Jenny Anywhere was a shifter similar to Jenny Everywhere, although she did not exist in every reality of the Multiverse, but “merely” in an indefinitely large number of them. Though less idealistic than the other Jenny, Jenny Anywhere was also an agent of good, and the two were generally friends when they met.

According to one account, there were many Anywheres with various names and agenda across the Multiverse, who all adopted names of the form "[First Name] Anywhere" and were characterised by their reckless but creative attempts to increase the size and complexity of the Multiverse ever further by branching off new, artificial timelines from existing universes. What relationship, if any, any given incarnation of Jenny Anywhere bore to this group was exceedingly unclear.

Description

Physical appearance

Jenny Anywhere was a tall pale-skinned woman with long straight hair she died a variety of colours. In her clothing she seemed to favour the colour red, with a burgundy trenchcoat as her most recognisable article of clothing. She also wore a scarf like Jenny Everywhere, but no goggles.

Biography

In Reality Z-25 31-H

In Reality Z-25 31-H, Jimmy once joined Jenny Everywhere and Jimy Wherever on an adventure a few days before Jenny's birthday. Holding Jenny's hand, she raced with the Shifter and her boyfriend through an unidentified cosmic landscape. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere and Friends)

Behind the scenes

Genesis

Jimmy Wherever was unveiled by Carter-Ethan Rankin in April 2013 on the Public Domain Super-Heroes Wiki, under a similar open-source license to Jenny Everywhere's, as part of an effort to create a recurring background cast for Jenny that could be used as freely as the Shifter herself. Rankin created Jimmy Whrever and Jimmy Anytime around the same period.

The public-domain blurb written by Rankin to introduce the character included many details which have yet to be translated into narrative media.

Jenny Anywhere is a recently appeared wannabe of Jenny Everywhere. Although her intentions are good, she is not original by any means. Her power isn't even as good as Jenny Everywhere's, Jenny Anywhere can only shift between realities but, not through time.

In terms of looks and dress, she appears generally along the same lines as Jenny Everywhere, although a tad more modern fashion-wise and has abandoned the aviation goggles (if she ever had any to begin with).

More recently, Jimmy Anytime, a genetically modified clone created from a tissue sample obtained from the real Jimmy Wherever, and accelerated to maturity artificially in an attempt to capture and subdue Jenny Anywhere has appeared. Though, who did this and why matters little, in terms of the characters themselves. Although originally rivals, Jimmy Anytime saw through his mental programming and joined sides with Jenny Anywhere. The two are now a couple.

Jimmy Anytime has been created with time travelling abilities to coincide with Jenny Anywhere being able to shift to any other location and/or reality but, not forward or backward in time. They may join their powers together by simply holding hands, in order for both to travel through space and time.

Carter-Ethan Rankin

A short time later, Jeanne McClure criticised some aspects of the character as created by Rankin, suggesting various tweaks and additional features.[1]This included a proposal to rename the character to “Julie Anywhere” to prevent confusion, which was not used by subsequent stories (with The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles instead using the name of Julie for Jenny's sister).

Hmm. I wasn’t fond of either of those concepts when I first came across them in the wiki–they seemed too limited and limiting–and I’ve already come up with a completely different supporting cast, but this is a neat piece of art. So here’s how I would handle handle them, since I’m sure everyone wanted to know. (…) Jenny Anywhere, on the other hand–I don’t think “Jenny” should be her name, as that makes things unnecessarily confusing. The first name that Barbelith came up for JE was “Julie,” so I’d go with that. Contrary to the original bio, she can shift through space and time but doesn’t connect to her counterparts. Anyway, if Jimmy, in a weird sort of of way, reflects Jimmy Olsen, than Julie would be Lois Lane. Someone who’s naturally cynical and hard-bitten and determined, but she looks up to Jenny, but also wants to challenge her. But their relationship isn’t romantic–it’s more of a legacy hero/mentor relationship. (Well, hardly ever.) To put it another way–if Jenny Everywhere is Two and (character I haven’t properly introduced yet) is Six, then Julie is Nine. Well, the coat makes me think of Nine.
Jeanne McClure


Some time later, artist "Lady Kraken" posted another interpretation of the character, alongside her own rendition thereof.

Jenny Anywhere is also known as "The Makeshift Shifter", or just "Jen A" to her friends. She has limited "Shifter" abilities based off of a serum that was made from Jenny Everywhere's DNA. She can teleport through space and time, so long as she has a visual aid of where she's going, and she can "alter dimensional properties", but the altering only lasts for an hour before changing back to the original state. Shifting between realities also takes a physical toll on her. She's a public domain character who can be used by anyone, so long as you include this paragraph.
