* **(Event / Elastic Lad Rises / Start)** Superman fights a Stretcheleon criminal named R'ffan, who comes to Earth to sell alien drugs. They do battle and R'ffan's blood gets on Superman's suit. It stains it purple. He brings R'ffan to the Fortress of Solitude to interrogate him. After securing R'ffan, Superman hears Jimmy Olsen plummeting off the side of a tall building. He rushes over to his location and catches him. He brings Jimmy back to the top of the building. Superman uses his heat vision to weld the safety rail back in place and tells one of the building's employees to get that checked. Jimmy thanks Superman and notices that they are both covered in a purple liquid. Superman apologies and says that he just got back from fighting an alien in space and that their blood permanently stains on cloth. Jimmy says he never liked his current shirt anyways. Superman says he's off to clean his suit at the Fortress of Solitude and flies off. Jimmy goes home and takes off his shirt to throw it away. He reaches for another shirt and his arm elongates. He then realizes that the alien blood gave him elastic powers.

Clark agrees to tail him for the day, mostly to make sure he stays out of major trouble, and to see what Jimmy can do as a potential ally. Jimmy struts around the city and shows off his stretching powers to onlookers and takes a few photos with people. Jimmy does some good deeds like saving a cat out of a tree, retrieving a baseball that went out of the school's practice field, and confronting an armed store robbery.
