Synopsis:
After meeting with the Hairies, Superman escorts Jimmy Olsen and the Newsboy Legion to a secret installation which houses a classified research project. Superman reveals that the Hairies were grown there as clones. Upon arrival at the project, the boys meet their dads who have been working at the project.
While the boys enjoy their reunion, Superman escorts Jimmy to the lab and shows him clones, including several microscopic Jimmy Olsens. However, the cloning facility has been penetrated by Simyan and Mokkari, two agents of Darkseid from Metropolis. They stole samples of Jimmy's DNA and created a giant monster infused with Kryptonite. The evil scientists then send their creation back to the project where it beats Superman.
Jimmy reaches the original Newsboy Legion who have been conducting their own special experiment in cloning. They unleash the Golden Guardian, a clone of the now deceased Jim Harper, to battle the giant Olsen.
