History
In the beginning of his career he befriended co-workers Clark Kent and Lois Lane and became Superman's pal. After a while, Jimmy began taking on riskier assignments, earning the "Mr. Action" moniker.
Eventually, Jimmy got married to Lois' sister Lucy and succeeded Perry White as Daily Planet's Editor-In-Chief. Ironically, Jimmy hates being called "Chief" the way his predecessor did.
