“The Human Metal-Eater!”: After Jimmy is bitten by a Metal-Eater in the Fortress of Solitude, he gains the power to eat and digest metal for 48 hours.
The crooks use Jimmy Olsen’s Signal Watch to trap Superman and Krypto in a submarine with the kryptonite; but Jimmy saves the day by eating the kryptonite, with a little lead on the side.

What does she have to complain? He even got fancy-dressed for this periscope lunch
