** In "Superman's Phantom Pal", Jimmy gets a chance to see Superman changing into his SecretIdentity. As Clark points out afterward, this would be "scoop of the century", but it would betray his friend's trust. Jimmy opts to shut his eyes.
** In "The Legends that Came to Life", some magical phlebotinum affects the studio of a million-dollar game show Jimmy is participating in, causing the answers to become real. After escaping death when the living legends use him as bait for a kryptonite trap, Jimmy runs back to the studio...because he's figured out what's going on. Once there, he gives the wrong answer in order to create a new Superman to save his friend.

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: In the first "Elastic Lad" story in issue 31, Jimmy Olsen's costume as Elastic Lad was colored green rather than magenta and had the writing on his chest include a definitive article in his codename by reading "The Elastic Lad" instead of just "Elastic Lad". The costume would gain its more familiar look by the second Elastic Lad story that turned up six issues later.

* ForgottenFirstMeeting: A half-example appears in one comic. Jimmy, arriving in Metropolis for the first time, takes a job as a test subject for a scientist which ends up sending him to Krypton before the explosion. He spends the issue watching over baby Kal-El to give Jor-El and Lara time to complete the rocket. The time stream interferes with Jimmy's memory, meaning he has no idea this happened, but Superman remembers and befriends Jimmy because the teen saved his life.
