Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen Vol 1 #99 – Jimmy’s Legion-Powered Showdown!
Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #99 (January 1967), by Jim Shooter with Pete Costanza’s art, is an electrifying Silver Age adventure. Jimmy Olsen borrows the powers and uniforms of Legion of Super-Heroes members Element Lad, Lightning Lad, and Sun Boy to battle the Weapons Wizard and his henchmen. Wielding elemental control, lightning bolts, and solar energy, Jimmy takes on the Wizard’s high-tech arsenal in a Metropolis clash. The villain’s schemes threaten the city, but Jimmy’s borrowed abilities, guided by Superman’s mentorship, turn the tide. A backup tale pits Jimmy against a time-traveling crook.
