The first episode of My Adventures with Superman introduces us to Clark Kent (Jack Quaid), Lois Lane (Alice Lee), Jimmy Olsen (Ishmel Sahid), and Perry White (Darrell Brown). After a short intro with young Clark discovering his powers in Smallville, we move forward several years to Metropolis and Clark and Jimmy’s first day as interns at The Daily Planet where they meet Lois and quickly get pulled into her search for a big story involving stolen robots. While we don’t get Superman in costume here, we do get Clark defending Lois and Jimmy in a hoodie in the episode’s big action sequence against a series of killer robots, and Lois coining the moniker which he will eventually accept.
