Jenny Everywhere: Difference between revisions

}}'''Jenny Everywhere''', also known as '''the Shifter''', was an anomaly in the [[Multiverse]]: versions of her existed in most every universe and she had the ability to [[Shifting|shift]] her consciousness or her physical self from one universe to another.

 

 

Although aloof in her demeanor, she was explicitly and outspokenly heroic, always looking for occasions to champion goodness and fight gloom and wickedness. She had a non-powered best friend and sidekick in the form of [[Trip]].

Jenny particularly championed mutant humanoids and other personages on the fringe of society like herself.

At some point, this Jenny Everywhere, who had horticultural abilities, cultivated the [[Focus Lotus blossom]] on “a remote antipodean island” and distilled residue from into a chemical which “shifted one's brain properties from a state of funfair-induced erratic grasping-for-immediate-sensory-pleasures to an uncharacteristic state of constant and sustained focus”, ideal for experiencing a particularly great circus performance.

The Shifter once encountered the plight of [[Dromedary Man]], a telekinetic hybrid who was being exploited as a circus freak at the fun fair on the pier of a seaside town. After meeting up with Trip, she determined that the problem was that the unbalanced [[Mr Haffalife]], builder and owner of the pier, was privileging unsatisfying, ephemeral but instantly-satisfied attractions rather than the art of the circus. After helping to recover Haffalife's beloved [[Giant Panda]] (a stuffed toy whose loss had turned him even crankier than usual) as well as [[Ani]]'s [[This Place Is A Mess|journal]], Jenny organized a dazzling circus performance that inspired a change of heart in Haffalife. Some time later, she and all the people she had met during the adventure got together for a dance party. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Freak Issue (comic story)|The Freak Issue]]'')

[[File:Jenny Everywhere (Untitled J. Fritz comic story).png|thumb|right|210px|Jenny visiting [[NASA]] H.Q. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Untitled (J. Fritz comic story)|Untitled]]'')]]One version of Jenny Everywhere was incapable of physical [[shifting]] from one universe to another, and instead justified the nickname of “the Shifter” by her ability to ''shape''shift into other creatures, all the while retaining her human intelligence and the power of speech. She once walked into the headquarters of [[NASA]] out of curiosity, and, when close to being caught by security, shape-shifted into an ape to avoid detection. However, she was then confused with the actual test-flight apes and forcibly sent on a rocket flight. This Jenny was last seen reflecting that “no shapeshifting would get her out of ''this'' one” as she became seemingly the first human in her world to leave [[Earth]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Untitled (J. Fritz comic story)|Untitled]]'')

Later, alerted that a wounded man needed urgent help, she happened upon a bigoted missionary called [[Brother Martin]]. She did what she could to help him, although doing him no favors, merely telling him how to get food and water rather than actually giving him either. She had a lengthy chat with Martin, trying to figure out his worldview and — once she got a reasonably clear picture — attempting to change him for the better, though it's unclear that she had much luck in the latter endeavor.

[[File:Jenny Everywhere (Truth Serum).png|thumb|left|150px|Jenny keeps a positive attitude when captured by her archnemeses. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Truth Serum (comic story)|Truth Serum]]'')]]One version of Jenny was once captured by her arch-nemesis [[Jenny Nowhere#Team-up with Ketchum|Jenny Nowhere]] and her new ally, the evil chemist [[Caleb Ketchum]]. She was tied to a chair and fed a truth serum of Ketchum's devising. The two villains then asked her “where the [[Rabbi (Truth Serum)|rabbi]] [was] hiding”; to the evildoers' disappointment, Jenny placidly answered that truth serum or not, she couldn't tell them, as she hadn't the faintest idea. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Truth Serum (comic story)|Truth Serum]]'')

Jenny sparked the ire of villainous [[Mr Albany]], who had a strong dislike for what Jenny described as "overachievers and oddballs", like herself and I.M. Hip. He tried to ask for her parents' phone number, which failed when she informed him she was her own parent. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Albany Gets PWNed (comic story)|Albany Gets PWNed]]'') This Jenny was somewhat narcissistic and certainly uninhibited, having been observed to kiss ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Mother Knows Best, Kinda (comic story)|Mother Knows Best, Kinda]]'') and even sleep with other incarnations of herself.

[[File:Jenny Everywhere in The Secret Origin of Jenny Everywhere.png|thumb|right|175px|Jenny shrugging at [[Retro]]'s question. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Secret Origin of Jenny Everywhere (comic story)|The Secret Origin of Jenny Everywhere]]'')]]In [[Universe B (The Secret Origin of Jenny Everywhere)|one universe]], a version of Jenny who was skinny, with short-cropped brownish-red hair, green eyes, and pale skin, and wore a blue [[Jenny Everywhere's scarf|scarf]] was friends with the time-traveling android and noted comic fan, [[Retro]]. They once hung around in a large room, each in a comfortable green poofy chair, reading comics. After Retro read ''[[Jenny Everywhere: Secret Origins]]'', a comic which purported to give Jenny's "true" origin story, he asked her if the story had really happened. Evasively, and seemingly confused by the question, Jenny shrugged and answered: "Eh, kinda".

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids]]'')]]One version of Jenny, who wore a thick red scarf and green parka and had brown skin and eyes, discovered that many versions of her were being lost, or losing their powers, due to the [[Rifts]] appearing throughout the multiverse. She investigated, and discovered than an organization known as the [[Consistency Imperium]] seemed to be causing the Rifts to materialize everywhere they went. Even she soon lost control of her abilities, accidentally [[shifting]] into the [[Void]] itself.
