([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere and Superman (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere and Superman]]'')]]A version of Superman apparently existed in [[Universe (That Feeling When Your Antagonist Is Gay For You)|one universe]] alongside [[Jenny Everywhere (That Feeling When Your Antagonist Is Gay For You)|Jenny Everywhere]]. She once ran into him while on the roof of a building, and, excited, ran along after the flying superhero, with Superman noticing before she did that she seemed to be headed for the edge of the building.

=== As fiction === | |||
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.
