Jimmy is also known as "Superman's pal" and has privileged access to him with the aid of a special signal watch, which with the press of a button emits a special ultrasonic frequency signal that Superman can hear anywhere on Earth. He also goes by the nickname "Mr. Action" and in the Silver Age occasionally took a potion which gave him stretching powers as "Elastic Lad."
