CALL IT A HUNCH

Jimmy has an excellent and /almost/ preternatural sense of intuition. It's what allows him to come to conclusions, make hunches, and so forth with only a modicum of information at his fingertips.

Skills

ExpandClick to expand.

ATHLETICS

In junior high Jimmy was a an expert pole vaulter and track star.

DISGUISE

Even as a kid, Jimmy saw the usefulness of pretending to be someone else if only to keep himself out of trouble. As time has passed he has refined this survival skill to allow him to get into places unseen (more or less) to get the facts and pictures for his next story.

DRIVING

Jimmy is a skilled driver, a skill rare among city dwellers. He has driven scooters, motorbikes, cars and even a race car.

JOURNALISM

While not initially formally educated as a journalist, Jimmy gained his first journalist experience literally in the field and at the feet of Lois Lane and Clark Kent. His natural aptitude to research and investigation has made up for the lack of formal education though he started taking courses at CUNY a few years ago.

MULTILINGUAL

Growing up in the simmering melting pot of cultures that makes up Suicide Slum, Jimmy is conversant (if not FULLY fluent) in Spanish and Korean. Add through his association and adventures with Superman over the years can read and speak Kryptonese (at least as good as a Kryptonian adolescent).

PHOTOGRAPHY

Jimmy is a naturally skilled photographer, having started as a young teen taking pictures with an old non-digital camera he inherited form his grandfather who was a Charlie MoPic photographer for the US Army during the Vietnam War. It's also his grandfather who taught him to be a photographer before he passed, as well as how to develop film the old fashioned way which is a lost skill in this day and age.

STREETWISE

Born in Suicide Slum, Jimmy developed his street sense at quite a young age. He knows the ins and outs of the streets intimately and can usually find news sources that few other older reporters can match.

TECH SAVVY

Though he was born into an age of relatively cheap consumerism, Jimmy grew up poor enough that he rarely had the newest gadgets. To save money he taught himself how to rebuild and fix most relatively advanced electronics and, over time, to build his own if need be. The skill has come in handy, like when he built his first signal watch to alert Superman, to repair his cameras and, sometimes, sabotage equipment while pursuing a story of aiding someone in need. He is quite well versed in the use of computers, enough so that he could make a decent hacker if he truly set his mind to it.

CAMERAS

Jimmy always has a camera on him, if not more than one. His pride and joy is his grandfather's Nikon F which he used as an Army "Charlie MoPic" during the Vietnam war, but he has a plethora of various digital cameras (both DSLR and Standard), his camera on his cellphone and and even a few disposable cameras tucked away just in case.

COMPRESSED AIR PEN

Another one of Jimmy's gadgets is a specially made pen that could fire a jet of compressed air with sufficient force of a punch being thrown by a prize fighter.

DISGUISE KIT

Jimmy has built up a comprehensive disguise kit with make up, small prosthetics, costumes and props he can use to hide his identity while chasing a story.

MOTHER

His only surviving relative, and a constant (if loving pain) in his rear, Sarah Olsen is always there to help her son if he needs it. She is overprotective, true, but.. hell.. She's his /mom/.

SIGNAL WATCH

Jimmy's 'infamous' signal watch is a device able to transmit a hypersonic signal that only Superman can hear. He built the original watch himself but apparently it was destroyed and later was replaced by a newer one as a gift from Superman himself. The current watch apparently, according to Jimmy, has stopped working but...

SWISS ARMY KNIFE

The only item he has from his father, returned to him by a friend in the army. Jimmy treasures this knife and hides it in a special compartment in his shoe. Because he's gotten in trouble to many times in his life not to have an ace up his sleeve.

Weaknesses

ExpandClick to expand.

CURIOUS

Jimmy is curious to a fault, always trying to find the truth, and be damned if anything gets in his way.

IMPETUOUS

Jimmy is brash and brave and impetuous, willing to jump into any situation to get the perfect shot or to aid someone in need.

ONLY HUMAN

In a world of super-humans, aliens and even gods (little g), Jimmy is only human. He has no powers (well, sometimes he gets them but thats a WHOLE other story) and is fragile

SUPERMAN'S PAL

Even though Jimmy has distanced himself somewhat from Superman he is still known as Superman's pal and with that blessing also comes the curse of being a target by any one of Superman's enemies.
