Djinns, or genies, were ageless magical beings which could turn themselves to smoke and, thereby, be trapped in small containers such as bottles or lamps.
One universe's incarnation of Jenny Everywhere was a djinn, known as “Genie Everywhere”, or Djinn fi kuli makan in Arabic. She became trapped in a bottle for centuries until she was freed by another world's Jenny at the behest of Cha Ni, the oracle. (PROSE: Paying It Forward)
Similarly, one universe's Jenny served as the Genie in the Aladdin story. She was bound to a lamp until Aladdin wished her free, whereupon she resumed interdimensional travels. (PROSE: Shippy Shifter Snippets)
In the Prime Universe, a number of Genies were once owned by the First Horde, but freed themselves from their clutches in the 1960s and subsequently founded the independent Company of Free Genies, operating a freelance wish-granting business in the Home City. The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids and one version of Jenny Everywhere had contacts with them, among others. (PROSE: The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere)
Hector Fenwick was familiar with the tale of Aladdin in his home universe; one of the non sequitur questions he bugged the Copper-Colored Cupids with during his visit to the Cupid Homeworld was why, in that story, Aladdin had not circumvented the three-wishes limitation by asking for more lamps containing more genies. (PROSE: The Metafictional Meddler)
