Prior to the Series
James used to work at the Daily Planet as a photographer. Here he met Clark Kent and Lois Lane and became close friends with both of them. At some point, during a conference, Lois refered to him as 'Jimmy'. He is still trying to get rid off the nickname, as he feels like it is not professional.

After a few years, James changed positions and went to work for CatCo Magazine. He met Kara and Winn here and hooked up with the latter.

At some point, he has begun dating Kara, as well as Lena when they were introduced.

James has met the rest of the National City Crew before the events of the GCAU.
