Zed Vs. The Superpowers was a one-strip comic story by Johann-Octavius Gans, the third installment of the Zed Vs. The World. It introduced the series' version of Jenny Everywhere.

Contents

Plot

Zed Hudson is asked by Jenny Everywhere. After listing off some standard ones, he also reveals he has Fourth Wall Awareness, literally winking at the readers, to Jenny's confusion.

Worldbuilding

Jenny Everywhere

• This story introduces Universe Gemini's version of Jenny Everywhere. She is only starting out, not controlling her powers yet, and has no Fourth Wall Awareness. She appears as a young seemingly Afro-Asian woman with long black hair and brown eyes. She wears blue overalls over a purple, short-sleeved T-shirt, as well as blue-rimmed goggles with a white strap, a small light-pink scarf and a hairtie of the same colour, and blue lipstick.

Universes

• This story takes place in a continuity identified by Johann-Octavius Gans as “Universe Gemini”.

Continuity

• This story elaborates on the generic “superpowers” Zed Hudson had been mentioned to possess in the two previous Zed Vs. The World comics, COMIC: Zed Vs. The Backstory and COMIC: Zed Vs. The Usual.

Behind the scenes

Background

On DeviantArt, Johann-Octavius Gans appended the comic with the following commentary:

This was the 3rd or 4th page of 'Zed Vs. The World' that I made, but not necessarily the 4th posted. That's one of the things I like about doing gag-a-day comics. If you don't start out with any concrete continuity, you can edit and retcon the order as needed. Here we see Zed with his bff, - his reality's native version of Jenny Everywhere. This Jenny is just coming into her powers as The Shifter and doesn't really control them yet. She hangs out with Zed hoping to learn and gain experience with them.

—Johann-Octavius Gans
