Jenny Nowhere was Jenny Everywhere's antithesis and one of her most persistent foes throughout the multiverse; though not as ubiquitous as Everywhere, Nowhere existed in a wide array of the universe, and shared Jenny's ability to shift in body or in mind from one to the next — although unlike her benevolent counterpart's, all of Jenny Nowhere's selves tended to have distinct styles and personalities with no particular unifying trait aside from her evil.

The Woman Without a Shadow

The terrifying Jenny Nowhere. (PROSE: Nowhere)

One version of Jenny Nowhere was a stern, joyless woman of statuesque appearance with long blond hair; she wore a black suit and, most strikingly, a gas mask. She wast no shadow and once stated that she had “lost” her name “a long time ago”. On one occasion, she resurfaced in the multiverse and, after frightening a male associate of Jenny Everywhere, told him to go warn her that Nowhere was back and “it was her turn”. (PROSE: Nowhere)

Team-up with Ketchum

Jenny Nowhere gloating over Jenny Everywhere. (COMIC: Truth Serum)

One version of Jenny Nowhere, who had pale eyes, long blonde hair, and the classic black outfit, teamed up with evil chemist Caleb Ketchum as part of some scheme which involved tracking down a rabbi in hiding. They managed to capture Jenny Everywhere and feed her truth serum, but found, to their disappointment, that she didn't actually know the answers to their questions. (COMIC: Truth Serum)

Behind the scenes

Genesis

After making her debut as a twist ending to COMIC: Damn File Hostile Takeover, Jenny Nowhere was defined (as it were) by Nelson Evergreen on Episode #20 of the Webcomic Beacon podcast as “a blank slate. How she looks, how she dresses, her character quirks, what her agenda might be – it’s all up to the individual who wants to do something with the name. Anyone can create their own Jenny Nowhere from the ground up.” He explained:

We’d imagine that – whatever she is – she functions in some way as a “prime antagonist” to Jenny Everywhere, like you say. Yin to the yang, and that. Which can work in all sorts of ways. I like the idea that in each universe there’s a Jenny Everywhere who’s recognizably Jenny Everywhere in name, character and appearance… and somewhere in each universe there’s a Jenny Nowhere who’s recognizably Jenny Nowhere in name only. Maybe creators should be encouraged to come up with a Jenny Nowhere that actively avoids comparisons with existing versions of the character… to go out on a limb and make up something totally unique.

—Nelson Evergreen

Upon creating their own version of Jenny Nowhere, Jeanne McClure noted that they “were fine” with people using that design, although they did also enjoy seeing other people's takes.
