Subject Matter
Genres: superhero
First Line: Sometimes people can tell lies and not be found out for a while!
Synopsis: Professor Potter accidentally slips Jimmy a "Pinocchio Legend" formula intended as a lie detector. It works, making Jimmy's nose grow - and grow and grow - whenever he tells a lie. He discovers "telescopic smell" and sniffs out a fire across town, then blows away a crook with a super sneeze. Lois, meanwhile, slips Clark the "perfume" to check if he's really Superman - and Clark's nose also grows!

Subject Matter
Genres: superhero
Character(s): Edmund Willis; Barry Brand; Vince Regan; Jeff Wacker; Dr. Wilmington
First Line: One fateful day an inhabitant of the planet Jupiter selects Jimmy Olsen as the guinea pig for an amazing experiment.
Synopsis: Jimmy agrees to be a test subject for a week for men from Jupiter. He is granted the ability to read minds, but is also turned into a green, scaly Jovian. He uses his abilities to compete for the Newsman of the Year, though he covers his appearance. Between scoops, Jimmy reads Clark Kent's mind and "hears" him think that he is Superman. Jimmy’s rival Vince Regan plans to expose Jimmy at the ceremony, but luckily a Jovian week is equal to 5 Earth days, and Jimmy has reverted to his old self by then. The Jovians declare the experiment a success and help Superman preserve his secret identity.
