“Chaos” was the only known name of a mysterious and powerful being who was “hell-bent on destroying everything he [could] get his hands around”. After one incarnation of Jenny Everywhere began to oppose him with a help of a crew in the ship known as the Wilson, he became one of Jenny's staunchest enemies, sending agents after even other incarnations of her.
Nature
In one account, Chaos was shown with a symbol on his chest resembling a corrupted Abstract sigil, suggesting he may have been an Abstract of Chaos. (COMIC: The Mind of Jenny Everywhere) Chaos recruited disciples, many of whom were shifters in their own right and had their own reasons for hating Jenny Everywhere. They included at least one incarnation of Jenny Nowhere. (COMIC: The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles) Jenny thought of Chaos as a parasitic entity which sought to “eat” other realities. (COMIC: The Mind of Jenny Everywhere) Chaos's attacks, even via agents, tended to be, somewhat logically, chaotic; one Jenny was able to determine that one assassin hadn't been sent by Chaos, despite planted evidence suggesting otherwise, by reasoning that the attack had been too well-coordinated to be Chaos's work. (COMIC: The Legend of Jenny Everywhere)
Biography
After he'd already been fighting the crew of the Wilson for some time, Chaos once materialised, unseen, aboard the ship while the crew were busy dealing with the activities of Odious on the Earth of Universe Juliet-Two-Two-Six. (COMIC: The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles) Chaos controlled at least one universe, in which echoes of the various monsters felled by Jenny across the years were allowed by his influence to coalesce into a vengeful entity known as the Fallen One. (PROSE: The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere)
Chaos later attempted to kill Jenny Everywhere by himself, (COMIC: The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles) fighting both her and Michael Wherever on what happened to be Jenny's birthday. (COMIC: Untitled) He “failed spectacularly”, but Michael was lost in circumstances for which Jenny later blamed herself.
One of Chaos's disciples, Nyx, was killed by the Wilson's Jenny some time after the loss of Michael, albeit at the cost of an entire planet in one universe. Chaos later recruited a Vertginite and sent her after the Jenny of another universe. He simply told her that she would love the form of Jenny once she adopted it, but did not give the shapeshifter any wider insight into his plan. After mimicking Jenny, the Vertginite became this universe's incarnation of Jenny Nowhere. (COMIC: The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles)
As part of their plan to use one captive Jenny Everywhere to collapse the entire Multiverse into one world, believing this was the path to enlightenment, the Brotherhood of Multiversal Oneness put together an elaborate web of deception meant to lure them to where they wanted her, which involved tricking several Jennies into believing that agents of Chaos were at work in Dimension 331. The desired Jenny duly travelled there, also summoning the Man With No Name, as she thought his dimension gun could be useful against agents of Chaos. However, they quickly realised the organisation they were up against was altogether different from Chaos's followers. (COMIC: The Legend of Jenny Everywhere)
After the collapse of the Multiverse into the “Collapsed Cosmos”, the “All-Devouring Chaos” and the Fallen One were smushed into one, much less powerful being going by the name of “Typhaon”. He had the physical form of “a glowing, seething green orb”. Finding a despondent Jenny Everywhere sitting on a park bench, the entity proposed to fight her, beginning to gloat about how he had found her at her weakest, but Jenny refused to interact with him, claiming that it “just [wasn't] the same”. Admitting that she was right, Typhaon left, promising to get his revenge on her later when the Multiverse was restored. (PROSE: The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere)
Behind the scenes
Benj Christensen noted that he had considered several alternate versions of Chaos's ultimately-unrevealed backstory, posting the following on the Jenny Everywhere Discord server on April 29, 2021:
| Chaos likewise has been different things over time. Originally he was going to be a version Michael Wherever, instead of being like Jenny that can handle living in multiple realities at once it would be too much and he would appear like a crazy screaming energy person. Then at another point Chaos was going to be Jenny, or any number of other characters. |
