Absolute Superman continues to shake up the classic Superman mythos. This issue introduces a drastically different Jimmy Olsen, now a member of the Omega Men who opposes Lois Lane and Lazarus Corp. The story explores themes of corporate evil, political corruption, and the struggle for justice.
. Many familiar elements of Superman have been changed — Superman grew up on Krypton and wasn’t launched away from the planet as an infant, so he knew his parents and culture.. Lois Lane isn’t a prize-winning reporter, but works with the Lazarus Corp, following her father’s footsteps into the military, and hunting down Superman .
In the mainline DC Universe, the Omega Men are a group of aliens from the Vega Sector, home to many of DC’s best sci-fi concepts and stories .
This is Primus, another member of the Omega Men, and she isn’t trying to get Lois to renounce Lazarus — she’s trying to kill her. The two fight it out, with Jimmy eventually turning his gun on Primus to compel her to stop. Lois calls Brainiac, who sends in the Peacemakers, and orders the AI system to use non-lethal rounds, which it denies. Before things can get too crazy, though, red dust fills the area and Superman arrives.
have their differences from the mainline DC Universe, but they aren’t as different as Absolute Superman has been. Every issue so far has shown readers yet another big change to the Superman mythos and this newest one shows yet another major departure from the Superman that everyone knows. Jimmy Olsen isn’t a photographer or even an investigative reporter looking into Superman; he isn’t an ally of Lois Lane, working with her to find Superman.
However, even then, the similarities between Absolute Jimmy Olsen and regular Jimmy Olsen shine through. Jimmy is of the lowest rank of the Omega Men because he doesn’t want to hurt people, always looking for a more heroic way to win. He may be against Lazarus Corp. and an enemy of Lois Lane, but he wants to get through to her so she’ll see the error of the ways, still trying to work with Lois in his own way.
