jimmy and...he...well, he sort of flips... To be honest, I'm not sure what the hell he does, but I'm almost positive that it's impossible.
Here, I'll just show you...
Jimmy heads off to Professor Potter's to find out what happened to his strength. The Professor is quite startled to hear about Jimmy's predicament and assures him it's quite impossible.
"Why don't you make some more serum using these chemicals? Superman is experimenting in the other lab-room. You can test it again!"
Jimmy agrees and makes an extra large portion, carrying the rest around with him in a flask. True to the Professor's word, Superman is in the other room, mixing random chemicals together, because....you know, why not?
Two ass-beatings in one night is pretty harsh, even for an intrepid youth like Jimmy Olsen. This seems like as good a place as any to leave off, dear readers, and until we meet again, keep tittering on the edge of your seat.
