In one universe, the Vanilla Puddings of Riegel 6 were a sapient alien species with advanced technology and questionable ethics.
They were huge blobs with large mouts and eyes, with small mechanical claws welded into their ‘torso’ to serve as arms. Some worer hats or other forms of headwear, and one was seen to wear glasses, but they didn't have much of a concept of clothing, and the apparent ‘clothes’ in which they dressed captured victims was actually something which they conceptualised as ‘spices’.
In 2010, their King, K'orr'h, travelled to New York City in a personal ship to capture a few humans to eat. They happened to capture Kelly and Jenkins, a pair of bankers who hated each other. When it turned out that humans were too solid for the jelly jaws of Vanilla Puddings to be able to chew them, the Vanilla Puddings considered letting them go, but after Kelly insulted him, the King instead gave them over to a Vanilla Pudding mad scientist, Professor Xwumb'h, as experimental subjects. In a typical display of mad-scientist irrationality, Xwumpb'h's experiments gave the humans superpowers, which they promptly used to destroy the Vanilla Pudding ship and escape.

According to the Bureau of Singularity, it was originally written that Kelly and Jenkins would die during this adventure, and their survival was an anomaly that endangered the whole of reality. (COMIC: Life… in the Heart of the City)
