They had a serious confrontation with Brainiac 5 and Supergirl's shippers. Many of them were disheartened when Kingdom Come was released and they learned of the existence of Brainiac's Daughter.
@@guillermodebaskerville7117 I read kingdom come and don't know brianiacs daughter. But brainiac 5 was supergirl's last major silver/bronze age love interest.
I think that this shows that the DC writers had a very interesting home life with their wives. "My wife put on a new costume last night, and it gave me a great idea for a Jimmy Olsen comic!" Also: I think "Superman's Brother-In-Law Jimmy Olsen" would have been an incredibly funny title for the comic.

Jimmy and supergirl is not bonkers at all. Lois and Jimmy is so strange. There was a song about jimmy that he secretly loved lois and I don't know where that came from. I never read the jimmy marries lois book though. So I don't know his thoughts on her. Jimmy and supergirl is just a mild whatever.
The Red Kryptonite not only robbed Linda of all her memory of being Supergirl, it also caused her wig to remain stuck to her head. It didn't rob her of her super strength, however. Since she didn't remember she had it, she didn't use it. When she used it accidentally, it restored her memory and she was able to remove her wig easily since she now knew she had super strength.
DC needs to relaunch that title, and show Lois leaving Clark for Wonder Woman, and Black Canary, and Catwoman, and Zatanna, and Hawkgirl, and Starfire, and Raven, and Jade, and Vixen, and Batwoman, and Power Girl, and Cheetah (Which one?

Back in the 1970's, when "The Superman Family" was transitioning to the Dollar Book Format, the comic was slated to be edited by Tony Isabella. His big idea for Supergirl, was to get her into a hot and heavy relationship with Jimmy Olsen (then in his "Mister Action" phase). Apparently she was gonna clue Jimmy in on her secret identity and the hook up would then be used to create some tension between Kal El and Kara and then between Jimmy and Lois Lane. Isabella ultimately parted with DC Comics before the idea could be implemented, but it had some intriguing aspects since it was gonna be such a conflict generator.
My favorite trivia about Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen is that at one point Jack Kirby himself took over the title, including the debut fo the character of Darkseid, of all people (clearly Jimmy needs to marry Darkseid at some point)
Sasha you were on FIRE this episode! Lol! "Why does Superman keep giving Jimmy things?". "It's amnesia-ception!". "And stop giving people Kryptonite!". "Stay petty Jimmy!" "It's all vanilla ice cream at the Olsen house" I don't know if it's me, but this episode tickled the heck out of me!
perhaps, fearing that her wig would fall off in public, Kara used superglue to stick it on, "only I have the strength to remove it!" and that's why the wig never came off during her amnesia? aw, it makes as much sense as anything in this crazy story!
It actually would make sense that they would be a couple. He ends up becoming an official member of Superman's family. It helps the El line of Kryptonians alive.
Time for Supergirl to jump on the marriage train! At least she's not marrying her pet horse this time! Still hoping we get a breakdown of her Satan Girl Saga, though
@@hydrolito ...Does that really make his situation any better, tho? Powers are cool, sure, but...It's funny to think that he would have been equally distressed if he'd become a full man! At least he didn't have to relearn how to walk, haha!
Jem, of the Holograms, would later perfect this type of relationship! As to why she would play convoluted mind games in the first place, well, look who her principal role model is...
I remember the episode where jerrica created a third persona, and went after Rio again... Or one of the early episodes where as Jem, she beseeches Rio to hold her after some trauma.
From what I remember of the Silver Age Supergirl stories I've read, each individual piece of red kryptonite can only affect an individual kryptonian once (hence why Superman was immune to it, having previously encountered it before handing it off to Jimmy). I *think* that each individual piece has an effectively random effect (ie, whatever that story's plot needs), but each piece has the same effect on each kryptonian exposed to it. Also IIRC the effect of each piece of red kryptonite lasts a consistent 24 hours.
I was glad you brought up the amnesia/wig thing because it was driving me crazy. If I recall my silver age correctly (it has been a few years :-D ) a piece of red kryptonite could only affect a given Kryptonian once, then that particular Kryptonian became immune to that particular piece, which explains why it didn’t affect Clark. Now, what happens if you split the piece? Would it become a “new” one? I dunno. Doesn’t really make much sense, but hey, silver age. Also, red kryptonite affects were usually only temporary, so the amnesia wearing off is to be expected.
Oh good, someone did mention it. Also each piece has a different effect from others. Sometimes it was a physical mutation and sometimes it affected their personality. Red K must be more unstable than the usual green so in the Silver Age it does whatever the writer wants to do to mess with Superman and Supergirl.
So the secret of a good marriage is to adopt a fake persona and convince your partner to cheat on you with them? Good to know... (And I assume that being married in a comic only involves hand holding. Comics Code, Yay!)
Jimmy's constant transformations are actually important in the elseworld, Justice League: The Nail. That's why I tell people to read certain issues of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen before reading Justice League: The Nail, because without context certain big reveals become weird and seemingly come from nowhere.
Sounds perfectly plausible to me. The only part that didn't make any sense was, where was Krypto the Super Dog this whole time? You see it just doesn't add up.
Given the way Lucy treats Jimmy in this period any decent romance would be cheered on by his fans. There's also a story where someone tries to give Jimmy a better girlfriend by making a robot and I'm pretty sure the girls of the Legion Of Super Heroes got involved at one point because of course Silver Age Jimmy hung out with the Legion as well as Darkseid.
Sasha can I just say you are awesome! I've never cared so much about comics or enjoyed someone talking about them, but you make this thing so fantastic. You take me back to story time in elementary! I am so sure bedtime stories with your child are an unforgettable adventure! Thank so much for your time and dedication.
I'm not a prude....But at 8:40 you mentioned hair pulling the Olsens as "vanilla" (a common though odd usage how hard to get, exotic and expensive actual vanilla is) ,I was frankly shocked. You naughty person!
Most of these Imaginary Stories from the Silver Age had bad endings, like they wanted it to be a morality tale about why the Status Quo shouldn't change. This is the only one that has a happy ending, like it someone actually got their Jimmy/Supergirl fanfiction published.
When did Superman and Supergirl ever patrol together? I never remember those stories. What kind of situation would need 2 super cops to handle that wouldn't have required everyone like the JLA to also be involved?
I think the thing to focus on here is that Jimmy apparently doesn't recognize his wife's face. Otherwise this whole "make him cheat on me WITH ME," scheme would have been d.o.a.
To be fair they went on one date and then got married, Lois has know both Clark and superman closely for years so I think it's pretty par for the the course
Given Jimmy’s reputation as a self-insert character, I can imagine fans writing in saying he should hook up with every female-shaped thing in the DC Universe
Maybe her parents signed off on her marrying so young? That was known to happen in the fifties. Also, Jimmy is like 17 or 18 himself at this point. He s also later revealed to be an orphan, albeit a rich one.
You know after thinking about it maybe wierd mind games is just part of kryptonian courtship. I mean we don't have a lot of examples of kryptonian relationship norms and it would explain a lot.
It looked like something might develop between Jimmy & Kara when she first appears on Superman The Animated Series but they never went anywhere with it. For what it's worth the Kara In-Zee story which began on Superman & ended on Justice League was the best none comic portrayal of Supergirl. Better than the Helen Slater movie and the current tv series.
Me: "Red kryptonite? I hope there's a refference yo that Smallville episode where a red kryptonite ring turned Clark into a horny rebel" Sasha: "No leather jacket for you today, Superman"
Boy that was a crazy time. You had me laughing the entire time Great job! This is an example of how I sometimes wish DC Heroes did settle down and act like people.
When are we going to get the long-lost third part of the Superman supporting character series trilogy, "Superman's editor, Perry White"? It's literally just Perry proofreading, yelling at his staff and criticising Lois on her spelling mistakes. All within the confines of his office!
I see a video from you concerning some comic book character getting married ... I click! 1000 of people needed Jimmy and Supergirl together ... I find that suspect. Ha. That's a lot of amnesia! And that might be a faster wedding proposal than anything for Lois. Half a date! I think I prefer Jimmy marrying Kara rather than Lois. At least Supergirl loved him!
A piece of red kryptonite only affects a Kryptonian once and then it wears off. After that, the same piece of kryptonite will not affect them, but it will affect another Kryptonian. Superman was already affected by that piece so he's immune to it.

Learning I'm a superhero would be bad for his emotional stability,, better stalk him and pressure him into cheating, that's nice and relaxing
Curt Swan's art was GORGEOUS, he's EASILY my favorite classic Supergirl artist.
Thank you! One of the best crazy silver age stories of all time!
After seeing that cover.im going to need you to review that catwoman and lois lane issue.lol
I think the real question here is why that carnival has a game where you kill Superman?
Me: "Red kryptonite? I hope there's a refference yo that Smallville episode where a red kryptonite ring turned Clark into a horny rebel"
Sasha: "No leather jacket for you today, Superman"
Using it in Kandor could have triggered a leather jacket shortage in the city.
Boy that was a crazy time.
You had me laughing the entire time Great job!
This is an example of how I sometimes wish DC Heroes did settle down and act like people.
Oh no Lois is rubbing off on Supergirl!!
Actually, Superman/Clark Kent. Think about all the cheap stunts he's pulled on Lois!
@@karenl6908 to be fair Superman and Lois are both bad influences. Lol.
Hair pulling. I love the bedroom shenanigans 😆
When are we going to get the long-lost third part of the Superman supporting character series trilogy, "Superman's editor, Perry White"? It's literally just Perry proofreading, yelling at his staff and criticising Lois on her spelling mistakes. All within the confines of his office!
You know what. These sorts of stories are growing on me. Damn you, Sasha!!
Jimmy turning into things playlist - yes please!
I see a video from you concerning some comic book character getting married ... I click!
1000 of people needed Jimmy and Supergirl together ... I find that suspect. Ha.
That's a lot of amnesia! And that might be a faster wedding proposal than anything for Lois. Half a date!
I think I prefer Jimmy marrying Kara rather than Lois. At least Supergirl loved him!
I lost everything with the "vanilla ice cream" hahaha
A piece of red kryptonite only affects a Kryptonian once and then it wears off. After that, the same piece of kryptonite will not affect them, but it will affect another Kryptonian. Superman was already affected by that piece so he's immune to it.
LOL!!! This is LITERALLY a futurama plot, when bender pretends to be flexo in order to [rove that Angeline loves flexo...by making her fall in love with flexo!
