More actions
Jimmy Wherever, nicknamed the Shiftee, was a muscular, blond Canadian man who acted as a boyfriend to many versions of Jenny Everywhere. Although it was unclear whether there existed several Jimmies in the Multiverse all involved with Jenny, and whether these Jimmies had any contact or special relationship, Jimmy did not at any rate possess shifting abilities of his own, only becoming able to travel the Multiverse when Jenny took him along on her own trips.

Behind the scenes
Genesis
Jimmy Wherever was unveiled by Carter-Ethan Rankin in February 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 Jenny Anywhere 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.
| Jimmy Wherever is a love interest of Jenny Everywhere.
Code-named "The Shiftee," Jimmy, himself, is non-powered but, may shift wherever Jenny is headed by simply holding her hand. Thus, he can easily be "wherever" Jenny Everywhere is. Being a top journalism student, he has excellent detective skills. He is Canadian with blond hair, blue eyes, and an athletic build. Where he came from or what his up-bringing was like is, as yet, unknown. In contrast to Jenny Everywhere's favourite food being toast, Jimmy's is bread... un-toasted. He has a genetically modified clone known as Jimmy Anytime. |
