Jerry Cornelius has sometimes been named as a predecessor to [[Jenny Everywhere]] as an “open-source character”, particularly given that he shares of her conceit of existing in infinite variations across the Multiverse. However, despite this popular belief, Moorcock never formally released Cornelius in the public domain; though looking kindly on authors performing “homages” to the character that grew into distinct works of art, albeit referencing the original Cornelius explicitly, he notably took great issue with Grant Morrison reskinning the core features of the character (without altering or broadening the core concept) under the name of Gideon Stargrave.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070311002930/http://www.multiverse.org/fora/showthread.php?t=2853 Grant Morrison thread on the Michael Moorcock Multiverse Forums]</ref> | Jerry Cornelius has sometimes been named as a predecessor to [[Jenny Everywhere]] as an “open-source character”, particularly given that he shares of her conceit of existing in infinite variations across the Multiverse.

Nevertheless, the character has been an influence on Jenny Everywhere media. [[Jeanne Morningstar]] cited reading Moorcock's original ''Cornelius Quartet'' as having spurred them to write ''[[The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere (novel)|The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere]]'', whose title is a reference to ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airtight_Garage Le Garage Hermétique de Jerry Cornelius]'', a graphic novel featuring a version of Cornelius as a secondary character. [[Michael Moorcock]] himself is referenced in ''The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere''. | |||
