Jenkins

Jenkins, later nicknamed “Mr See-Thru”, was originally a depressed New York City bank employee in Reality Z-25 31-H. However, after he and his tyrannical boss Kelly were abducted by aliens, they ended up getting superpowers, with the catch that they only worked when they were in close proximity to one another (something which greatly bothered both of them, as they couldn't stand each other's company).

Description

Personality

Jenkins was a timid man struggling with depression and feelings of worthlessness, largely induced by Kelly's mistreatment of him. He had no interest in wealth and power, preferring a quiet, happy life. (COMIC: Journey Into Misery)

Powers & abilities

After Professor Xwumb'h experimented on him, Jenkins acquired superpowers, although they only worked proprotional to how close she was to Jenkins. They included a weak form of invulnerability and the ability to turn invisible at will. (COMIC: Journey Into Misery)

Biography

Gaining superpowers

By 2010, Jenkins was working for Kelly's investment brokerage company in New York City. He was struggling with serious depression and, in an effort to get Kelly to take him seriously, threatened suicide. However, she icily called his bluff and told him to go back to cleaning his desk. As they were arguing as a result of this, the building was rammed by a flying saucer. Though she tried to dodge out of its way, the two were captured and ended up onboard the ship, where they were confronted with K'orr'h, King of the Vanilla Puddings of Riegel 6. After introducing himself, K'orr'h attempted to eat them but proved unable to chew them. He spat them out, which Kelly couldn't help but make fun of.

The erratic mad scientist, seemingly not realising the inherent problem of logistics involved, performed experiments on them which, while painful, he surmised might give them superpowers; indeed they did, and, letting her anger loose, Kelly destroyed the ship and its crew in a blast of fire. She also tried to kill Jenkins in the melee, but it turned out that the superpowers he had gained included mild invulnerability. After calming down, Kelly had no choice but to take him back to Earth with her, as they were still handcuffed to each other by chains of alien metal that defied even her strength.
