([[COMIC]]: ''[[Infinity Apartment (comic story)|Infinity Apartment]]'')]]'''Superman''' was a superhero who existed as a fictional character in multiple universes. | ||
His origin story involved his father, a scientist, shooting him into space in a space pod when he was a baby so that he could survive the imminent destruction of their home planet, [[Krypton]]. The baby then landed on [[Earth]] in [[Kansas]], where he was adopted by a kindly family called the Kents. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') | |||
A comic with “some guy bashing a car” was published in 1938 in [[Universe A (Miss Adventure)|one universe]]. [[Mr King]]'s [[Wintle Newsstand|newsstand]] in [[Chicago]] received this comic at the same time as [[Jenny Everywhere (1938 comic book)|a ''Jenny Everywhere'' comic]]. Although King noted that the one about the “guy” “could be a winner”, he seemed more invested in promoting the Jenny comic. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Miss Adventure (comic story)|Miss Adventure]]'') | |||

In [[Universe (Parallax)|another universe]], [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny]] and her neighbour [[David Lowe|David]] were both familiar with the story of Superman. They discussed the similarity when, due to [[shifter hangover]], Jenny got glimpses of memories of [[Jenny Everywhere#Origins|an origin story for herself]] that sounded suspiciously similar.
