Synopsis
Jimmy Olsen, Jr. and Lola Kent fall in love and wish to get married. Lola’s father, Clark Kent, says “no” to the marriage due to concerns that Lola has superpowers and Jimmy Olsen, Jr. does not. Despite Lola’s parents opposing the marriage, Jimmy Jr. and Lola elope, but only after Jimmy Jr. has crafted a serum that gives him superpowers. In addition, Jimmy Jr. shares the serum with Lola’s mother, Lois, who also gains superpowers. Lex Luthor, however, gums up the works with a wedding “gift” that robs Jimmy Jr. and Lois of their newfound abilities.
