Why Did You Even Give Him A Signal Watch, Kal-El?

Some days...

Superman is not a very good best friend.

Just for the record, A) only Supergirl is having "bigger troubles" and B) Superman isn't going to help her or any other members of the Superman Family. He's going to The Fortress to use the "what if" machine (the same one he and Batman used to view the hypothetical Super Sons) to see what would have happened if Krypton had blown up before he was born. Because high priorities. [SPOILER ALERT: Infant Jor-El and infant Lara are launched to Earth, and adopted by separate Smallville families.]

Anyway, I had hoped that Jimmy would spend his story mocking Speedy ("Stop horsing around" "don't make me smack you" "Working with you is like a shot in the arm"). Alas, it was not to be...

From Superman Family #192 (1978)

  2. Jimmy once summoned Superman because he had cockroaches in his lunch. Screw that guy.
