Bizarro-Jimmy Olsen

In August 1961 (Adv No. 287) Jimmy Olsen was "bawled out" by Daily Planet editor-in-chief Perry White for turning in stories that simply weren't interesting enough. After leaving the office, he spotted Bizarro, with a duplicator ray in one hand and a Bizarro clone of Perry White being guided by the other. He soon found out that Bizarro had cloned Perry White to run his homeworld's newspaper, the Daily Htrae and he joined the two in a spaceship ride to the Bizarro World.

While on the ship, Bizarro-Perry White hired Jimmy Olsen to work for the Daily Htrae. At first he refused, but after Bizarro threatened to throw him out into space he reluctantly accepted. Olsen's run at the Daily Htrae proved to be unsuccessful, since he turned in sensational stories that were unpopular with readers. (Daily Htrae readers preferred more ordinary stories, such as: "MARSHMALLOWS GET TOASTID IN THEATUR FIRE; THEM SURE TASTE GOOD!" or "TWO BIZARROS ARRESTID FOR SWEEPING DIRT!")

Though his career was a failure, Jimmy Olsen was rewarded with a marriage proposal from a Bizarro-Lois, whom he was ordered to marry. To avoid marriage, he slipped into a laboratory and created a duplicate of himself, who objected to the wedding. Thus, Bizarro-Jimmy Olsen was born.
