The comic ''[[Jenny Everywhere: Secret Origins]]'' claimed that he was a scientist with brown hair and a graying beard. The Professor lived on "the oldest and most advanced [[Earth]]" in the [[multiverse]] and married [[Jenny Everywhere's mother|a red-haired woman]] who held a high military rank. Shortly after the birth of their daughter Jenny, the Professor spent months studying the reason the stars in the planet's sky had been going out. He discovered that a [[Living Black Hole|malevolent, destructive force]] from another universe was destroying [[Universe A (The Secret Origin of Jenny Everywhere)|the universe]]. | |||
After he failed to get his warning across to the government, and still according to the comic, the Professor and his wife worked on creating [[the Pod]], a machine which could allow one person — Jenny — to survive the end of the universe. Placing her in the Pod at the eleventh hour, the Professor gave the girl his [[Jenny Everywhere's goggles|goggles]], to protect her from the flash of light which would accompany the machine's activation. He and his wife were then presumably killed alongside the rest of the planet when the destructive being arrived. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Secret Origin of Jenny Everywhere (comic story)|The Secret Origin of Jenny Everywhere]]'') [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|One version]] of Jenny got a glimpse of what sounded like this version of her origin while suffering from [[shifter hangover]], commenting on how similar it was to [[Superman]]'s origin.

==== Amelia Midnight and the Princess Katerina ==== | |||
In a number of continua, [[Jenny Everywhere#Origins|Jenny]]'s origins were variations of a single familiar story. In these universes, Jenny was the (sometimes adopted) daughter of [[Amelia Midnight|Captain Amelia Midnight]], a famous inter-dimensional adventurer in her own right, captain of the [[hypership]] ''[[Zephyrus]]''. Having a number of enemies, Captain Midnight would then hide Jenny away on the interdimensional isle of [[Island of Barbelo|Barbelo]], to be raised by [[Princess Katerina Corwin]], the Captain's primary love interest. Although usually a woman, there were some universes where Captain Midnight was instead Jenny's father. In the [[Collapsed Cosmos]], this origin seemed dominant for the [[#In the Collapsed Cosmos|“collapsed” Jenny]], who recognised a [[Amelia Midnight#In the Collapsed Cosmos|version of Amelia Midnight]] who had retired at the [[End of Time]] (and who was an amalgamation of all of Amelia's selves) as her mother.

==== Mr Bainbridge ==== | |||
In [[Universe (The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere)|one universe]], [[Jenny Everywhere#Jenny Brainbridge|Jenny]]'s father was a British man called Mr Bainbridge, who shared her liking for [[toast]]. He held vaguely chauvinistic, curmudgeonly opinions, casually using a slur to refer to the [[Japan]]ese, but was the friendlier and more easygoing of Jenny's parents in contrast to her success-obsessed [[Jenny Everywhere's mother#Mrs Brainbridge|mother]] who wanted to cut out all whimsy and distractions from Jenny's life in favour of focusing on her getting good grades in school. Mr Bainbridge was a football enthusiast and often liked to talk football with his daughter or take her out to games; he thought of nothing of taking a girl to ''see'' the games, but nevertheless held that it was “a man's game” when it came to actually playing it.

Because "Jenny Everywhere's father," on the face of it, is an extremely vague concept defined by his relationship to an open source character, the broad idea of "Jenny Everywhere's father" can be considered an open-source character, although the visualisation and characterisation of him in [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Secret Origin of Jenny Everywhere (comic story)|The Secret Origin of Jenny Everywhere]]'' is not open-source. | Because "Jenny Everywhere's father," on the face of it, is an extremely vague concept defined by his relationship to an open source character, the broad idea of "Jenny Everywhere's father" can be considered an open-source character, although the visualisation and characterisation of him in [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Secret Origin of Jenny Everywhere (comic story)|The Secret Origin of Jenny Everywhere]]'' is not open-source. | ||
