The Puritan Streaker
The Puritan Streaker was a minor dimension-hopping supervillain, faced on multiple occasions by the Parallax Universe's Jenny Everywhere. As his name implied, he was a nudist, wearing a hat as his only item of clothing.
After her visit to Ecord spontaneously put her in a rather revealing “barbarian heroine” outfit, Jenny commented that she “hadn't worn so little in public since the last time [she] met the Puritan Streaker”. (PROSE: Jenny Everywhere and the Eye of Argon)
The Puritan Streaker later popped up in another universe where he teamed up with local supervillains La Frotteuse and Yaoi Boy to cause mayhem on the Côte d'Azur. Unable to deal with them because she was busy taking care of more serious business in Paris, the local Jenny, “Jeanne Partout”, contacted the Parallax Jenny and asked her to come to Nice to deal with them. Though she was prepared to deal with the Streaker and La Frotteuse, she was unaware of Yaoi Boy's involvement, allowing him to ambush her and tie her up with magical Japanese knotweed after stripping her. An embarrassed Jenny shifted back home, where Kim had to cut her free of the magical bindings. Kim later visualised this story using Professor Awesome's non-canonical imaginizer for April Fools' Day, over Jenny's objections. (PROSE: Return of the Puritan Streaker)
In yet another universe, the Puritan Streaker crossed paths with a different version of Jenny. He agreed to meet with her at the clothing-optional Tranquil Tree Trunk Luxury Resort and Spa to discuss a treaty that would make nudism a state-sanctioned religion. When he arrived for the meeting, he was furious to see Jenny wearing a towel since he had requested no clothes be worn. She pointed out that he was wearing a hat but the Streaker claimed it was to prevent his hair from getting wet when it rains. Jenny noted that it was not raining at the time and called him a hypocrite. This enraged the Streaker who said he wanted to eradicate all textiles. At that point, Jenny's old rival Olga Desmodica joined the conversation and the Streaker became infatuated with her. He introduced himself to Olga as Edmund St. Castleton. When Olga suggested they combine forces to dominate the cosmos, the Streaker agreed. Jenny then used the Medusa app on her smartphone to turn the Streaker into a stone statue, which had been her plan all along. (PROSE: There's an App for That)
Behind the scenes
In the author's commentary for PROSE: Jenny Everywhere and the Eye of Argon, Scott Sanford elaborated on his thoughts on the throwaway reference to the Streaker: “What do you think the Puritan Streaker's deal is, by the way? My guess is that he lives on a nudist world and has some objection to people who go around gratuitously wearing clothes”. He added “If any of you have ideas for this, feel free to grab the inspiration and run with it!”, effectively releasing the Streaker as an open-source character.
